Alex Gerrard has revealed that she is expecting her fourth child with footballer husband Steven.

The 34-year-old announced that the news with a cute picture posted to her Twitter account on Friday morning.

Showing her three daughters looking at an ultrasound, the caption simply read: “We are all very excited for our new baby to arrive next year !! number 4.”

The Gerrards are already parents to Lilly-Ella, 12, Lexie, 10 and five-year-old Lourdes.

Alex and Steven, who wed back in 2007 having dated for five years, currently split their time between the UK and the US as Steven now plays for LA Galaxy.

The former Liverpool footballer signed an 18-month contract with the US club last year and the family are renting an £18 million mansion in Los Angeles.

Speaking recently to CNN, he said: “There's so much to do out here for myself and my family.

“It's been a smooth transition off the pitch and hopefully this year I can be a success and then I'll go away very, very happy.

“Whatever you want to do it's available. It's just a super place to live.”

Alex has spoken about adding to her brood in recent years, admitting that she wasn’t quite ready to have another baby again back in 2013.

“Not at the moment. Lourdes is getting more independent now, so the thought of another scares me," she said.

“It's finally getting easier and I'm not ready to go back to the bottles and sleepless nights just yet!”
