Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard shares family news as his youngest son, Lio, embarks on his first football tournament. The announcement comes amidst other exciting family developments, including the upcoming arrival of Lilly-Ella's first child with her boyfriend, Lee Byrne.
Steven Gerrard recently shared exciting family news with his fans, revealing that his son Lio is participating in his first football tournament. This announcement comes just weeks after the news that his daughter Lilly-Ella is expecting her first child.
Gerrard, known for his frequent updates about his family life on social media, shared a post from his wife Alex's Instagram story featuring a picture of Lio, ready for the tournament, with the caption 'off on his first footy tournament' accompanied by a football and plane emoji. Back in 2017, Gerrard joyfully announced Lio's birth on Instagram, expressing his happiness with the caption: 'Lio George Gerrard was born this morning at 4.55am. Both are doing great. Our family is complete.' Last year, a video of 7-year-old Lio showcasing his impressive football skills went viral, suggesting he might follow in his father's footsteps. The Gerrard family has been sharing numerous significant milestones. Earlier this month, Steven expressed his delight on Instagram when Lilly-Ella announced that she and her boyfriend, Lee Byrne, are expecting their first child. Lilly-Ella shared a picture with the caption: 'Our little secret. The best news, mini us is on the way.' A thrilled Gerrard commented on the post: 'We can't wait. Great news and congratulations. We love you.' Lilly-Ella, the eldest daughter of football legend Steven Gerrard, has been dating Lee since October 2022. Lee has previously spoken about his admiration for Lilly-Ella, stating that she is 'the best person he's ever met'. Lee comes from a well-known family; he is the son of Liam Byrne, a Dubliner who was arrested in Spain in 2023 and sentenced to five years imprisonment in October 2024 on weapons charges. Steven Gerrard and his wife, Alex Gerrard, are also proud parents to Lexie (18), Lourdes (13), and Lio. The family made a significant decision when Gerrard took the helm as manager of Saudi Arabian football club Al Ettifaq, choosing to remain in Bahrain instead of settling in Saudi Arabia. At 44, Gerrard is determined to revitalize his managerial career, especially with the upcoming arrival of his grandchild. However, he faces pressure due to Al Ettifaq's underwhelming performance this season, currently sitting 11th in the league with only five wins from 16 games. The club has recently undergone changes with the departures of Dean Holden and Mark Allen, and the arrival of Michael Beale as assistant manager. Gerrard commented on these changes, stating: 'The club made decisions regarding the departure of Mark Allen and Dean Holden. The decision was also made to bring Michael Beale in, who is a super coach. We spent years together previously, and it's great to have him back with me. Now we need some time to develop and improve.'
