Rio looked every inch the doting father in the post as he was seen cuddling their youngest child Shae while relaxing in the shade.
Alongside the post she penned: 'July has been full of memories (& food) in our home from home'.
The podcast presenter is a stepmother to her husband Rio 's three children: Lorenz, 18, Tate, 16 and Tia, 14.
And she also has two children with Rio: son Cree, born in December 2020, and daughter Shae, born in 2023.
Other snaps saw her looking glamorous in a plunging black dress as she posed with Tia - whose face they don't yet show.
Kate also shared a sweet snap of Shae and Cree looking out over the sea as they wore matching swimwear.
It comes after Rio shed light on the early stages of his relationship with his now-wife Kate earlier this month, and admitted his kids' reaction decided the future of their union.
Appearing on Kate's podcast Blended, the former footballer revealed how he dealt with introducing a new romance after losing his beloved wife Rebecca, and being left a single father to his three children.

Rebecca died aged just 34 after a short battle with breast cancer. She appeared to be in the clear only for a scan to reveal the disease had spread to her bones five weeks before her death, prior to which she planned her own funeral.
Amid his grief, Rio met Kate, who he began dating in 2017, however he revealed her introduction to his family was slow moving. The couple wed in Turkey in September 2019 and share two children; Cree, four, and Shae, who turns two later this month.
Discussing introducing his relationship to his children, Rio told his wife: 'It's hard, you don't really get over it if you do it wrong, if it's done abruptly without conversations and done the wrong way.
'But if people are saying no, the kids are saying no I don't know, man. I'm just lucky, fortunately we didn't get to that point...
'But if my kids have said no, we're probably not here right now. Because we don't get the chance to get to where we are, where we're like madly in love...
'Because as soon as the kids say no - we were in love at that time, but it was still early enough to think where you go, but on both sides, you go, 'The kids ain't accepting me, I can't get into this. It's too much stress.'

Rebecca's death left Rio a single father to Lorenz, 18, Tate, 16, and Tia, 14 (the family pictured with Kate in 2020)
'And I'm going, 'The kids ain't happy. They're going to have to be number one.' And I think there's a lot of relationships that would end up because of that...
'I don't know how you push on after you've just found someone, you fell in love with them, you two together, and the kids aren't involved in that...
'And then when they get involved and not happy, I don't know how you still move forward together like that unless you separate it.'
On navigating the introduction stages, he said: ''I do think it's important in the way that you introduce this new person into the house. We very much were on the basis, we talked a lot before we even broached the idea with the kids...
'We brought Kate in as a friend first, they started seeing her around at different things that we go into friends' houses, et cetera. Kate will be there. And Ronnie, the dog, which is a great softener as well...
'But those moments of familiarity and, 'Oh, it's only Kate,' soften that next move where you go, 'Right, guys,' and you bring that. I just think we were really much about bringing them into the conversation, make them feel, have some ownership over the whole situation...
''Listen, guys, you remember Kate?' Let's see where we go then, Dad.' I think if you do it wrong, I've been in a situation, my own family recently, where it's done wrong. And I've been part of the ramifications of that and the repercussions'.

I'm 100 per cent sure I couldn't make it as a professional golfer
Gareth Bale admitted he was '100 per cent sure' that he could not become a professional golfer. The former Real Madrid and Wales star is well known for his love of golf and has cut his handicap from 'three or four' to just 0.1 since retiring from football in January 2023. Advertisement That has led to suggestions that Bale – who has played on the PGA Tour at the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-am where footage of him making a brilliant chip from a cart path went viral – could try and make it as a professional golfer, despite having turned 36 earlier this month. Gareth Bale (right), with Colin Montgomerie, is used to playing celebrity golf events (Mike Egerton/PA) 'I'm fully, 100 per cent sure, I can not make it professionally,' Bale told BBC Wales ahead of this week's AIG Women's Open at Royal Porthcawl. 'When you are in golf and you see professional golfers play, compared to even your best stuff, it is nowhere near. 'When I've played with those players and watched them, you really appreciate how good they actually are. Advertisement Multi-sport athlete ⚽️ The cart path is no problem @GarethBale11 . — PGA TOUR (@PGATOUR) February 2, 2023 'Never mind just playing with your friends, they are doing it under the most severe pressure, in tournament conditions, in hard weather. 'So there won't be any professional (golf) for me. 'But I love the game. I love watching it, I love growing it.'

Mary Earps and Millie Bright break their silence on England's Euro 2025 triumph - after dropping out of selection pre-tournament
Mary Earps and Millie Bright took to social media to share their congratulations after England retained their European Championship crown on Sunday. Following a nail-biting final that saw the defending champions battle back from the brink after Spain took an early lead, Chloe Kelly netted the decisive penalty to secure the Lionesses' second Euros title. The triumph marked the culmination of a difficult campaign for Sarina Wiegman 's side that saw them repeatedly come from behind before clinching victory. In a post on Instagram following the win former Manchester United goalkeeper Earps wrote: 'Wow wow wow incredible.' Meanwhile Chelsea captain Bright hailed the team's success: 'Proud to be English. Well done team.' England's victory was made all the more impressive as they were without the pair, who have been so instrumental to the team's success at international level. The pair congratulated the team on their success with posts on social media on Sunday night Earps had been England's No 1 for both the 2021 Euros win and the team's run to the final of the 2023 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. However, Sarina Wiegman opted for Chelsea's Hannah Hampton as her preferred choice between the sticks in the lead-up to the this summer's tournament. As a result, Earps announced her retirement from international football just five weeks before the tournament was set to get underway, prompting a backlash on social media. The 32-year-old later claimed that she felt she had been 'villainized' for electing to step away when she did. 'I think I was villainized in a way, it was a bit hard to see and read things,' Earps said on Fearne Cotton's Happy Place podcast. 'It's more what my friends and family see and then the way they interact with me. I'm like, "Oh, I know you've seen something", and I'm upset for them because I'm like, "You didn't choose this. You've now got to deal with this." 'I'm then gutted for them and I don't really want to know what's being said, but it's coming out in comments. I feel like that's hard.' Earps decision to retire reportedly surprised her England team-mates and angered head coach Wiegman. In public, Wiegman admitted she had been left 'disappointed' by Earps decision. Bright meanwhile declared herself eligible for selection prior to the tournament after revealing that she did not feel like she was at her best 'mentally or physically'. 'This is one of the hardest decisions I've ever had to make, but after careful thought and discussions with my team, I have decided to withdraw from selection for the England squad ahead of Euro 2025.' Bright wrote on Instagram last month. 'Football has given me so much, and representing my country has always been my greatest honour. 'My pride and ego tells me to go, but I think the team and the fans deserve more. 'Right now I'm not able to give 100% mentally or physically. 'As much as I want to be out there running through back walls for England and fighting alongside my team-mates, stepping back is the right timing for my health, my future in the game, and most importantly the team. 'It wouldn't be fair for me to take the place and opportunity away from another player who is ready and able to give everything for the badge and country. Bright's (right) split from her long-time partner Levi Crew (left) may have been one factor behind her decision 'I'll be supporting the team with everything I've got, and hoping this incredible group of players will do the nation proud. 'Thank you to my team-mates, coaches, and, most importantly, the fans for your unwavering support. 'It means the world to me.' It later emerged that Bright's split from her longtime partner, fitness trainer Levi Crew, may have influenced her decision to declare herself ineligible. Bright and Crew shared a home in Surrey and their families were close. She referred to him as her 'king' who is with her 'through thick and thin' and has a tattoo of his eye on her arm which has been shown prominently in official squad photos.

Chloe Kelly's star shines off-pitch too! Lioness heroine is a red carpet regular and wed her husband in a lavish ceremony last year (and she can't resist a trip to Ibiza!)
The Lionesses roared to victory last night in a nail-biting penalty shootout that saw them triumph over Spain in the European Championship final - and it was Chloe Kelly again who scored the decisive goal. Speaking after the match Chloe gushed that she was 'so proud of this team, so grateful to wear this badge' and 'so proud to be English'. The footballer, 27, who also famously scored the winner in England's 2022 Euros final win over Germany, has consistently proved herself on the pitch, after first playing the sport at the age of seven with her five brothers. But outside of the game, Chloe lives a somewhat glamorous life, enjoying lavish holidays, red carpet opportunities and designer clothes. Prior to the Euros, the sportswoman showcased a sun-soaked trip on her Instagram page, showing off her enviable figure in a bright pink bikini. She's also previously delighted her 1.1million followers with glimpses of her holidays to Dubai, Ocean Beach Club in Ibiza and Paris. When she's not training on the pitch for England or for her local team of Arsenal, she also enjoys strutting her stuff on red carpets. The footballer has proven a number of times that she knows how to dress to impress when attending glamorous occasions, such as the MTV EMAs, The BRIT Awards and GLAMOUR's Women of the Year Awards. Clearly a lover of designer fashion, with the sportswoman showcasing an array of upscale handbags on her social media page, Chloe has also attended British Vogue events and London Fashion Week. Her plus one at these VIP occasions - which has included days out at Silverstone for the F1 British Grand Prix - is often her husband Scott Moore. After more than five years together, the couple tied the knot at Merrydale Manor in Over Peover, Cheshire, on 24 July 2024. Chloe and Scott, who is thought to work for a golf centre, first met each other at the Everton playing ground where they both worked at the time and have largely kept their romance out of the public eye. The couple announced their engagement in December 2023. Over the festive period, Chloe took to Instagram to share the happy news after Scott got down on one knee in a romantic Northern Lights proposal in Iceland. The footballer shared a snap as the pair wrapped up in the snow against the lit up green sky. Showing off her diamond ring she posed with her hand on her fiancé's chest as the couple beamed for the snap. She captioned the post: 'The easiest YES. Here's to forever with you'. Chloe also shared a close up of the ring as she skated across the snow in a husky pulled sleigh. The sportswoman was overwhelmed with heartfelt messages from her fellow teammates and celebrity pals as they swarmed the comments. For her wedding day, Chloe opted for a Galia Lahav dress, a flowing gown complete with a high neck and embellished sleeves. Her bridal look was finished off with a matching veil from the same brand along with a pair of Jimmy Choo heels and jewellery from London-based Bucherer Fine Jewellery. Chloe, who typically keeps her makeup low-key on a day-to-day basis, opted for a glamorous look for the occasion, put together by celebrity makeup artist, Selina Bassi. Hair stylist Michael Gray worked his magic on her hair, styling Chloe's blonde tresses into a half updo style. The England ace's bridesmaids wore black silk dresses for the wedding, which was also attended by footballers Gabby George, Sandy Maciver and Mayumi Pacheco. White flowers lined the room where Chloe and Scott said 'I do'. A white aisle and warmly lit candles added to the whimsical setting, with French windows displaying the grounds of the Cheshire venue. The footballer's triplet brothers, Ryan, Jamie, and Martin, were three of Scott's groomsmen, and her sister Paris was her maid of honour. Before her wedding, Chloe revealed a glimpse into what her daily life is like, and stressed the importance of looking after her body. Speaking in an interview with Glamour UK in 2022, she said: 'I train my body to perform, not to look good. But looking good is always a bonus... 'I think being able to perform at the highest level [involves] making sure I'm eating right, drinking right and sleeping well, as well as making sure I'm doing all my recovery possible to perform on the pitch.' Chloe hails from humble beginnings as the youngest of seven children, whose first taste of football was playing with her five older brothers on a caged pitch on the Windmill Park Estate. 'I don't think there are many who came up playing in a cage,' the 27-year-old has previously said. 'I was always around the cage with the boys as soon as I was allowed, about the age of seven. My brothers included me even though they were older and playing with their friends.' However she added her brothers certainly didn't go easy on her because she was a girl 'They were probably the ones telling everyone to hit me harder. Get used to it,' she joked. 'If I was on the floor, they would tell me to get up.' Meanwhile, the Lionesses will celebrate their historic Euros victory with an open-top bus parade in central London and a trip to Downing Street, but there are no plans for a bank holiday. England fans erupted with joy across the country as the team defended their Euros title in a penalty shootout win over Spain in the final in Basel, Switzerland, on Sunday. Chloe scored the winning spot-kick following two huge saves from goalkeeper Hannah Hampton, sending supporters in fan zones into raptures. The King said the team had the royal family's 'warmest appreciation and admiration' following their victory, adding: 'The next task is to bring home the World Cup in 2027 if you possibly can.' The Downing Street reception on Monday is due to be hosted by Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner and sports minister Stephanie Peacock. The team will then attend a homecoming celebration event on Tuesday, with a ceremony expected to take place outside Buckingham Palace. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer hailed the team's triumph, saying: 'The Lionesses have once again captured the hearts of the nation. 'Their victory is not only a remarkable sporting achievement, but an inspiration for young people across the country. 'It stands as a testament to the determination, resilience and unity that define this outstanding team.' There will be an open-top bus parade along the Mall before the ceremony at the Queen Victoria Memorial, the FA said. Fans can attend for free and it will be broadcast live on BBC, ITV, and Sky. However, it is understood Downing Street has no plans for a bank holiday to mark the Lionesses' triumph. Supporters stood on tables, waved flags, threw drinks in the air and excitedly hugged each other as England claimed victory, while the Prince of Wales and Sir Keir watched on from the stands in Basel. Alessia Russo gave the Lionesses hope of retaining their Euros title with her second-half equaliser after Mariona Caldentey netted the opener for Spain in the 25th minute. In a statement posted on X after the game, King Charles said: 'This brings you, your manager and all your support team my most heartfelt congratulations on winning the Euros 2025. 'For more years than I care to remember, England fans have sung that famous chant "football's coming home". 'As you return home with the trophy you won at Wembley three years ago, it is a source of great pride that, through sporting skill and awesome teamwork, the Lionesses have made those words ring true. 'For this, you have my whole family's warmest appreciation and admiration.' The King added: 'More than that, though, you have shown through your example over past weeks that there are no setbacks so tough that defeat cannot be transformed into victory, even as the final whistle looms. Well done, Lionesses.' A picture of the Prince of Wales with his arm around his daughter Princess Charlotte was posted to X following the presentation of the trophy to the Lionesses, with the caption 'champions of Europe'. The pair congratulated the team in a short statement, saying: 'What a game! Lionesses, you are the champions of Europe and we couldn't be prouder of the whole team. Enjoy this moment England.' The statement was the first message Charlotte has personally signed on the Prince and Princess of Wales's X account. Sir Keir was the first to congratulate England on their win – posting on X: 'Champions! Congratulations Lionesses – what a team. What a game. What drama. 'You dug deep when it mattered most and you've made the nation proud. History makers.' William was spotted in the stands applauding and celebrating with those around him – including Princess Charlotte.
