Lilly Gerrard confirmed her and partner Liam Byrne are expecting their first child together. The daughter of Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard regularly shares updates from her life on her Instagram page and took to the social media platform to share a snap of the baby scan. She said: “Our little secret. The best news, mini us is on the way.”
Mia Carragher, daughter of Jamie Carragher who was her dad’s Liverpool teammate for many years, said: “Omg congrats.” Meanwhile Scouse model Saffie Khan, who is the partner of Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones, said: “Congratulations.”
The 20-year-old spends a lot of her time in the Middle East and Spain but returned to Merseyside for one of her “favourite nights” last summer. It seems that Lilly has other strong friendships connected to the world of football.
Though she grew up on Merseyside, Lilly spends much of her time away from the UK. She shares regular snaps from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, which is around an hour and half by plane to Dammam in Saudi Arabia, the location of Al-Ettifaq FC which her dad manages.
One place she has visited is Barfly by Buddha-Bar Dubai, a Sushi rooftop restaurant and bar located on Palm West Beach. It’s part of the Hilton Dubai Palm Jumeirah hotel and its website says its “quickly becoming one of the best rooftop restaurants in Dubai, offering guests an unforgettable dining experience”.
Lilly is also a frequent visitor to Sushisamba, a restaurant found in Bahrain at the top of the prestigious Conrad Hotel. It offers a mix of Japanese, Brazilian, and Peruvian cuisine, with a terrace and pool overlooking the Manama seafront and Bahrain Bay. The 20 year-old is also a frequent visitor to Ibiza too, posting several pictures of her trips to the Spanish island.
Lilly has also built up a substantial following on TikTok. She posts a range of content from lip sync videos to short ‘day in the life’ videos showing her days in Dubai which involve going to the gym and eating with boyfriend Lee.

Lilly did return to Liverpool last summer though as she enjoyed one of Taylor Swift’s gigs at Anfield in June. A video on her TikTok the month after shows Lily dancing in the stands with her friends along with her parents.
Lilly captioned the post: “Still one of my favourite nights ever!” She also posted a picture of her and Lee at the gig on Instagram, adding: “Taylor time. Best time with the best people.”
