Christine Lampard has said that she is always asked when she is going to have a baby.
The 38-year-old made the confession during an appearance on ITV's Loose Women when she and the other panellists were discussing whether mothers and women who don't have children can actually be friends.
Addressing the issue, Lampard said: "It's one of those things that I understand. I've got lots of friends who still don't have any children and lots of friends who do.
"My two best friends have children and we have a very honest relationship, so they will be the first to say, 'Oh gosh, it was really tough today, I'm knackered', or 'this has happened' or 'that has happened' and I'm always their light relief.
"So, when we get together it's like, 'This is the naughty night now, the children are left at home'."
She continued: "We have this perfect balance between me not having children and them having children, so I don't believe this [question] is necessarily the case.
"If you want to be friends with someone, I don't care what their family set-up is, you can make it work. You've got to be giving.
"If a mum can't make it because the little one is sick or there's a school thing, as a friend with no children I totally respect that, so I don't quite get that argument."
The television presenter was then asked about her own experiences, with panellist Lisa Riley asking if she had ever felt "slightly patronised", asking "have they ever done the titled head before like, 'Are you alright with this (not having children)?'"
She agreed, saying: "I have had that lots, but then they're not my mates. My good mates would never in a million years say that to me.
"You get it definitely from others and it doesn't always mean that they mean it in a bad way, to be fair.
"It's because they are very happy with their lot and they sort of assume 'Well you must not be because your life isn't the same as mine'.
"It's not always a badness thing, but I do get it and sometimes I say 'No, honestly I'm okay'."
Lampard has previously admitted she felt under pressure to have children. She started dating former footballer Frank Lampard in October 2009 and the couple married in December 2015. Christine is stepmother to Frank's two daughters from his previous relationship with Elen Rivas.
