Christine Lampard has shared the only thing her family does that annoys her husband Frank
The presenter, 45, who has been married to football coach Frank, 46, since 2015, revealed that her son Freddie, three, has caught the football bug and loves wearing uniforms.
In fact, he has the new England kit, his aunt recently bought it for him, but he doesn’t want to wear it. He goes downstairs and Frank says, “Do you know what you did?” And that amuses me a little!’
Frank and Christine married after a four-year engagement at St Paul’s Church in front of friends, family and celebrity guests including TV presenters Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly.
Frank previously spent seven years with Elen Rivas, with whom he has two daughters, Luna and Isla, before they decided to separate in 2009.
The footballer was introduced to Christine at the Pride Of Britain Awards by fellow TV presenter Piers Morgan, another guest tasked with saying a few words at the A-list bash, and also the first star to reveal Frank’s tears on the big day .
Piers recalled the meeting and said on live television after the wedding: “Christine came into the bar and Frank said, ‘Who’s that?’ He looks something like that, which I think is East End saying ‘She’s hot.'” “I told him: ‘She’s way above your league mate.'”
The broadcaster also revealed how Frank had talked about falling madly in love with Christine during their wedding day speech.
He continued: “Anyway, the next thing they did was get together, he said in his speech, he was playing for England and they talked every night for four hours and fell madly in love within a week.”
Instead of Chelsea or England, Christine said she prefers to wear the green Northern Ireland shirt.
In fact, he has the new England kit, his aunt recently bought it for him, but he doesn’t want to wear it. He goes downstairs and Frank says, “Do you know what you did?” And that amuses me a little!’
The couple, who married in 2015, are parents to two young children, while Frank is also a proud father to his two eldest daughters, Isla and Luna, from his previous relationship with Elena Rivas.
Christine recently revealed that Frank is like “the son my mom and dad never had” and said she loves that her in-laws adore him.
While speaking about her parents Frederick and Mina, the beauty told Women & Home: ‘I love the relationship Frank has with my family. Frank is like the son my parents never had.
She continued: “If I’m working or out, he happily sits on the couch and gets pampered just like I do, and he loves it.”
The Loose Women panelist also admitted that life with the former Chelsea and England footballer has changed a little since they had five-year-old Patricia and three-year-old Freddie.
However, she revealed that their 15-year romance is still going strong because they make sure to prioritize “us time.”
She said: “Frank and I always make time for each other, which feels really special.” We love dressing up, going somewhere nice and having a good laugh. “I still get excited about doing that.”
‘We’ll go out to eat something, but if it’s at night, we’ll come back at a decent time because we know we’ll be woken up at dawn by work or a small child.
Christine talked about how Frank still misses his mother Patricia, who died aged 58 in 2008, and who their daughter was named after (Frank pictured with his mother in 2008).
‘I’m as happy hanging out with Frank as hanging out with a group of girls. I like a sneaky lunch so I can come back early and avoid a hangover.
“If I knew I could stay in bed and sleep the next day after a night of partying, that’s fine, but I can’t.”
Christine also talked about how Frank still misses his mother Patricia, who died aged 58 in 2008, and who their daughter was named after.
She said: “There are still moments when losing his mother takes Frank’s breath away, and he can’t believe it’s been so long.”
He added: “I didn’t get to meet Frank’s mother, but there is a lovely photo of her in our house and, although the children are very young, they know exactly who she is.”
“It was a very emotional day when I asked Frank, ‘Why don’t we name our daughter Patricia?’ I think I was overwhelmed. I look at her now and it’s just Patricia.
