Lilly Gerrard has shared new pictures of her pregnancy journey. The 21-year-old daughter of Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard announced her pregnancy in January this year.
Announcing the news, Lilly posted to Instagram a picture of her baby scan. She wrote: "Our little secret. The best news, mini us is on the way." Lilly and her partner Lee Byrne have been dating for over two years and will soon be welcoming their child into the world.
Last night, Lilly posted two pictures of herself to her Instagram story, both showing off her baby bump. She captioned the images "almost there" alongside a laughing emoji and a love heart emoji.
Since revealing her pregnancy, Lilly, who grew up in Formby, has received an abundance of love and support. Gerrard was one of the first to comment on his daughter's post when she shared the baby news.
He commented: "We can't wait. Great news and congratulations we love you." Gerrard regularly shares family updates on social media and has always been vocal about the love he has for his children.
Mum Alex, 42, took to the comments and said: "Can’t wait." Gerrard's second eldest daughter, Lexie, 18, said: "Can’t wait to be a auntie." Steven and Alex have been happily married since 2007 after they tied the knot in a luxurious ceremony at Cliveden House in Berkshire.

Gerrard was aged 27 at the time and heaped praise on his bride in an interview after the wedding with OK! Magazine. He said: "When I saw her coming down the stairs, she just looked amazing. And the girls looked really beautiful. I was dead proud of all of them."
The former Liverpool captain and his wife are proud parents of four children, Lily 21, Lexie 18, Lourdes 13 and Lio 7. It has been an exciting year for Lilly, who celebrated her 21st birthday in February.
Lilly marked her birthday by sharing a photo of a stunning bouquet of flowers and a cake with "Happy 21st birthday Lilly" written on, she said "Gorgeous birthday weekend with the girls" as she posted to social media.
The daughter of Gerrard grew up on Merseyside but has spent a lot of time away from the UK in the past couple of years due to her dad's management commitments with Al-Ettifaq FC, a team he departed in January.
