Rio's former football club Manchester United commented: "Congratulations,” and Vicky Pattison said: “Congratulations babe 😍”.
Kate and Rio are parents to son Cree, while Kate is also a stepmother to Rio's Lorenz, Tate and Tia.
Rio shares his three eldest children with wife Rebecca Ellison, who sadly passed away of breast cancer in 2015, aged just 34.
This comes after Kate revealed her daughter was in breech position as she shared a pregnancy update back in June.
Speaking on Loose Women, she said: "Can I tell the truth, I'm feeling a bit tired and the baby is breech. So she digs in the ribs and kicks in the bladder."
She also previously spoke about how she hoped the birth of her daughter ‘might be easier’, after she admitted she ‘cried every single day for five weeks’ after welcoming Cree.

Speaking to Zoe Blaskey on the Motherkind podcast, Kate said: “I’m having a C-section because I had to have an emergency one last time, and that’s ok.
“Last time, I had an emergency C-section, and I had all the way pushing and then it went wrong.
“I’ve kind of had both births [already]… I think I know what I’m doing and I’m hopeful that it might be easier.”
Kate and Rio revealed they were expecting a baby girl back in March, as they said: "[Tia] is so excited I feel like she's been praying for a little girl. We are very outnumbered with the boys so hopefully there's a bit more feminine energy in the house."
