New Arrival: Steven Gerrard's Daughter Lilly-Ella Welcomes Baby Girl, Making Football Legend a Grandfather

Steven Gerrard, the esteemed former Liverpool and England captain, has become a grandfather for the first time at the age of 45, as his eldest daughter, Lilly-Ella Gerrard, 21, has welcomed her first child, a baby girl.

The influencer took to Instagram to share the joyous news, posting a heartfelt black and white image of her boyfriend, Lee Byrne, leaving the hospital with their newborn securely nestled in a car seat. Lilly-Ella captioned the tender photo simply, ‘@leebyrne8 2 becomes 3’, signifying their journey from a couple to a family of three.


Lilly-Ella first announced her pregnancy to her 222,000 Instagram followers in January, sharing a photo of a positive pregnancy test with the caption: "Our little secret. The best news... mini us is on the way". Her father, Steven, responded to the exciting news at the time, writing: "We can't wait. Congratulations and we love you".


The arrival marks a significant milestone for the Gerrard family. Steven, who is currently managing Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia, has four children with his wife Alex: Lilly-Ella, Lexie (19), Lourdes (14), and son Lio (8).

Lilly-Ella has been in a relationship with Lee Byrne since October 2022. Their romance initially made headlines when it first came to light due to Lee's familial connections. Lee is the son of Liam Byrne, an Irish gangster associated with the Kinahan Cartel. Liam Byrne was sentenced to five and a half years in prison for his involvement in a plot to stockpile machine guns. Ipswich Crown Court heard details of how Byrne and an associate planted automatic weapons in an attempt to aid his brother-in-law, who was hoping to reduce his sentence in a drug conspiracy case.

Following his father's sentencing, Lee Byrne publicly showed support, with Lilly-Ella also expressing her love for him. The couple's relationship has reportedly fostered a strong bond between the two families, with Lee said to refer to Steven's wife, Alex, as his "second mum."

It is important to note that there is no suggestion whatsoever that Lee Byrne or any member of the Gerrard family are involved in any criminal activity.
