## Early life
Alex Gerrard was born in Aintree, Merseyside, and raised in Maghull, where she attended Maghull High School.[2](https://www.goal.com/en/news/who-is-alex-gerrard-everything-you-need-to-know-about-steven-gerrards-wife/1t5ro0vmte0vq12yl9whp4ria1) She began modeling as a teenager after graduating from the school.[3](https://www.famousbirthdays.com/people/alex-curran.html) Italian and English profiles describe her as an English model and a fashion journalist for the [Daily Mirror](https://www.edgepedia.org/daily-mirror).[8](https://www.abruzzo24ore.tv/news/Alex-Gerrard-Curran-la-moglie-del-capitano-inglese-Gerrard/139354.htm) • [9](https://articlebio.com/alex-curran)
## Relationship with Steven Gerrard
Steven and Alex appear to have met through the Liverpool social scene and began dating in 2002; she has said she turned him down at first.[2](https://www.goal.com/en/news/who-is-alex-gerrard-everything-you-need-to-know-about-steven-gerrards-wife/1t5ro0vmte0vq12yl9whp4ria1) The relationship drew early controversy because Alex had been dating businessman [Tony Richardson](https://www.edgepedia.org/tony-richardson) while Steven was seeing the actress and model [Jennifer Ellison](https://www.edgepedia.org/jennifer-ellison); the couple then swapped partners, reportedly creating a feud between Alex and Ellison, though who moved first has remained unknown.[2](https://www.goal.com/en/news/who-is-alex-gerrard-everything-you-need-to-know-about-steven-gerrards-wife/1t5ro0vmte0vq12yl9whp4ria1)
By the time they married in 2007 at Cliveden House, a large [Buckinghamshire](https://www.edgepedia.org/buckinghamshire) mansion previously occupied by Stanford University and now run as a five-star hotel, they already had two daughters, Lilly-Ella (born 2004) and Lexie (born 2006); a third daughter, Lourdes, was born in 2011, and a son, Lio, arrived in 2017.[2](https://www.goal.com/en/news/who-is-alex-gerrard-everything-you-need-to-know-about-steven-gerrards-wife/1t5ro0vmte0vq12yl9whp4ria1) • [5](https://as.com/us/2017/06/11/futbol/1497187122_406855.html) Sources disagree on the exact wedding date: Famous Birthdays gives 2007, after five years of dating, while the London Circle profile and a celebrity biography give 16 June 2007; all agree the ceremony took place at Cliveden House in 2007.[3](https://www.famousbirthdays.com/people/alex-curran.html) • [4](https://londoncircle.co.uk/alex-curran/) • [10](https://www.famedstars.com/2020/05/alex-curran-biography-body-statistics.html?m=1)
