It seems they were well prepared for her arrival as the ex Rangers star's daughter shared gorgeous snaps of their decorated dining table which was adorned with pink and white balloons with little bows, flowers and candles, a teddy bear and a 'Welcome to the World' sign.

The name Lila appears to be a shortened version of the tot's mum's name, Lilly-Ella but also the letter L is significant as Lilly's siblings all begin with the same, Lexie, Lourdes and Lio. In further snaps uploaded to her Stories, family members can be seen cradling baby Lila but her face has been covered with a white heart emoji. After announcing Lila's arrival yesterday, the young couple have received an influx of supportive messages from fans and loved ones on the post. Among them was little sister Lexie Gerrard, 19, Steven's youngest daughter, who wrote: "She's perfection. Proud of you Li." One fan wrote: "Congratulations, another little Liverpool fan." Someone else commented: "Absolutely beautiful name". A third replied: "Lovely pictures Lilly Gerrard." Another chimed in: "Congratulations Lilly, hope you're all doing well xx" The post has already accumulated almost 10k likes and hundreds of comments. A month before they welcomed their little bundle of joy, Lilly gave fans a sneak preview into her preparations on her Instagram including a shopping trolley which was packed with all the essentials such as nappies, baby wipes, and creams, as she wrote "nesting mode". The couple have also bought 'mama' and 'papa' mugs and have even purchased a pregnancy journal to document all the milestones. Lilly's relationship with Lee Byrne, whose father is the notorious Irish criminal Liam Byrne, has been public since October 2022 and initially sparked controversy.

Inquest opened into the death of schoolgirl Lily, aged 10
The inquest into the circumstances surrounding the death of 10-year-old Lily Wilson was opened on Monday (July 14). Pembrokeshire Coroner Paul Bennett heard how emergency services were called to a home in Simpson Cross at 4.17am on May 27, following reports of a child suffering a cardiac arrest. Lily was pronounced dead at the address. Coroner's officer, PC Carrie Sheridan, told the hearing that a post-mortem had been carried out at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff. The results of this were pending. Dyfed-Powys Police was also carrying out a full investigation into the circumstances. Lily's passing sparked an outpouring of grief and support from the local community. Family friend Emma Robertson set up a fundraising appeal to help cover the costs of Lily's funeral and kind-hearted contributors helped smash the £2,000 target, raising more than £15,000 to date. Emma said that she wanted to help Lily's parents Andy and Kate during a time of 'pain no parent should ever have to imagine, let alone navigate their way through'. As well as a beloved daughter and a big sister to Eva, Lily was a popular and precious member of Roch Community Primary School. 'I know her friends, their parents and staff alike are all heartbroken at the sudden loss of Lily,' said Emma. Any money left over from the JustGiving appeal will be put towards funding for a local defibrillator in Simpson Cross. The coroner opened the inquest and adjourned it to a date later this year.

Weekly Young and the Restless Spoilers July 14-18: A Killer Twist at Cane's Party
The Young and the Restless spoilers for July 14-18, focus on Cane's party taking a sudden turn in tone, and Lily's world is turned upside down. Meanwhile, Jack teaches Billy a painful lesson, and Audra and Kyle finally cross the line. Since Lily (Christel Khalil) came back into Cane's life, he has been carrying a serious torch. And Lily clearly hasn't felt the same. Or she's tried to make herself believe that. Instead, she grew closer to Damian (Jermaine Rivers). So it's no shock to see that on Monday, Cane (Billy Flynn) confronts Damian about his feelings for Lily. Cane has spied some close, intimate moments between Damian and Lily, and he has quietly seethed over them. But next week is when things take a turn at this endless summer soiree in the South of France. As a result, Chance (Conner Floyd) does what Cane brought him there to do: He investigates a crime. In this case, if you watched Y&R's next week on preview, then you know something happens to Damian. And from here on out, the party and escape room experience turns into an Agatha Christie-type murder mystery. This whole scenario causes Amanda (Mishael Morgan) to question Cane's motives, and before the week is out, Cane is forced to defend himself. Who else has a motive to off Damian? Was Damian the original target? Who will materialize as a person of interest? READ THIS: Here's what's coming up next on Y&R. Cane has trapped Genoa City's power players for long enough, and Nick (Joshua Morrow) takes it upon himself to devise an escape plan. Apparently, he won't do what Adam (Mark Grossman) did and walk his way down the mountain. It might be too treacherous for some. What does he come up with? Ziplining? Plus, later in the week, look for Nick to make a shocking discovery. What does he find? Meanwhile, Jack (Peter Bergman) and Billy (Jason Thompson) are at each other's throats again, and Jack is, understandably, wary about his brother's latest plan. Billy, in essence, is giving up on taking his start-up, Abbott Communications, to new heights in favor of joining Cane in taking Chancellor from Victor. Only he and Cane haven't talked about this. Well, Jack, who funded Billy's venture, is done with Billy not focusing on Abbott Communications. Instead, his brother is leaning into vengeance on Victor (Eric Braeden). And Jack hates that Billy decided to hand over the launching duties and the company to Sally (Courtney Hope) while he focuses on Chancellor. As a result, watch for Jack to teach Billy a painful lesson. Does he pull his funding, or something even worse? READ THIS: Full List of Daytime Emmys 2025 Nominations. Finally, this should come as no surprise. Audra (Zuleyka Silver) and Kyle (Michael Mealor) have been spending their time in Nice exchanging flirtatious banter under the guise of this Jabot/Vibrante marketing campaign. Look for these two to cross the line. Here's what we're wondering. Will Audra tell Victor what happened? Because that would violate the contract Kyle signed stating he would never hurt Claire (Hayley Erin). And if he did, he'd have to leave town. What's about to happen here? Got a can't-miss theory? Send it to amber@ today!
