It come after the couple watched the footballer’s eldest son Lorenz make his senior football debut last his week.
He made his debut for seventh-tier-side Havant and Waterlooville and secured a 3-1 win, after joining on work experience.
His Manchester United star father was in attendance for the match at the Alfred Davis Memorial Ground in Marlow, alongside Kate.
Kate looked effortlessly chic as she watched on from the stands, sporting an oversized brown padded North Face jacket.
Her blonde hair slicked into a bun and she wore gold and brown shades, while Rio donned an all-black fit complete with cap, coat and sunglasses.
Lorenz was sent to Havant and Waterlooville from his contracted Premier League club Brighton and Hove Albion after a work experience deal was agreed between the two clubs.
These deals for young players give them the opportunity to gain vital experience playing for lower league clubs for several months before rejoining their contracted team.
Lorenz has joined Havant and Waterlooville for the rest of the season after an injury to first-choice goalkeeper Ben Dudzinski ruled him out for the foreseeable future.

Goalkeeper Lorenz has also recently signed a deal with management contract agency New Era Global Sports in 2023 – for which his dad is an ambassador and mentor.
Meanwhile Lorenz gushed over his stepmother Kate as he shared a sweet Instagram tribute to celebrate Mother’s Day.
Lorenz posted an adorable black and white snap of them together on his social media to celebrate the special day.
He first shared a heart-warming snap with his late mum Rebecca, who tragically passed away from cancer in 2015, captioning with a red heart emoji: ‘Happy Mother’s Day’.
It was followed by the picture of the young goalkeeper and Kate, with the same caption, showing his unconditional affection for Rio’s beloved wife.
