Sending fans into frenzy, the happy couple were seen expertly lifting weights in what seemed to be a home gym shortly before the cheeky moment.

Kate recently quit her reality TV career to focus on her relationship with Rio and his three children, telling The Sun: ‘I’m taking a step back from the public eye, I want to keep my life private as I lived my previous relationship on TOWIE, my priority right now is Rio and the family.’
A friend also told the publication that Kate had severed ties with several brands she had endorsed, in a bid to distance herself from the limelight.
This comes after Kate was reportedly overheard telling a pal how happy the couple were together. Despite having no plans yet to wed, she told a friend: ‘We are so happy together. It’s going really well,’ a source told The Sun.
Kate has made a huge effort to get to know Rio’s children: Lorenz, 11, Tate, nine, and Tia, six.
It seems to have paid off after a source revealed: ‘She was telling her friends how great everything is for her at the moment. Rio’s children love her.
