Rio Ferdinand

Former England footballer Rio Ferdinand has said that it was only after he lost his wife Rebecca to cancer in 2015, that he became more loving towards his three kids — Lorenz, 11, Tate, nine, and Tia, six. In the section of his upcoming autobiography, which he shared with British tabloid, The Sun, he wrote: "The heartbreaking truth is that losing Rebecca has made me more loving. I can't turn back the clock and show her more love, but I can try not to repeat the same mistakes with our children. Being able to cry makes me feel more alive, and for that I am profoundly grateful."
