Kate Wright has been a dedicated dog mum to her chihuahua Ronnie since her days on TOWIE.

And as the 28 year old celebrated her beloved pooch turning four, Kate revealed that she has given him the same new surname as her.

Kate Wright became Kate Ferdinand following her lavish wedding to former footballer Rio Ferdinand, 40, in Turkey last month.

And Kate revealed that Ronnie is now Ronnie Ferdinand as she shared cute pictures of her little dog on his birthday, much to the delight of her followers.

In her series of adorable pictures, her new husband Rio is seen cuddling Ronnie on a couch, while she also snaps her stepdaughter Tia out for a walk with him.

Kate captioned the pictures: “RONNIE IS 4 TODAY. anyone that knows me knows how much I love this little pooch … he’s also had a name change … his first birthday as Ronnie Ferdinand.” [sic]

On her Instagram stories, Kate – who has a dedicated workout regime – also reminisced on the day that she first got Ronnie when he was a tiny puppy.

It was less than a month ago that Kate and Rio tied the knot in a lavish oceanside ceremony in Turkey which was exclusively covered by OK! magazine.

Rio revealed he felt that meeting Kate was “fate” on the emotional day, which saw both the pair break down in tears on separate occasions.

Rio, who’s first wife Rebecca Ellison tragically passed away from cancer in 2015, told us he “definitely wasn’t looking for someone” when he met his future bride.

“I didn’t think it was possible,” he said. “I wasn’t open to bringing someone in to become a step mum to the kids. Things don’t always go the way you imagine. Meeting Kate changed everything and sometimes it’s just fate.”

Kate has been a very devoted stepmum to Rio’s three children, Tate, Lorenz and Tia, eight ever since she came into their lives in 2017.

The close relationship between Kate and her three step children was reflected in the wedding day as each child has a special role of their own.

Rio’s daughter Tia was not only Kate’s maid of honour, but was the first person to see the blonde Essex beauty in her wedding dress.

The bride told us at the time: “Tia has said for so long that she wanted to be the first one to see me in my dress and she was. She was so happy – she was nearly crying.

“Then she introduced me to my mum and my bridesmaids in the dress and she loved it. It meant everything to her and it was so special for us to share that moment before the madness of the day.”

Meanwhile Rio’s sons Tate and Lorenz walked Kate halfway down the aisle. Reflecting on the moment, Kate said: “Having the boys walk me down the aisle was just amazing. It was a hugely important moment for me and they did so well.

“Seeing Rio at the altar made me feel so happy, I couldn’t wait to get to him.”
