Les Family:

Les has lived a very professional life and keeps his internal matters behind closed doors.

However, he was once engaged to the former singer, actress, voice-over artist, and television presenter Dani Behr famous for presenting the 1990s TV show The Word; the pair dated between 1995-98.

Likewise, he was also in a relationship with Ulrika Jonsson after meeting at a charity event in 1998. The football coach now has a family and children; his 35 years old son Aaron Ferdinand is also an athlete and made several substitute appearances during the 2005-06 campaign, per a source.

However, Aaron didn’t have a successful career as his father; he trained with Steve Coppell’s men and had good potential. The Ferdinand junior joined Harrow Borough in July 2006 and appeared for Potters Bar Town and Broxbourne Borough.

Furthermore, Les also has a gorgeous daughter in her mid-20s; Michael Stephens (Alamy) captured a picture of the former footballer with his children and sister in December 2005 when he received MBE from the Prince of Wales at an Investiture ceremony in Buckingham Palace.

Rio Family:

Rio was born to Janice Lavender and Julian Ferdinand; his mom is Irish, and his dad is Afro-Saint Lucian, and they named him after the Rio Grande.

Janice had Rio when she was only 17 and never married Julian; later, they went their separate ways when their son was 14. The former athlete’s dad moved out when he was nine, which made them grow closer.

His parents moved on with new partners. Furthermore, he has six siblings, a biological brother Anton Ferdinand, two from his mom’s remarriage with Peter, and three from his father’s side with Lisa.

Likewise, the television pundit exchanged wedding vows with his long-time partner Rebecca Ellison whom he met when he was 21. They shared three kids; however, Ellison lost her life to breast cancer in 2015. 

After losing his first wife, he married Kate Wright in September 2019, and they welcomed their first child in December 2020. However, the former athlete has not revealed the face of his little ones on social media posts.
