Steven Gerrard has shared an exciting family update. The former Liverpool captain often takes to social media to keep fans updated with his personal and professional life.
In his latest update, Gerrard has reposted an Instagram story from wife Alex. The picture shows son Lio on the way to his first football tournament. She captioned the image “Off on his first footy tournament @StevenGerrard” with a football and plane emoji.
Gerrard announced his family was complete after he announced Lio’s birth in 2017. He said: “Lio George Gerrard was born this morning at 4.55am . Both are doing great. Our family is complete.”
Last year, footage of Lio playing football emerged online and went viral. A video shared on Instagram showed him flicking the ball into the air and executing a stunning bicycle kick to score a goal. The brief glimpse into his footballing skills suggests he could one day follow in his dad’s footsteps.
This isn’t the first special family update that the Gerrard family have shared recently. Earlier this month, The Liverpool FC icon responded to a heartfelt announcement from his daughter, Lilly Gerrard, as she confirmed she is expecting her first child.
The 20-year-old took to Instagram as she said: “Our little secret. The best news, mini us is on the way @leebyrne8.” Gerrard was delighted as he is set to become a grandad when he turns 45 later this year.
He took to the comments and said: “We cant wait. Great news and congratulations. We love you.” Lilly is Gerrard’s oldest daughter as he shares three other children with his wife, Alex Gerrard.
Steven and Alex Gerrard are proud parents of four children, Lily 20, Lexie 18, Lourdes 13 and Lio 7. The Gerrard family has relocated to the Middle East where Steven manages Saudi Arabian team, Al Ettifaq. However, the family do not reside in Saudi Arabia as they have chosen to live in nearby Bahrain.
