London, July 25 (ANI): Irish TV presenter Christine Bleakley has apparently been banned from seeing boyfriend Frank Lampard’s children by his ex.

Bleakley and Lampard are seeing each other since a year but the former One Show host has never met Lampard’s daughters Luna, 4, and three-year-old Isla.

Lampard’s ex Elen Rives said that she was not happy with Bleakley coming to see his children.

Christine and Elen have never met face-to-face and the relation between the two has further changed drastically after Elen asked her to stay away from Lampard’s kids.

“Christine is a massive part of Frank’s life and she wants to be with him all the time. But her involvement is limited as Elen has made it clear she doesn’t want her to meet the kids,” The Mirror quoted a source close to Christine as saying.

“She loves Frank and is keen for the relationship to move up a gear, so she’s trying not to rock the boat. But she is well aware that Elen isn’t exactly her number one fan.

“Christine knows Frank’s relationship with Elen was fiery so she’s determined to be the opposite of that. Frank’s also keen not to upset Elen. After all, she’s the mother of his children,” the source added.

Elen’s friend said: “It has been very hard for Elen. But the girls are her priority. She still wants them to see their mummy and daddy together so that’s why she wants to keep Christine out of the family unit for now. (ANI)
