Steven Gerrard’s daughter, Lilly-Ella, welcomed her first child, a baby girl, two weeks ago.
However up until now, the new mum has kept her newborn’s face hidden on social media.
Yet taking to Instagram on Wednesday, the influencer, 21, shared an unobscured snap of her daughter, Lila Grey, for the first time.
Lilly shared two images of the tot, both alongside her beloved pet pooch as her newborn donned a white and beige outfit, with a matching hat.
The eldest child of the former England footballer announced she was expecting her first child in January.
Lilly has been in a relationship with Lee Byrne – the son of a jailed Irish gangster – since October 2022, with their romance making headlines when it first came to light.

Lila Grey’s birth earlier this month meant Steven has become a grandfather for the first time at just 45 years-old.
The former midfielder has four children with wife Alex – daughters Lilly, Lexie, 19, Lourdes, 14, and a son named Lio, eight.
Revealing her daughter’s name earlier this month, Lilly shared an adorable image on her Instagram story of her holding her baby’s hand in a touching post.
She wrote: ‘So lucky to be your mum My beautiful baby girl, Lila Grey. Perfection.’
She also posted a photograph to her Grid of a sweet welcome home party waiting for her and her newborn baby girl after they arrived home from hospital.
Her baby’s pink-themed homecoming included balloons, candles and a teddy, while a sign read ‘welcome to the world baby’.
Lilly captioned the post: ‘Welcome home Lila Grey. I love you so much #babybubble.’
Her father, former Liverpool star Steven, has yet to break his silence since becoming a grandfather for the first time.

However, Lilly did share a picture of the ex-England player gazing at his new granddaughter lovingly, alongside the words: ‘Little angel is here.’
Lilly announced her pregnancy news in January, sharing a photo of her positive pregnancy test and telling her 222,000 Instagram followers: ‘Our little secret. The best news… mini us is on the way.’
Responding to his daughter’s post, Gerrard wrote: ‘We can’t wait. Congratulations and we love you.’
Lilly’s partner – with whom she was first linked in 2022 – is the son of Kinahan Cartel gangster Liam Byrne, who was issued a five and a half year prison sentence for a plot to stockpile a stash of machine guns.
Ipswich Crown Court heard how Byrne and colleague Shaun Kent planted a haul of automatic weapons in a bid to help Kavanagh dupe the authorities.
Kavanagh, Byrne’s brother-in-law, was hoping to lead the National Crime Agency, Britain’s FBI, to the guns in a bid to reduce his sentence in a drug conspiracy case.
The staggering haul, imported from Holland, included the Skorpion, the type of automatic weapon used to murder Ashley Dale and Ellie Edwards on Merseyside.

In January, Daily Mail exclusively revealed that Byrne was released from prison three months after he was sentenced to five years in jail.
He was let out with an electronic tag as part of the Prime Minister’s controversial Early Release Scheme to ease overcrowding in prisons, sources said at the time.
Byrne, who was released on a curfew and other conditions, had been on remand for ten months before his sentencing last October.
Lee and Lilly became an item after Lee moved into a gated community in Freshfield, one of Merseyside’s more desirable post codes.
The Byrne and Gerrard families are said to have bonded since the young couple began dating, with Lee describing Alex as his second mum.
There is no suggestion that Lee or any member of the Gerrard family are involved in crime.
