Lampard buys ex a house
FRANK Lampard has bought his former fiancée Elen Rives a £3million home, the News of the World can reveal.
The Premier League ace was finalising the deal on the four-bed house in an exclusive part of Chelsea as he went on the radio on Friday to hit back at claims he was a bad parent.
Dad-of-two Lamps, 30, had a ferocious 10-minute row with LBC's James O'Brien for calling him "scum" over his break-up with Elen in February.
Elen, 34, has been living in a flat with children Luna, two, and Isla, one, while Lampard remained in the £8.5million family home.
But a close friend of the star said: "Elen chose the new house herself, Frank paid for it. She is having it done in her taste from top to bottom, all paid for by Frank.
"Elen has been staying in a beautiful flat in Chelsea since the split, again chosen by herself. Frank is paying the rent. The suggestion he has short-changed Elen or left his kids in the lurch is laughable."
Lampard, one of the best paid Prem stars on £140,000 a week, told O'Brien: "Every penny I earn, every yard I run on the football pitch is for my kids. I'm buying them a house which is of equal living standard, if not more, to mine."
Elen reportedly said she was upset about Lampard flaunting a new girlfriend in public, saying: "He is so heartless. He's moved on and is seeing other girls."
Lampard insists that he and Saskia Boxford, 23, are just friends.

Elen is jealous because the new girlfriend is 23 and she's 34. Leave the man alone!!

the bottom line is that Frank Lampard can do what he wants, he is now a single guy and he can chose to go out with anyone. This lady has obviously been lying that Frank is not taking care of her and the kids. The truth is Frank is taking care of the kids.
The problem with this world is that when people break up, the man is always blamed. the woman know that and they take advantage of that. I dont feel sorry for Ellen, she should leave Frank alone and get on with her life. She is the one who ended the relationship so she has to take the consequences on the chin.

sounds to me she doesn't want him but doesn't want anyone else to have him. As long as he looks after his kids, he should go out and enjoy himself, after all she left him!
