Kate broke down as she spoke on her relationship with the kids in a BBC documentary called Rio and Kate: Becoming a Stepfamily, adding, "It's hard for us so I just can't imagine how hard it is for the kids," Kate said. "I just want the children to be happy."
Meanwhile, Rio said: "There ain't no manual that tells you how to become a step-mum."
The documentary will be aired on February 10.
