Kate Ritchie's festive family day out

Aussie star Kate Ritchie has put paid to split rumours with a festive red-carpet appearance alongside husband Stuart Webb.

The actress stepped out with her partner and three-year-old daughter Mae to enjoy Sydney's annual Carols in the Domain.

The 39-year-old was stunning in a bohemian-style Spell & The Gypsy Collective maxi dress, while Stu was dapper in a polka-dot button-up shirt and jeans paired with white converse.

Daughter Mae was a little camera shy covering her face from the camera hiding on mums shoulder.

The rare family appearance comes after Kate sat down with Stellar magazine last month, to discuss rumours she and husband Stuart have ended their seven-year marriage.

The 37-year-old Nova radio host said she'd learnt to block out the constant speculation about her love life.

"It doesn't hurt my feelings, not anymore," Ritchie told the publication. "I think in the old days it did. There's no point in getting bogged down about what other people think is happening in my life."

The mother-of-one went on to joke that rumours about her and Webb's union means good friends Lleyton and Bec Hewitt get a "week off" from their own tabloid marriage speculation.

"The only positive in having the magazines write about my love life is that I know the Hewitts are getting a week off," she said.

The Hewitts have faced months of rumours their 12 year marriage is over.

Ritchie and her former NRL player husband married in 2010, before welcoming daughter Mae in 2014.
