Steven Gerrard becomes a grandfather at the age of 45

Liverpool and England legend Steven Gerrard has officially reached a new milestone in his life: becoming a grandfather.

At the age of 45, the famous former midfielder now has his first granddaughter, after his eldest daughter Lilly-Ella gave birth to a child with boyfriend Lee Byrne.

Lilly, 21, announced the good news on her personal page with a black and white photo capturing the moment her boyfriend carried the baby out of the hospital. The simple but emotional caption read: “@Leebyrne 2 becomes 3,” along with a pink heart and baby emoji.

In January, Lilly caused a stir online when she unexpectedly shared the news of her pregnancy with a picture of two pregnancy tests and a pair of tiny baby shoes, along with the caption: “Our secret. The best news. A mini version of us is coming.”

Just weeks after Lilly announced her pregnancy, Steven Gerrard stepped down as head coach of Al Ettifaq (Saudi Arabia) at the end of January. The departure was said to be by mutual consent, but the media believed that the decision was largely due to Gerrard's desire to be close to his daughter during this important period.

Since returning to England, Gerrard has spent most of his time with his family. On Lilly’s personal Instagram, fans can easily see simple but warm moments, including the image of the former Liverpool midfielder hugging his niece on the sofa - a new symbol, but very sacred for the former captain of “The Kop”.

Since returning to England, Gerrard has spent most of his time with his family.

Lilly-Ella started dating Lee Byrne around April 2022. The couple was once caught being affectionate during a trip to Ibiza and quickly attracted attention on social media.

Lee, who lives in the upscale residential area of Freshfield on the outskirts of Merseyside, met Lilly when he moved there. Since then, the relationship between the two families has grown closer, with Lee even referring to Lilly’s mother, former WAG Alex Curran, as her “second mother”.

Despite her young age, Lilly shows maturity and initiative in her journey to motherhood. She regularly posts pictures of her “future nest” with a stroller full of diapers, wipes and baby gear. One recent post was simply captioned: “Nesting mode activated.”

Born in February 2004, Lilly is the eldest daughter of Steven Gerrard and his famous wife Alex Curran. The couple currently have four children: Lilly, Lexie (19), Lourdes (13) and youngest son Lio (7).

After leaving the coaching bench, Steven Gerrard took on the role of commentator for TNT Sports. He was once rumored to be able to reunite with Rangers - where he left a strong mark as a coach.

However, with major changes in his personal life, perhaps Gerrard wants to temporarily step back from the pitch to focus on a new role: a loving and responsible grandfather.

From the proud captain on the pitch to the man quietly holding his little granddaughter in his arms - Steven Gerrard still makes fans admire him, this time not with his goals, but with his sincere and touching love for his family.
