Moving on: Lampard follows WAG Elen's orders to quit London



Down in the dumps: Lampard looks less than happy at the prospect of a move to the country


It appears footballer Frank Lampard has fallen in line with his fiancee Elen Rives' demands that his leave behind his party lifestyle following claims of his alleged cheating.

Removal men were seen carting boxes of children's toys out of the million pound Fulham home shared by the footballer, his Spanish fiance and their two children, Luna, 2, and Isla.

Miss Rives 29, is reported to have agreed to given the Chelsea player, also 29, another chance - on the condition that he relocated to their £4million £4million country pile in Esher, Surrey and left his London party lifestyle behind.

A grim-faced Lampard was seen out on the town last night, and it appears judging from the look on his face as he left restaurant Zuma, he may have agreed to leave his beloved London somewhat reluctantly.

Frank's agent recently confirmed: "They will both be moving into the Esher house soon."

In spite of the move, the couple will hang onto their Fulham pad for the time being.

Elen recently gave birth to their second daughter Isla in May, and the couple are set to marry this year, but they have yet to name a date.

A source said: "Elen wants Frank well away from the party scene in the city. There are too many women in nightclubs throwing themselves at the footballer and Elen doesn't want this anymore.

The source added: "She's told Frank she'll put the Vegas incident behind her if they can move to the country and lead a quieter family life. She thought if Frank agrees to leave his pals and teammates behind then it proves he's serious about making the relationship work."

In his book, Totally Frank, he calls west London his "home" and says it's where he feels most happy and content, despite being an Essex boy.

However, it seems Elen has done the opposite of WAGs blasted by football boss Roy Keane who want to move to the capital in order to shop, instead choosing to move out to the country to keep her man.

Frank has always maintained he won't move from the big city - but it seems in this instance, what Elen says goes.
