Steven Gerrard’s real feelings about sharing granddad duties with ‘drug cartel lieutenant’

Liverpool: So, it turns out Steven Gerrard is about to become a granddad! His daughter, Lilly-Ella, just announced she’s pregnant. But here’s the twist: her boyfriend, Lee Byrne, has some serious family connections. His dad, Liam Byrne, is linked to the Kinahan cartel, which was a big player in the drug trade.

Lilly-Ella and Lee started dating back in October 2022. She shared the baby news on social media, and while Steven was quick to congratulate her, Lee’s dad, who’s currently serving time in prison, didn’t have much to say. Liam’s doing five years for firearm charges, and he’s got a pretty rough past.

Despite all this, it seems like Steven is handling it like a champ. A family friend mentioned that he treats Lee just like anyone else. They’ve all been through a lot together, and it’s not as shocking for them as it might be for others. They’re a close-knit family, and that’s what matters.

Liam’s got a history of violence and was a big deal in the crime world, but he’s hoping to turn things around when he gets out. He might even be free in time for the baby’s christening, which would be quite the family reunion. It’s a wild situation, but it looks like Steven is keeping things cool and supportive for his daughter and her partner.
