Former England footballer Rio Ferdinand was worried he would never find happiness after he lost his wife Rebecca to breast cancer in 2015. After her death, the former Manchester United ace, 41, had to raise three kids—Lorenz, 13, Tate, 11, and Tia, eight, alone.

Talking about Rebecca's death in a new BBC documentary, Rio and Kate: Becoming a Stepfamily, he said: "I thought I'm never going to be happy again. I'll never meet anyone, I was just really content with just being me and the kids and that's all I thought it was going to be.
