Lilly Gerrard announced her pregnancy yesterday in an Instagram post. The daughter of Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard posted a photo of two baby scans, two positive pregnancy tests, a pair of baby shoes and a pregnancy journal.
The 20-year-old captioned the post: “Our little secret, the best news, mini us is on the way @leebyrne8”. She was supported by both parents, Steven and Alex Gerrard. The legendary midfielder commented: “We cant wait great news and congratulations we love you.”
Alex Gerrard was also among the well-wishers. She responded “Can’t wait” alongside four red love hearts. And Lilly’s siblings Lourdes and Lexie sent their own messages of support. Lexie replied “Can’t wait to be a auntie” and Lourdes added “SO EXITEDDDD”.
Lilly has since shared a picture to her Instagram story of two mugs with ‘papa’ and ‘mama’ written on them. Two laughing emojis were used to caption the photo.

Due to Gerrard’s role as manager of Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia, the family are currently based in Bahrain where they are said to live in a luxury village. Their home, which costs about £10,000 per month, boasts a swimming pool and games room, and is situated near members of the Bahraini Royal family.
The Red regularly shares updates from his happy family life on social media and took to social media last February to mark Lilly’s birthday. He said: “Happy birthday @lilly.gerrardd I hope your day is special like you are to me. 20!.”
Ex-Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard signed a two-year contract extension with Saudi Pro League side Al-Ettifaq, keeping him at the club until 2027. Gerrard’s current season has been a struggle, sparking rumours about his future in the Middle East.
