Former Chelsea manager José Mourinho has always been a fan of Lampard and he was expected to make a £30million bid for him if he takes over at Real this summer.
But Lampard believes Christine’s TV career is going so well she won’t be prepared to follow him to Spain.A friend of Lampard’s said: “It’s no secret that Frank finds the prospect of a reunion with Mourinho at one of the world’s great clubs attractive.
“But he absolutely adores Christine and he is not prepared to do anything that would rock the boat.
“Her TV career is going brilliantly and Frank knows she wouldn’t leave the country right now so he’s decided to stay at Chelsea.”
Friends say that Lampard, also 31, is besotted with the Northern Irish beauty.
They have only been dating for seven months but Lampard believes he has a real future with her.
He finds it incredibly sexy that she is so ambitious and regards her as a real "breath of fresh air” after Elen Rives, the mother of his two children, who was said to be happy “just to be a WAG”.
A friend said: “Frank has been telling everyone he adores Christine. He is the most loved-up anyone has ever seen him.
“She is completely different to Elen and most of the other women he meets because she’s not interested in being a WAG.
“She is her own person, with her own views and he really respects that. Other than his kids she is definitely his No 1 priority.
“Part of that appeal is her dedication to her career at the BBC which is really flying.
“Frank is not about to put her in the position where she has to choose between him and her job. He thinks she’s got the full package – brains, beauty and sex appeal.
“That’s why he’s keen to keep her happy.”
Lampard has scored 25 goals for Chelsea this season and if they beat Wigan at home today he will collect his third Premier League championship medal.
