Christine Lampard said she wishes she had started having children earlier and would have liked to have more. She made the remark on the Sort Your Life Out Unpacked podcast with Dilly Carter, reflecting on a family decision she reached after years of being content without children.
She said, "We’ve been together 18 years, and went through years of just having a really nice life" and added, "It was just us, we were happy doing our own thing, and then Frank said, 'We really should think about this [having children] because I know you're going to love it.'" Lampard now has Patricia and Freddie with Frank Lampard, and said of motherhood: "It feels like a complete blessing and that's the truth - I really love it."
Christine Lampard and Frank Lampard
Lampard said she was happy being step-mother to Luna and Isla before the couple decided to start a family of their own. That account places her later regret beside an earlier period when she was content with the life she and Frank Lampard had already built.
She said that when she thought about having children, her reaction was "maybe I would". The way she described it leaves the main shift in perspective clear: she moved from being settled without children to wishing the family had begun sooner.
Patricia and Freddie
Patricia is 7 years old and Freddie is 5 years old, which means Christine Lampard's comment comes after both children were already part of the family story she was describing. Her reflection is not about changing a present plan; it is about looking back at timing after becoming a mother.
For readers, the practical point is simple: Lampard is not describing a new decision or a change in family plans. She is revisiting how the couple arrived at parenthood, and saying the later arrival of Patricia and Freddie made her think she would have wanted a bigger family than the one time allowed her.
