Lilly-Ella Gerrard is set to welcome her first child with Lee Byrne, son of notorious mobster Liam Byrne, sparking mixed reactions online
Liverpool: So, guess what? Steven Gerrard is going to be a granddad! His daughter, Lilly-Ella, is expecting her first baby with her boyfriend, Lee. And get this—Lee is the son of Liam Byrne, a big name in the Kinahan mob.
Lee isn’t into crime, though. He and Lilly-Ella have been dating since October 2022. She was just 18, and he was 23 when they got together. Now, they’re super excited about their little one on the way!
Lilly-Ella shared the news on Instagram with a cute photo of a pregnancy test and sonogram. She wrote, “Our little secret the best news, mini us is on the way.” How sweet is that? Steven commented, “We can’t wait, great news and congratulations we love you.”
Even social media star Chloe Sims jumped in, saying she’s so excited for Lilly-Ella. It’s clear that Lee is head over heels for her, calling her “the best person he’s ever met.”
But here’s the twist: Lee’s dad, Liam, is a notorious figure. He’s been linked to serious crime and was recently sentenced to five years for conspiracy to import firearms. His brother was also killed in a gangland shooting back in 2016, which was a huge deal in Ireland.
So, while Lilly-Ella and Lee are looking forward to their new chapter, there’s a lot of drama in the background. It’s a wild mix of joy and chaos, for sure!
