Lilly Gerrard is preparing to welcome her first child after announcing the news last month. The daughter of Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard regularly keeps fans updated with her personal life on social media.
As the 21-year-old prepares to become a mum she has received an abundance of love and support already. Taking to Instagram, Lilly posted a picture of two pouches, completed with a silky material. 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.”
Other personal gifts she has received includes a matching ‘mama’ and ‘papa’ mug set. Lilly and her partner Lee Byrne have been dating for several years. Lilly announced the news in January when she shared pictures of the baby scan on her social media pages, writing “Our little secret.”
Earlier this month, 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. 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.”
Over the weekend Lilly celebrated a special occasion as she turned 21. Gerrard posted two pictures to his Instagram account. He captioned the post: “Happy 21st birthday Lilly I hope you have a special day we are so proud of you.” Lilly replied: “Love you dad” alongside three heart emojis. Other footballing legends were among the commenters, including fellow Red Jamie Carragher who wrote “HBD Lily” and Robbie Keane who wrote “Happy Birthday”.
Lilly also took to her own Instagram to upload photos from her birthday weekend. Sharing a photo of a stunning bouquet of flowers and a cake with “Happy 21st birthday Lilly” written on, she said “Gorgeous birthday weekend with the girls.”
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.
