Lilly Gerrard was delighted as she shared her partner’s loving gesture on Valentine’s Day. The daughter of Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard grew up on Merseyside but spends much of her time away from the UK.
She shares regular snaps from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, which is around an hour and half by plane to Dammam in Saudi Arabia, the location of Al-Ettifaq FC which her dad managed until recently.
Lilly and her partner Lee Byrne have been dating for several years. Lilly has also built up a substantial following on Instagram and TikTok. She posts a range of content from lip sync videos to short ‘day in the life’ videos showing her days in Dubai which involve going to the gym and eating with Lee.
In her most recent Instagram story, Lilly revealed that Lee had gone all out for Valentine’s Day. Lee placed dozens of red balloons in what looked like a hotel room.
The helium balloons had floated to the ceiling, which delighted Lilly. She captioned the post: “Luckiest.” She also shared a large red bouquet of flowers on her table and added three red love heart emojis.
She then posted a collage of her and Lee together and said: “Happy Valentine’s to my favourite person in the world, I love you.” She added two love heart emojis. On his Instagram story, Lee shared a black and white photo of the couple together and added: “Happy Valentine’s my world, love you always.”
The couple are expecting their first child together. Lilly announced the news last month when she shared pictures on the baby scan on her Instagram page, adding: “Our little secret. The best news, mini us is on the way.”
Mia Carragher, daughter of Jamie Carragher who was her dad’s Liverpool teammate for many years, said: “Omg congrats.” Meanwhile Scouse model Saffie Khan, who is the partner of Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones, said: “Congratulations.”
Lilly returned to Liverpool last summer as she enjoyed one of Taylor Swift’s gigs at Anfield in June. A video on her TikTok the month after shows Lily dancing in the stands with her friends along with her parents.
Lilly captioned the post: “Still one of my favourite nights ever!” She also posted a picture of her and Lee at the gig on Instagram, adding: “Taylor time. Best time with the best people.”
