At the EFL Awards, where he was named Manager of the Year, Lampard, usually a private figure, opened up about the crucial role his wife plays in his life. “I am fortunate enough at this point to have a life balance, which is important for us, where I can go home to a wife who supports me and gives me everything I need,” he shared, his eyes clearly glistening with emotion. “She’s my best friend. I’m lucky, she has her own career, and I think she gets it.”

Christine, a well-known TV presenter on Loose Women and Lorraine, smiled proudly from the audience as Frank expressed his gratitude, highlighting how her support has been integral to his success as a manager in such an intense profession.

This poignant moment follows a monumental achievement for Lampard and his team, who secured promotion after a 1-1 draw against Blackburn on April 19, 2026. Despite the emotional celebrations on the field, Lampard reflected on the challenges the club had faced over the years and the joy of returning to the Premier League.

Lampard described the victory as “amazing,” praising the team’s resilience and hard work. “The fanbase, what they’ve gone through, the disappointments, the moments… It makes me emotional. They deserve every moment of celebrating,” he said.

In an interview with Sky Sports, Lampard spoke about how this achievement ranked among his proudest moments, even comparing it to winning Champions League titles with Chelsea. “Here we’re overachieving. Automatic promotion wasn’t in our plan,” he admitted, emphasizing the club’s unexpected rise from the Championship.
