Steven Gerrard has issued a heartfelt tribute as he celebrated a special occasion. The Liverpool FC legend regularly shares updates from his happy family life on Instagram.
The 44-year-old has taken to the social media platform today to reveal it is his mum’s birthday. The former Reds captain shared a snap with his mum, Julie, with his 11.6m Instagram followers.
He shared a photo of the two together enjoying the sunshine, alongside the caption: “Happy birthday mum. Have a lovely day. I love you so much.”
The iconic former midfielder is the proud dad of four children, who he shares with his wife, Alex Gerrard. The former Al-Ettifaq manager travelled to Wembley yesterday with his son, Lio, to watch Liverpool take on Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final.

2025 is set to be a big year for the Gerrard family as he revealed he will become a grandad for the first time. He was thrilled when his eldest daughter, Lilly Gerrard, revealed she is expecting her first child.
