The former TOWIE star shared a string of photos of the pink-themed bash, which Tia shared with her friend.

She also shared a snap of Tia, who turned seven, and her pal’s birthday cake, which featured cupcakes with the girls’ names on them.

Kate also posted a picture of the decorations at the party, including a blow-up postbox with pink balloons coming out of it.

She captioned the pic: “Just wow,” followed by a heart-eyes emoji.

Rio has three children – sons Lorenz, 12, and Tate, 10, and daughter Tia.

Kate decided to step away from the limelight, quitting reality TV in order to focus on her new role as a stepmum to Rio’s children two years after his wife Rebecca – the mother of his kids – tragically passed away from breast cancer.

Kate shares an extremely close bond with Rio’s children and during an interview with Daily Mail’s You Magazine last year, she revealed the kids were keen for her and Rio to have a child.

She said: “The kids would like a little brother or sister; they say ‘I dreamt that you were pregnant’. But right now we’re just happy with our little unit.”

Kate also stressed she will never try to replace the children’s late mother, Rebecca, and spoke about how they honour Rebecca’s memory.

“Their mum is irreplaceable; we celebrate her birthday, we go to the cemetery together,” she said.

In November last year, Rio and Kate announced they were engaged after he popped the question to Kate in front of his three kids on holiday in Abu Dhabi.

At the time, Rio revealed his kids knew he was planning to get down on one knee but managed to keep it a secret from Kate.

Both shared pictures from the happy occasion showing the kids first watching the big moment and then congratulating the couple.

Rio wrote on Instagram: “She said yes. How these three kids kept it a secret I’ll never know.”

Kate added: “The perfect end to our holiday … How could the answer not be yes?”

The couple were introduced by mutual friends at the start of 2017 and they immediately clicked.
