In one video, Lorenz could be seen sipping on a boozy beverage while in another he stood for snaps with a group of friends.
Kate, who looked stunning in a peplum white strapless top and a midi skirt, showed how sweet the bond is between herself and her step children.
Dotted around the venue were pictures of Lorenz, including one of him and Kate while she was pregnant.
Kate was seen getting a picture at the party with the birthday boy, as well as cuddling her stepdaughter Tia, 14.
While in another video she danced with her son Cree, three, who was sporting a pair of noise-cancelling headphones.
In another sweet video, Rio was seen dancing away before pulling his wife in for a hug.
The party venue was decorated with balloons and had a huge light-up 18 sign in the corner of the dancefloor.
Guests were treated to an array of drinks and there was even someone on hand to make fresh crepes to keep them fed, all to the backdrop of a DJ.

Kate captioned her video of the night: ‘What a night. Before the madness [sweating face].’
She showed off her strong bond with stepson Lorenz as she commended him on his achievements on Instagram last month.
The 17-year-old is following in his footballer father Rio’s footsteps and closed off his season with Brighton FC under 18s with an awards night.
Kate, 32, went along to see the teenager, who signed as the Seagull’s U18s goalkeeper in 2022, scoop a gong, before he moves back into the family home over summer.
The former TOWIE star looked effortlessly stylish in a black figure-hugging top, a satin skirt and Prada heels.
She wrote: ‘And just that the season is over. Such a proud moment watching you get your award last night. It’s been a joy to watch you grow and I feel so lucky to be on this journey with you.

‘I love you so much and we are all so happy to have you home for the summer before the hard work continues.’
Kate also shared a sweet photo of her son Cree, three, in Brighton’s football kit. She wrote: ‘Lorenz and Tate’s no 1 supporter in his football kit’.
Rio’s eldest son signed with New Era Global Sports Management, joining his dad and uncle Anton at the agency.
The 17-year-old signed with Brighton as their Under-18s goalkeeper in 2022 and has made 18 appearances for the Seagulls’ junior squad this term.
