.

An interesting fact about Alex Gerrard is that she first began as a nail technician and improved her career and later became a model. Also she is known to be a writer and she wrote a few columns for some well-known magazines like Daily Mirror and OK! Magazine. She is a successful business woman who started her own perfume and clothing line.

Before meeting her now husband, Steven Gerrard, she dated a business man named Tony Richardson while Steven was dating the model and actress Jennifer Ellison. Alex and Tony split up a few months after they met and she fell in love with the former Liverpool player.

At the time, Steven was dating Jennifer and made the two model get in a fight! Not a big fight but it was a fight.

After Jennifer and Steven broke up, Alex started her relationship with Steven in 2002. And after being together for more than 5 years, they finally got married in 2007 at a luxury hotel in Cliveden.

About

Alex Gerrard children

, it should be mentioned that this couple has four children together. Their first daughter, Lily-Ella, was born on 2004 and two years after that in 2006 the second daughter, Lexie, was born. This family kept growing after the birth of the third child, Lourdes in 2011. After six years of the birth of the third daughter, their first son, Lio George was born in 2017.

Before her family start to get huge, she lived in Los Angles, California because of her job. The couple live in a home in Beverly Hills which was valued £ 18 million and they rented the house for £ 36,000 a month.

Alex Gerrard love story

Steven and Alex appear to have crossed paths on the Liverpool social scene and began dating in 2002. Among noticeable

facts about Alex Gerrard

is that she turned him down first. She said, "I did say no but I'm glad I did because he was used to all the girls saying yes to him. I think because I didn’t come across as overly keen like all the others, it made him like me more."

After a few months in 2002 they started their relationship and it is as great as the beginning. Their family got bigger after the birth of their first child and the relationship got stronger and more serious. As said before in Alex’s biography, they got married in 2007, one year after their second child birth.

Now this beautiful and lovely family got four kids and they live in a beautiful city named Formby, Liverpool which is a small town in the west of England.

This family also had some troubles in that house. In 2007, a year after their second daughter’s birthday, Steven was still playing for Liverpool and he had to leave his family to play the game.

A horrible fact about Alex Gerrard is that when she and the girls and children’s nanny were alone in the house they got robbed by four masked men whom were there for a £ 10,000 watch which Alex had bought for her husband as a Christmas gift.

The weird thing is Steven’s house was the sixth house of the Liverpool players to be robbed while they were away from their houses and families to play for Liverpool!

There was no information about the robbers and we didn’t know if they were arrested or not but a few months later it was released that the robbers were Martin Wilson, 22 at that time, who was a member of a gang masked thieves.

After entering the house, he threatened Alex to hurt the children if she won’t tell her where the safe is. She said that to the police “If you don't tell us where the safe is, we'll take the kids.” That’s what they told her.

Wilson was a suspect after the police found a phone call in that time near Alex and Steven’s house and after investigating the case they arrested him and in the court he got the time of 7 years in jail for violence and breaking an entry. He must be out though by the time that this article is written.

Alex Curran and Steven Gerrard Exes Hooked Up

A fun

fact about Alex Gerrard, Steven Gerrard wife

is that their exes hooked up. Steven Gerrard wife Curran and Gerrard started dating in 2002 after they split with businessman Tony Richardson and actress Jennifer Ellison, respectively.

The couple already had two children together: daughters Lilly-Ella, born on February 23, 2004, and Lexie, born on May 9, 2006. They welcomed their third daughter Lourdes on November 2, 2011.

Alex Gerrard Controversy

Among surprising facts about Alex Gerrard is that on 8 August 2006, Curran was arrested on suspicion of assault by Merseyside Police following a fight at the Shangri-La restaurant in Liverpool city center.

A teenage girl, also from Maghull, was struck in the face with a glass bottle during the altercation. Curran was released on bail until November 2006, and the charges were later dropped. This happened when she was 23 and it was in the 3 am on a Saturday night.

In the police files it is said that Alex attacked an 18-year old teenager with a bottle which caused her to go to a hospital with a black eye but the people at the restaurant said that it was just her bag not a bottle.

When Alex was asked about this she replied, “This is now a matter for the police and we cannot make any further comment at this stage”. We don’t know how the charges were dropped but that was no more problem with the police after that.

Curran was also involved in disagreement with singer Jamelia, who was previously engaged to footballer Darren Byfield. Jamelia described footballer wives as "leeches", and insulted Curran specifically: "God forbid if Alex Curran split up with Steve Gerrard.

Who would she be then?" Curran responded in an interview with OK! Magazine, "She'll be glad to know I don't know her boyfriend's name but Steven (Gerrard) thinks he's lower than a non-league player."

After her words were out Alex responded a little harsh. She called her a “nobody” as she was responding in an interview “She’ll be glad to know I don’t know her boyfriend’s name but Steven thinks he’s lower than a non-league player.

‘I couldn’t believe what she said about me. I have never met her but she accused me of getting by on three grapes a day, suggesting I’m anorexic or something.”

“When you are representing Rangers and you know what it means to certain people, there are times when it dominates your life, and you can’t control that, that’s what it is. But there will be a stage in my life where I have to give it up for the sake of my family and for myself, to cut it and live life with a bit of peace,” He said.

He also talked about how his family and specifically Alex affect his work. “Alex would take it tomorrow. She is the one who brings me down when I come in and think I’m fantastic because I scored a goal or we’ve won a game.

She pipes me down. And when you’re on the floor and staring at the walls, she’s the one that picks you up. She goes through the journey as well. And the kids see it too.” Steven said.

He is one of the best player that England ever had and for the things that he had done for the sport in his country, he became one of the Order of the British Empire members by the Queen in her New Year Honors List which is an award for personal bravery, achievement, or service to the UK.

Like his wife he also was involved with legal problems! In 2007 he hit a 10-year-old boy with his car in Southport which caused the boy to go to a hospital. Steven went to visit the boy in the hospital and he gave him a pair of boots which was signed by the boy’s favorite football player,

and himself. He also signed for other children in the hospital.

Her husband had some trouble with the Instagram though. Steven has more than 9 million followers on his Instagram page and he posted a picture of his three girls who were hugging his son.

But the problem for him began when he wrote “Looks like his ironing and washing is sorted when he gets older” in the caption that made some viewers feel offended and labelled him as a ‘sexist’ man.

Many people wrote comments and asked him to change this caption but he did not respond. “Lovely picture. Your daughters shouldn't be considered nothing more than housekeepers though”, “We have two girls and always think family goals with this family and say how cute he is as a dad. Think that comment tarnished it a little for me, has what he always wanted a little boy” and “Come on Stevie, you're better than this.
