Frank Lampard's massive net worth, chance meeting with wife Christine, London mansion

Frank Lampard is one of the most celebrated figures in British football.

He is renowned for his success-laden career with Chelsea, where he won numerous honours, including the Premier League and Champions League. Lampard also had an impressive run with England, netting 29 goals in 106 appearances.

His transition into management has seen him at Derby County, Chelsea (twice), Everton and now Coventry City. Unlike his international colleagues Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney, he remains in work.

He's amassed a considerable fortune, some of which has been spent on a luxurious home shared with his TV presenter wife Christine and their children. Here's a look at his wealth, life with Christine and how he's rejuvenated his managerial career...

What is Frank Lampard's net worth?

Celebrity Net Worth estimates Lampard's fortune to be around £75million. The site also suggests he earned an annual salary of £9.6million at Everton, although this hasn't been officially confirmed.

According to sports-focused website Total Sportal, Lampard's Everton contract was valued at £15million, inclusive of a signing bonus and various other incentives, many of which weren't triggered as the Toffees sacked him in January 2023. He briefly returned to Chelsea at the end of the 2022/23 season for a presumably well-paid but unsuccessful stint as interim manager.

When did Frank Lampard meet Christine?

Frank and Christine's romance could be described as destined, beginning at the Pride of Britain awards back in October 2009. It was a close call for Christine, then known by her maiden name Bleakley, who nearly missed the event due to her commitments hosting The One Show.

During an appearance on Loose Women, she recalled their first encounter: "I am very, very glad we met when we did, it was definitely about timing for us."

Frank, who admitted to being a fan of The One Show, impressed Christine with his attention to detail. She recalled: "Frank came over to me and said, 'I watch you on The One Show'. I said, 'No you don't! Who was my guest last night?'

"And he was able to tell me! I just laughed and we both giggled about it. Then that was it. He somehow got my number, and I had a withheld number call my phone on the way home. I picked up and it was him.

"I said 'Wow, you're keen!' as a bit of a joke and we chatted. He said he enjoyed meeting me and would like to stay in touch. It was very relaxed."

The couple wed in 2015, have two children Patricia and Freddie - the former named after Frank's late mother - in addition to his two daughters, Luna and Isla, from his previous relationship with Elen Rivas.

Where does Frank Lampard live?

Home life for the Lampards is set within a luxurious £10million London mansion, with Christine offering a sneak peek into their domestic bliss on an episode of Loose Women.

She admitted to having her own a peaceful refuge, a "she shed" in the garden. She explained: "It's tiny but I walked into it the other day and thought, 'this could be a good hiding place' – even just a little five minutes."

Instagram images show the home sporting a monochrome design with pristine white walls and a contemporary flair. The kitchen boasts glossy white cabinets extending from wall to ceiling with integrated appliances. It also features an extensive area for meal prep and includes a sizeable kitchen island.

Who does Frank Lampard manage?

With Lampard at the helm, Coventry's fortunes have taken a turn for the better. He succeeded Mark Robins, a club icon who guided the Sky Blues from League Two to the threshold of the Premier League – narrowly missing out in the 2023 play-off final – and led them to an FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United last season.

Lampard's familiarity with the Championship, courtesy of Derby's play-off final journey in 2019, has stood him in good stead. With this know-how, he has taken Coventry just a point and one place shy of the play-off spots ahead of this weekend's action.
