Ruth Langsford was not impressed over Eamonn Holmes' choice of first name for their son after his football icon, which she critically branded "pathetic".
The couple began dating in 1996 and welcomed their son six years later in 2002, waiting another eight years until they wed in 2010.
But the pair were not in sync when it came to naming their son, with Eamonn desperate to pay tribute to his beloved Manchester United through the name.
Ruth wasn't having it, though, and the pair ended up calling their only child Jack.
Addressing their colleague Dr Zoe Williams' choice to name her son Lisbon Lion, Ruth said that it was because she had met her partner Stuart McKay in Lisbon.
Eamonn had asked: "Is he a Celtic supporter?"
"I have no idea, darling," Ruth responded.
He insisted: "Now you're looking at me [like that] but the child's called Lisbon Lion - Celtic won the European cup in Portugal in Lisbon in 1967."
"I'm just saying that I don't know," Ruth pointed out.
Eamonn continued: "They were known as the Lisbon Lions."
"Well, OK, if that's your theory..." Ruth said in exasperation.
He pointed out: "You stopped me calling our child Alex."
"After Alex Ferguson," Ruth explained.
Eamonn retorted: "And you said it was sad and pathetic."

Ruth replied proudly: "I did!"
"And you called him Jack instead," Eamonn said.
She added: "A good, solid Jack."
Eamonn insisted "Well she called her child after a football team!"
Ruth waved away Eamonn's comment, saying that they would ask Dr Zoe about whether her son was called after the 'Lisbon Lions'.
