Kate Ritchie shares special moment with young daughter
On Thursday, Kate Ritchie enjoyed special bonding time with her three-year-old daughter Mae at the beach.
Despite recent split rumours surrounding her marriage to former football player Stuart Webb, Kate looked as happy as ever.
The 37-year-old uploaded a special picture of her embracing Mae with the caption, “So I found this little treasure in the sea today… #justcallmeapirate #bestdays.”
Enjoying a day at the beach, Kate braved the fierce Australian heat with a wide-brimmed hat and tortoise-shell sunglasses.
Mae wore a black and white striped rash shirt and an adorable bright pink hat.
The adorable post with her daughter comes shortly after Kate addressed the persistent split rumours with her husband.
In Stellar magazine Kate said, “It doesn't hurt my feelings, not anymore.”
“I think in the old days it did. There's no point in getting bogged down about what other people think is happening in my life.”
The radio personality also revealed that she and her former Home And Away co-star Bec Hewitt regularly joke about which one of them will make it into the gossip magazines next.
“The only positive in having the magazines write about my love life is that I know the Hewitts are getting a week off.”
Bec and Lleyton have also endured the speculation that their 12-year marriage is breaking apart.
Kate and Stuart tied the knot in an intimate country-style wedding in 2010, following a one-year engagement.
Mae was born in August 2014 which inspired Kate to write her first children’s book I Just Couldn’t Wait To Meet You.
Rumours first started circulating about their marriage after the couple bought a new house in the Southern Highlands last August.
The Daily Telegraph claimed the pair were living separately, with Stuart residing in the new home while Kate remained in their Sydney home with Mae.
In June, Kate appeared to squash the rumours by revealing she wanted more kids in an interview on The Morning Show.
Kate was asked by co-hosts Kylie Gillies and Larry Emdur what she would like to have achieved in a decade’s time.
“I'd like to think in 10 years I'd had more children," she said.
“And as much as I hate to say it, in 10 years I'll be frantically planning a 50th birthday party.”
