Instagram vs reality: Kate vowed to shared more of life's ups and downs and not just a fake illusion of what her life is like

Over the Christmas break, the couple shared a plethora of snaps from their family holiday in the Maldives, with his three children; Lorenz, 12, Tate, ten, and Tia, seven. 

When one user brought up the couple's wealth in a now deleted comment, Kate quickly hit back. She wrote: 'Money doesn't make looking after 3 children that have lost their mum easier. 

'Yes we can have nice holidays but money can't bring back loved ones and heal grief.

'Looking after children and caring for them comes from the heart not the bank.'

Furious: Her refreshingly honest post comes after the television personality fired back at an online troll who insinuated she has a lavish lifestyle with fiancé Rio, 40 

Kate started dating Rio in early 2017, two years after he tragically lost his wife and the mother of his children, Rebecca Ellison, 34, following a short battle with cancer. 

Rio proposed to Kate in front of his children in November in a romantic gesture while the family where on holiday to Abu Dhabi.

Taking to her Instagram account at the time to share the happy news with her followers on Thursday morning, Kate wrote: 'The perfect end to our holiday ... How could the answer not be yes.'   

The former England star proudly revealed he had included his kids in his proposal plans, and praised them for keeping the secret for so long. 

Posting a sweet snap of the trio watching the special moment, he wrote: 'She said yes. How these 3 kids kept it a secret I'll never know.'   

The former TOWIE star has spoken out about her close relationship with the children, revealing they are keen for her to have a baby so they have another sibling to play with.

Speaking in an interview with the Daily Mail's YOU magazine earlier this year, Kate 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.'
