Christine Lampard welcomes second child with husband Frank: ‘We are completely in love’
Christine Lampard has welcomed her second child with husband Frank Lampard and shared a gorgeous first picture on social media.
The couple have expanded their family after daughter Patricia, two, and are now parents to son Freddie George.
Announcing the new arrival on Instagram, the presenter said: ‘Let us introduce you to our newest addition. ..Frederick (Freddie) George Lampard! We are completely in love.’
The mum-of-two looked relaxed and happy in the photo she posted from her hospital bed, with her new baby nestled in her arms.
The Loose Women star, who announced she was pregnant in January, said it was ‘a strange time’ to be expecting a baby.
‘A new year and a new baby on the way for the Lampards!’ the 41-year-old said.
‘It’s been a strange and worrying time to be pregnant but we’re hoping and praying that cuddles from family and friends are not too far off.
‘Sending all my love to everyone going through pregnancy during this crazy time.’
Former Chelsea manager Frank is also dad to Luna, 14, and Isla, 13, with ex Elen Rivas.
The couple have been married since 2015 after six years together, and they welcomed their first child in 2018.
Christine and Frank named their daughter Patricia Charlotte in memory of Frank’s mum who had died in 2008.
Christine previously opened up on the ‘lonely’ experience of going to hospital appointments by herself during the pandemic.
‘I’m sort of thinking ahead to April,’ she said about the birth.
‘Ideally I would want Frank alongside me. I don’t want to do it on my own.’
‘It’s a little bit of happiness within our family, that’s for sure. In amongst the bleakness of the past year,’ she added.
‘I’ve got two very excited parents back in Northern Ireland who cannot wait.’
