The daughter of Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard, Lilly-Ella, is friends with Lee Byrne, son of Dublin gangster Liam. Lee celebrated his 24th birthday on Tuesday
Steven Gerrard and his daughter, Lilly-Ella, have both wished Dublin gangster Liam Byrne’s son, Lee, a happy birthday on social media.
Lee celebrated his 24th birthday on Tuesday, two months after his dad was arrested in Spain on foot of a warrant to face gangland charges in the UK. In 2022, Lee declared his love for Gerrard’s daughter, 19, by describing her as “the best person he’s ever met”.
As Lee turned 24, Liverpool legend Gerrard shared an image of the couple in a vehicle on Instagram and wrote: “Happy birthday mate, have a boss day,” with a love heart emoji. Lilly-Ella also posted a photo of herself taking a selfie with Lee in a lift, adding alongside three love heart emojis: “Happy birthday Lee, hope your birthday is as special as you.”
Lee, like Lilly-Ella and Gerrard, have no involvement in crime. Ex-England captain Gerrard, who now manages Saudi Arabian outfit Al-Ettifaq after being sacked by Premier League side Aston Villa last October, has previously been pictured on numerous occasions with Lee’s dad, Liam, who’s a lifelong Liverpool fan and has regularly attended games at Anfield.
