What did rios mum die of

Rio Ferdinand lost his wife, Rebecca Ellison, to breast cancer in 2015. He filmed a documentary, Being Mum and Dad, earlier this year about how he and his three children have coped with grief.

Rebecca died in Rio’s arms on May 1, 2015 – just five weeks after her dignosis. But her memory remains alive with Kate making it clear that the children’s mum is “irreplaceable”. “We always celebrate Rebecca’s birthday, we all go to cemetery together,” Kate has said.
