Steven Gerrard and his wife Alex have welcomed their first son, naming him Lio. The Liverpool football legend, 36, and his wife, 34, already have three daughters: Lilly-Ella, 13, Lexie, 10, and Lourdes, five.
The unusual spelling of the name has sparked speculation about its inspiration. Gerrard previously praised Argentine footballer Lionel Messi, saying: 'I think the best ever, the best there will be.'
The couple joins a long list of celebrities who have chosen unconventional names for their children. Other notable examples include Cheryl and Liam Payne's son Bear, Kate Winslet's son Bear Blaze, and Nicolas Cage's son Kal-El, named after Superman's Kryptonian name.
