Jamie Carragher has been flooded with special messages of support as he revealed that Wednesday, July 1, 2026, marks his 21st wedding anniversary. The Liverpool legend is married to wife Nicola Carragher, and the two are proud parents to James and Mia.
A Heartfelt Tribute on Social Media
The 48-year-old took to social media on Wednesday to pay tribute to his happy family life, saying: "Happy 21st wedding anniversary my gorgeous girl @nicolacarragher. Time flies when you are having a ball with your best mate. Thank you for being the best & nicest person I know & always looking out for me. Love you so much." Nicola responded in the comments with a simple "Love you."
Many friends and followers also took to social media to wish Carragher well on the special family occasion. Peter Hooton said: "Happy Anniversary." Former boxer Paul Smith Junior added: "Happy anniversary to you both." John Achterberg posted: "Congratulations Carra to both." The post was also liked by James Nelson-Joyce and Coleen Rooney.
Time Off from Punditry
Carragher is enjoying some well-earned time off from punditry after a busy Premier League season. Last month, he attended Ascot with Nicola, where he was pictured wearing a tailored suit and a black top-hat, while Nicola wore a stunning coral-coloured dress with a matching hat and sunglasses. After a day at the races, Carragher shared a picture of the two on his Instagram page, captioning it: "Great day at Ascot with Nicola, but the top hat will not be getting worn around Bootle!"
Nicola also shared her thoughts about her first experience of Ascot races. Sharing a selection of photographs on Instagram, she said: "The most amazing day and first time at Ascot. We had so much fun and we loved meeting lots of lovely people and chatting, looking at everyone's fabulous outfits and drinking rose all day."
Carragher on Liverpool and England
Carragher spoke to Sky Sports about England's World Cup campaign and the upcoming Premier League season when he arrived at the racecourse. Speaking about new Liverpool boss Iraola, the Liverpool legend said: "Listen, he's done an amazing job since he's come into the Premier League to Bournemouth and I don't think anyone doesn't watch them and isn't excited when they watch them. Or if I've got a game for Sky and it's Bournemouth, I think 'OK, I'll look forward to that' it's that all-action style, probably a little bit what we saw from England (against Croatia on Wednesday night), really aggressive, getting the ball forward really early. It's maybe a bit of a throwback to Jurgen Klopp's days at Liverpool and a slightly different style than Arne Slot."
He added: "But as I say, I always want to say this with any Liverpool manager and yes, Arne Slot got a lot of criticism last season and I can't argue and I don't think he can too much with the change because it was so poor last season."
Family Celebrations
The Carragher family has had a lot to celebrate in recent months. They often speak about the achievements of their son James and daughter Mia. Nicola praised Mia when she landed a lead role in The Hunger Games on stage and James when he returned to football action for Wigan after a knee injury. Nicola previously said: "Watching my girl who is an absolute superstar in the evening, like I have no words. Knowing my boy came on in the day after two months out recovering from injury and operation. You both will always be the greatest thing I have ever done in my life, my heart can't deal."
