Steven Gerrard’s daughter Lilly, 21, enjoys date night with son of jailed Irish gangster at Drake concert – three weeks after welcoming their first child

by

On Monday evening, Steven Gerrard’s daughter, Lilly-Ella, went out on a date with her boyfriend, Lee Byrne, and they both attended Drake’s concert at the Co-op Live arena in Manchester.

Without a doubt, the couple has had an exhausting period, having just welcomed their first joint offspring three weeks prior. They seemed cheerful and upbeat while spending quality moments together at the event.

21-year-old Lilly radiated charm in a sleek black fitted blouse matched with high-waisted denim pants and white sneakers, while posing affectionately next to Lee, the child of an imprisoned Irish mobster, in a recent photo she posted.

Later on, their friends also showed up, and Lily posted a sequence of pictures showing the fun they had together at the event.

Sharing a snap to Instagram on Tuesday, Lilly penned: ‘Mum and dad are out ❤️’.

As the elder sibling of a renowned former English footballer, I’m thrilled to share that I recently expanded my family with the arrival of a beautiful baby girl, whom we’ve lovingly named Lila Grey.

45-year-old ex-England footballer Steven recently became a grandpa for the first time, as his daughter Lila Grey was born earlier this month.

Previously, the midfielder has four kids with his spouse Alex: three daughters, Lilly, Lexie, who is 19 years old, and Lourdes, aged 14, as well as their son, Lio, who is eight years old.

Since last October, Lilly has been involved with Lee in a romantic relationship, causing a stir when news of it initially broke.

Earlier this month, Lilly publicly announced the name of her newborn daughter. On her Instagram story, she posted a heartwarming photo of herself gently holding her little one’s hand, expressing affection in a moving tribute.

She wrote: ‘So lucky to be your mum My beautiful baby girl, Lila Grey. Perfection.’

Additionally, she shared a picture on her feed showcasing a delightful homecoming celebration prepared for her and her newly born daughter, which they found upon returning home from the hospital.

At her baby’s arrival, there was a warm welcome decorated in pink, filled with balloons, candles, and a cuddly teddy bear. A sign read “Welcome to the World, Baby.

Lilly captioned the post: ‘Welcome home Lila Grey. I love you so much #babybubble.’

Steven, a previous Liverpool standout and now her father, hasn’t spoken up since he became a grandparent for the first time.

Yet, Lilly posted a photo showing the former England soccer player looking affectionately at his new grandchild, accompanied by the caption: “Angel has arrived.

In January, Lilly revealed she was expecting, posting a picture of her positive pregnancy test and informing her 222,000 Instagram fans: “We have a little surprise in store. Guess what? A smaller version of us will soon be joining us!

Responding to his daughter’s post, Gerrard wrote: ‘We can’t wait. Congratulations and we love you.’

As a lifestyle expert, I’d like to share an interesting piece of information: In 2022, I found myself connected with someone whose father, Liam Byrne from the Kinahan Cartel, was sentenced to five and a half years in prison for a plan involving amassing an arsenal of machine guns.

At Ipswich Crown Court, it was testified that Byrne and his associate, Shaun Kent, attempted to deceive authorities by hiding a cache of automatic firearms, with the intention of tricking them on behalf of Kavanagh.

Kavanagh, who is the brother-in-law of Byrne, aimed to guide the National Crime Agency (Britain’s equivalent of the FBI) towards finding illegal firearms, as a means to potentially shorten a prison term related to a drug conspiracy conviction.

The substantial shipment, brought over from Holland, contained the Skorpion – a kind of automatic firearm that was used in the fatal shooting of Ashley Dale and Ellie Edwards in Merseyside.

In January, it was exclusively reported by the Daily Mail that Byrne had been freed from prison just three months after being given a five-year sentence.

According to reports, he was released on an electronic monitor, which was a component of the contentious Early Release Program initiated by the Prime Minister aimed at alleviating prison overpopulation.

Prior to his sentencing in October, Byrne had spent ten months in remand, with the condition of being released under a curfew.

Lee and Lilly began dating following Lee’s relocation to a gated neighborhood, which is among the most sought-after postal areas in Freshfield, Merseyside.

Since the start of their relationship, it’s been reported that the Byrne and Gerrard families have grown close, with Lee referring to Alex as a second mother figure for him.

There is no suggestion that Lee or any member of the Gerrard family are involved in crime.
