She also shared picture of her pet dogs, writing: “My little babies. Miss you all.” Lilly announced in January she was expecting a child, as she shared pictures of a baby scan on her Instagram, adding: “Our little secret. The best news, mini us is on the way.” She was supported by both parents as Gerrard said: “We cant wait great news and congratulations we love you. The best news, mini us is on the way.”
She was supported by both parents as Gerrard said: “We cant wait great news and congratulations we love you.” Alex Gerrard was also among the well-wishers. She responded “can’t wait” alongside four red love hearts. And Lilly’s siblings Lourdes and Lexie sent their own messages of support. Lexie replied: “Can’t wait to be a auntie” and Lourdes added “SO EXCITEDDDD”.
Steven and Alex are proud parents of four children, Lily 21, Lexie 18, Lourdes 13 and Lio 7. Gerrard also shared a message for his own mum, Julie Ann. A picture of the two was uploaded to the former Liverpool captain’s Instagram, with the comment “Happy Mother’s Day.”
The Gerrard family have spent a lot of time away from the UK in the last couple of years, with snaps often taken in Dubai and Saudi Arabia, the location of Al-Ettifaq FC which her dad managed until January of this year. Lilly returned to Merseyside this week. She went to Formby, where she grew up, for a pilates class.
Lilly has been preparing for motherhood and has shared a number of insights with followers. After the pregnancy announcement she posted a picture of two mugs with ‘papa’ and ‘mama’ written on them. Two laughing emojis were used to caption the photo.
Other accessories the mum-to-be has received includes two pouches. One of the items had ‘baby’ written on and the other with ‘mama’. In response to the gifts, Lilly wrote: “Thank you @patchandpouch these are gorgeous.”
The Gerrard family have recently faced a major change, in January the former Liverpool captain left his role as manager of Al-Ettifaq by mutual consent after 18-months in charge. He joined the Saudi Arabian club in July 2023. Gerrard’s children have spent a lot of time between the middle-East and the UK.
