STEVEN Gerrard is set to become a grandad at the age of 44.
The football legend’s daughter, Lilly, has announced that she is pregnant with her first child.
Lilly, 20, shared the joyful news on her Instagram, posting a sweet snapshot of a pregnancy journal, two positive tests, scan images, and a pair of adorable baby shoes. She captioned it: “Our little secret, the best news, mini us is on the way.”
The father of the baby is Lee Byrne, whom Lilly has been dating since April 2022.
Steven quickly commented on Lilly’s post, saying, “We can’t wait,” and added, “Great news and congratulations, we love you.” Proud dad-of-four Stevie, now managing Saudi club Al-Ettifaq, expressed his excitement.
Lilly’s mother, Alex Gerrard, also chimed in with, “Can’t wait.”
The Sun on Sunday reported in 2022 that Lilly had started dating Lee around April of that year. They were first linked during a holiday in Ibiza, where they shared photos of themselves kissing.
Lee has since moved into a gated community in Freshfield, one of Merseyside’s more exclusive areas, which helped him get to know Lilly better. The Byrne and Gerrard families are said to have grown close during their relationship, with Lee referring to WAG Alex as his second mum.
Born in February 2004, Lilly frequently shares glimpses of her jet-setting lifestyle on social media. Steven and Alex also have two other daughters, Lexie, 18, and Lourdes, 13, along with a son named Lio, who is eight.
Steven will turn 45 by the time his grandchild arrives, though Lilly has not yet revealed the gender of her unborn child.
