Steven Gerrard is now a grandad as the Liverpool legend’s daughter gave birth to her first child this week.
The former England captain is one of his boyhood club’s most successful ever players, captaining them to their famous Champions League 2005 win.
Known for his goalscoring ability, Steven, who played over 500 times for Liverpool, retired in 2016 following a year-long spell with LA Galaxy in the United States.
It’s been a frantic period for the 45-year-old, who resigned from his job as the manager of Saudi Pro League side Al Ettifaq after two years in charge.
Away from the football pitch, Steven has been married to Alex Curran since 2007, with Manchester United icons Gary Neville, and Michael Carrick among those in attendance at the Berkshire wedding.
Having met back in 2002, they are parents to four children; Lily-Ella, 21, Lexie, 18, Lourdes, 13 and their only son Lio 7.
Moving back to the UK from Saudi Arabia earlier in the year, Steven’s eldest child Lily-Ella has welcomed her first child into the world just months after turning 21.

Announcing the news on Instagram, where she has over 220,000 followers, Lily-Ella revealed that she and her boyfriend Lee Byrne are now parents.
Sharing a black and white photo on her story of Lee walking out of the hospital, holding a bassinet, Lily-Ella was delighted to share the good news.
“@Leebyrne 2 becomes 3″, she captioned her heartwarming post alongside a pink heart and a baby emoji.

“Our little secret, the best news, mini us is on the way,” she wrote.
Leading the praise to the couple was Steven, who wrote in the comments section: “We can’t wait. Great news and congratulations we love you.”
Dating for over two years, Lilly-Ella and Lee confirmed their relationship through a series of photos from their holiday in Ibiza.
Providing updates on her pregnancy journey in recent months, Lilly-Ella said she was in ‘nesting mode’ with a photo of her trolley filled with items such as nappies, lotions and baby wipes.
