And Christine responded with: "Well, the fact is that they're not into football whatsoever.
"Like a lot of footballing families would be like, 'Oh my gosh, he plays football!'
"My parents just don't have a clue! So it's actually quite refreshing because they will never talk football to him and he quite likes that.
"But I was always wanting to keep mum and dad happy and they always trusted me - I hope - to never really make a wrong decision."So I never brought anybody home that they'd disapprove of - because what would have been the point?"
Christine announced the birth of baby Patricia, who was named after Frank's mum, on Instagram last year.
She wrote alongside it: "Let us introduce you to our little girl. Patricia Charlotte Lampard! We're so in love."
