Steven Gerrard, the legendary Liverpool FC player, is now a grandfather. His eldest daughter, Lilly Gerrard, 21, and her partner, Lee Byrne, have announced the birth of their first child.
Lilly shared the exciting news with a heartwarming black-and-white photo on her Instagram Stories. The image showed her partner, Lee, gently holding a baby carrier, captioned simply with “@Leebyrne 2 becomes 3,” along with a pink heart and a baby emoji. This marks the happy conclusion of a journey Lilly has shared with her followers since announcing her pregnancy in January. At the time, she posted, “Our little secret. The best news, mini us is on the way.”
Throughout her pregnancy, Lilly, a Formby-based influencer, shared regular updates with her fans. She showcased her “nesting mode” by sharing a photo of a shopping cart full of baby essentials like diapers and wipes. The couple also celebrated their impending parenthood with special “mama” and “papa” mugs and a pregnancy journal to document every step.
The news was met with an outpouring of love, including a heartfelt message from her famous father. Steven Gerrard commented on her initial announcement, saying, “We can’t wait. Great news and congratulations we love you.” Known for sharing glimpses of his family life on social media, Gerrard has always been open about his love for his children. The entire family is thrilled, with Lilly’s mother, Alex, and sister, Lexie, 18, also expressing their excitement. Lexie shared her joy, writing, “Can’t wait to be a auntie.”
Lilly and Lee have been in a relationship since October 2022. The new baby joins a close-knit family, as Steven and Alex have been married since 2007 and are proud parents to four children: Lilly, 21, Lexie, 18, Lourdes, 13, and Lio, 7.
