Kate and Rio are reportedly eyeing up a move to Dubai, almost decade after first meeting in the country. 

The former TOWIE star and ex footballer are said to be ‘seriously considering’ relocating with their children and have already began looking at swanky properties and schools in the area.

Together they share kids Cree and Shae, while Kate is also stepmother to Lorenz, Tate, 16, and Tia, 13, from Rio’s marriage to late wife Rebecca Ellison.

According to The Sun, the couple would base themselves in The Gulf and travel back to the UK for work, while also giving Rio opportunity to boost his business portfolio aboard.

A source told the publication: ‘Rio and Kate are seriously considering being based out in the Gulf and are looking for a sprawling home with plenty of bedrooms.

‘They love the lifestyle and sunny weather and have lots of friends out there. It’s a very safe place for families and offers a healthy lifestyle, which suits them well.’

‘It holds a special place in their hearts as that’s where they met and both could easily travel back and forth for their work commitments in the UK’.

MailOnline have contacted Kate and Rio’s reps for comment.
