In 2015, a friend told the Sunday People: “Their relationship has gone from strength-to-strength and they go away a lot on holidays to spend time together.
“They have normal life way from football which probably helps keep him grounded.”
Barkley has become a key part of the Chelsea side during Frank Lampard’s debut season, particularly since the restart.
Having watched plenty of his manager on TV growing up, Barkley has tried to model his own game on Lampard.
“For me as a young player you look up to the likes of the gaffer for what he achieved,” he told talkSPORT.
“Watching Match of the Day as a kid you were constantly seeing the gaffer score plenty of goals.
“Being a midfielder myself you modelled your game on the likes of the gaffer, Paul Scholes and Steven Gerrard – the England and Premier League legends.”
On Lampard, he added: “The gaffer has a good relationship with all the players, including myself.
“He encourages us to play our game and in training he encourages us to get in the box as a midfield player, like myself, Ruben [Loftus-Cheek], Mason [Mount] to try and create goals and help out the team defensively as well.”
