Christine: I won’t risk my relationship with Frank by having IVF treatment
CHRISTINE Lampard has told how she is constantly being asked when she and husband Frank will have a baby. But the Loose Women star insists she won’t have IVF as she fears the stress could put their relationship at risk. The 38-year-old, who married former Chelsea star Frank, 39, almost two years ago, said fertility treatment “isn’t something we’ve thought about”. She added: “I know friends who have torn themselves apart and jeopardised their relationship because going through IVF was so traumatic and I don’t know if I could do that to myself or Frank. “I’m not one of those women who was thinking about babies at 18, and when I first met Frank it wasn’t on the agenda. If it happens, it happens, but right now all is well as it is.” Speaking of the regular questions she faces about having a child, Christine told You magazine: “I think women are never allowed to feel that everything in their world is OK. “If they are not worried about something then they should be. I am always being asked when I am going to have a baby. Everyone seems to be fascinated by my body clock. “As far as I am concerned, my attitude is that I will wait and see what happens. I’m not pushing myself. I’m not getting stressed or unhappy. I’m a believer in what will be will be.” Christine is stepmum to Frank’s daughters Luna, 11, and 10-year-old Isla – a task she has taken to happily. The TV presenter added: “Being a stepmother wasn’t something I had ever envisioned. Disney has done a brilliant job of making out that all stepmothers are evil. But when you find yourself in that situation, you make the best of it.” Christine married midfield legend Frank, who retired from football this year, in December 2015.
