Steven Gerrard shared an adorable post to celebrate 19 years of marriage with his wife Alex. The couple, who tied the knot in 2007, are marking almost two decades together. The former Liverpool FC captain and his wife have four children: daughters Lilly (22), Lexie (20), Lourdes (14), and son Lio (9).
Daughter's Heartfelt Tribute
Gerrard's daughter Lilly was the first to share a heartfelt post for her parents on their special day. Sharing a photo of her mum and dad, the 22-year-old wrote: "Married 19 years today, happy anniversary I love yous."
Gerrard's Own Post
The Liverpool legend also shared his own post to mark the occasion. He posted a reel to his 11.3 million followers on Instagram, showcasing several photos of him and Alex over the years, including with their granddaughter Lila Grey. He added: "Happy anniversary babe" with a heart and champagne emoji.
Fan Reactions
Fans rushed to the comments to send their love and support. The couple's daughters Lilly and Lexie added love heart emojis, while another follower wrote: "Happy Anniversary to you both." A second said: "Happy Anniversary angels," and a third added: "Happy anniversary have a lovely day."
Their Wedding Day
The couple have been happily married since 2007 after a luxurious ceremony at Cliveden House in Berkshire. Gerrard was 27 at the time and told OK! Magazine: "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." For the wedding, Gerrard wore a pale grey suit while Alex wore an embellished princess-style dress. Their daughters Lexie and Lilly Ella were bridesmaids, and best man duties went to Gerrard's former teammate Danny Murphy.
Growing Family
The Gerrard family has continued to grow, with the former captain becoming a grandfather for the first time last year. His eldest daughter Lilly shared the news of her baby's birth with a snap of her partner, Lee Byrne, carrying their newborn out of the hospital. She captioned the post: "2 becomes 3." Gerrard has embraced his new role as a granddad, regularly sharing photos of himself on "grandad duty." The 46-year-old received a congratulations message from Liverpool FC after Lila Grey was born, which included a gift. The message read: "Dear Steven and family, congratulations on the arrival of baby Lila Grey. With love and best wishes from all at Liverpool Football Club."
