The couple attended a lavish New Year's Eve bash at the home of Umar, who founded PLT but stepped down as CEO in 2023, in the United Arab Emirates
'How lucky are we that we now get to party with our big kids, the best feeling.'
Umar founded PLT but stepped down as CEO in 2023, before returning in September last year.
An adorable video showed Kate, who looked sensational in a black halterneck and skirt co-ord, holding hands with her son Cree, four, and daughter Shae, 18 months.
Another clip shared by Kate showed her and Rio having the time of their lives as they sported 'The Kamanis' sunglasses and danced away to performances throughout the night.
The couple returned to the UAE to ring in 2025 - eight years after they met there.
Alongside the post, she wrote: 'Rio & I met 8 years ago yesterday.
'Who would have thought that fast forward to now we would be back in the place we met, married, with 2 more beautiful children, 5 in total
'It's crazy to think that a chance meeting, and so many hurdles thrown our way we would be ready to see in the new year as a family of 7 (just missing our Lorenz).
'Going in to 2025 feeling very grateful and excited for what's to come ✨'.

Kate and and her husband Rio, who married in 2019, are parents to Cree who born in December 2020 and daughter Shae, who was born last year via C-section.
She is also step-mother to his three children Lorenz, 18, Tate, 15, and Tia, 13, from his previous marriage to Rebecca Ellison who passed away in 2015.
In November, three-year-old Cree was rushed to hospital with a horror injury during a family trip to the Maldives.
Former TOWIE star Kate shared the scary news on her Instagram as she posted a snap in the back of an ambulance with her toddler but didn't say how he'd got the injury.
She wrote over the top: 'We ended a fabulous trip with a broken collar bone. My boy just always gets injured!!
'It's been sleepless nights, cuddles, tv & chocolate since.'
The podcaster told how the frightening incident occurred at the end of their 'fabulous trip' and said how Cree 'always gets injured'.

She said that since the injury they have been dealing with 'sleepless nights' as he recovers.
Kate has remained open candidly her struggle adapting in a blended family, admitting she 'overthinks' her actions when it comes to caring for her stepchildren.
During an appearance on Virgin Radio she explained: 'My family are so accepting. They love me. It's nothing to do with them. I just always will feel a little bit worried, and it will be a little bit of a struggle. I don't think the box is ever fully ticked.
'I think sometimes I can mistake them just being teenagers that don't listen. I start thinking, 'Oh my god, is it me? Is it because I'm their stepmum?'
'And every now and then I just have to sit back and say, 'They are teenagers and this is what teenagers do.' But you can be a little bit more sensitive.'
