Delighted: Before the close of November, Christine and Frank celebrated their daughter Patricia’s second birthday at home with a Peppa Pig themed party.
The announcer previously told Lorraine: ‘It’s strange, because it was ten years ago that we met in them, it was one of those nights that neither of us was supposed to go.
‘It was a last minute thing for him and I was late to the awards for work. We were sitting at tables next to each other. ”
The TV personality went on to talk about Frank’s abilities as a father to Patricia, and she praised, ‘It’s really cool, it has to be directed a bit, I guess, but it’s great. He’s so brilliant with her. ‘
In 2015, Christine spoke candidly about being a stepmother to Isla y Luna and said that while it was a difficult role to take on, she was willing to dispel old notions of the ‘evil stepmother’.
Speaking to The Times, she explained that bonding with her children had been a careful ‘well thought process’, as she put it:’ I would like to think, if you ask girls ten years from now, they would say it was a process well thought; I didn’t know them for a year, by the way. ‘
Family: Chelsea manager Frank is also the father of his daughters Luna, 14, and Isla, 13, with ex-fiancee Elen Rivas (pictured with Christine).
Wanting to be careful about interrupting their lives, Christine added that she and Frank waited until they were sure of their long-term feelings for each other, before introducing her into Isla and Luna’s lives.
On how she spent time with them during this period, Christine continued: ‘Frank is away a lot, his mom could be away, I have them on my own.
“ It’s me going to violin recitals, doing their homework, doing bath time tonight and taking them to school in the morning; I’ve become that and we have our own little system.
They know that I am their little companion. I don’t want to be his mom. That was never even a thought.
Family: In 2015, Christine spoke candidly about being a stepmom to Isla and Luna, saying that while it was a difficult role to take on, she was willing to dispel old notions of the ‘evil stepmother’.
Christine has also previously said that being a stepmother to her husband’s children helped her prepare for motherhood.
She told Lorraine in July 2018: ‘I’ve had the girls since they were four and two and they are 13 and 11, so I’ve been through all the childhood years, the elementary and middle school part And the teens are right around the corner, that is. preparation, although the baby years are new to me!
‘So I’m really going to take it day by day, like any other new mom. People tell me, and I’d like to think I’m like that anyway, but do your best to relax and don’t push yourself too hard. ‘
‘Don’t always look at others and think,’ It works perfectly for them, why isn’t it for me? ‘ Take a break. I’ll take it hour after hour!
