Christine Lampard has shared a rare look into her home life with Coventry City manager Frank Lampard, as the footballing legend celebrates his 47th birthday today.
Christine Lampard, star of Loose Women, has spoken up about her marriage to Coventry City manager Frank Lampard, admitting that he has a humorous nickname for one of his body parts. The couple married the former England legend – who turns 47 today — in 2015 and have two children, Patricia and Freddie, together.
Christine joined Coleen on the Loose Women podcast to discuss their varied parenting techniques, as well as Christine’s experience raising her two children with Frank.
When Coleen asked the 46-year-old if they use “nicknames” for their “private parts” around their children, Christine joked that Frank has opted to call his “dinkle.”
She described how it came in handy during potty training their youngest, saying, “So Frank, when he was potty training Freddie, that was the language. So, Frank will say, “Your dinkle does this.” “You must wash your dinkle.”
Before marrying Christine nearly a decade ago, Frank had already begun a family with his ex, Spanish model Elen Rivas. Despite having two daughters together, the couple discontinued their romance and called off their engagement in 2008.
Christine told Coleen about her relationship with Frank’s two eldest children, Luna and Isla.
Christine discussed her and Frank’s approach to dealing with sensitive topics with his teenage daughters, saying they try to approach things with a touch of humour: “But we also approached it all with a slight sense of humour — and obviously, I don’t mean we were always joking about everything; sometimes that wasn’t appropriate.”
Away from his family life, Frank has built a highly successful career over the years. He began his career with West Ham before moving to Chelsea, where he is largely regarded as one of the club’s finest players.
After finishing his Chelsea career with three league titles and a Champions League triumph, he went on to make an incredible 106 appearances for England.
After retiring from football in 2016, Frank pursued a managerial career, working at Derby County, Chelsea, and Everton before joining the Sky Blues.
When he took over, the team was in 17th position, but he quickly turned things around, securing a play-off spot at the end of the season. However, they were defeated by Sunderland in the semi-finals, putting their ambitions of returning to the Premier League on wait for at least one year.
