Alex confirmed her pregnancy in November, by breaking the news on Twitter with a photo of her three daughters looking at an ultrasound scan photo of their new sibling. 

 

Along with the image she wrote: “We are all very excited for our new baby to arrive next year ! Number four!”

 

Her pregnancy news came as a surprise as a few years ago, she denied any interest in having a fourth child.  

 

She told OK magazine: “Not at the moment. Lourdes is getting more independent now, so the thought of another scares me…

 

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

 

Congratulations to the Gerrard family.
