Alex Gerrard: Steven Gerrard's Wife, Age, Career, Family

Alex Gerrard, born Alexandra Curran, is the wife of Steven Gerrard, the former Liverpool and England captain. She is a model, a fashion columnist and a businesswoman, and the couple married on 16 June 2007. As of November 2026, Gerrard is not managing a club: he left Saudi side Al-Ettifaq in January 2025, turned down a return to Rangers in October 2025 and is now a pundit and co-commentator for TNT Sports, so the "Aston Villa manager" label that older articles still use is out of date.

Alex is one of the best-known partners of the England "golden generation", and people search for her under several names: Alex Gerrard, Alex Curran, Alexandra Gerrard. This article sorts what reputable sources have reported about her life, her career, the couple's story and their family, with everything checked and updated for November 2026. Details that we could not confirm from a reliable source have been left out on purpose, including several that older copy-paste biographies repeat.

Who is Steven Gerrard's wife?

Steven Gerrard is married to Alex Gerrard, née Curran. According to Wikipedia, citing Sunday Mirror reporting, they have been a couple since 2002. Goal's 2017 profile says they met on the Liverpool social scene and that she turned him down at first.

They married on 16 June 2007 at Cliveden House, a luxury hotel in Taplow, Buckinghamshire. Gerrard confirmed the date himself eight years later: on 16 June 2015 he posted a photo with Alex on Instagram captioned "Married 8 years today happy anniversary babe", as reported by Sports Mole.

As far as is publicly known, the couple are still married in 2026, and we found no report saying otherwise. Their most recent big family news was the birth of their first grandchild in 2025, born to their eldest daughter.

Alex Curran bio: who is Alexandra Gerrard?

Alex Curran grew up in the Liverpool area and worked as a nail technician before moving into modelling and media. By the mid-2000s she was a fixture of the tabloids as one of the leading partners of England footballers, a group the press labelled "WAGs", alongside names such as Victoria Beckham and Coleen Rooney. In February 2007, The Times called her Gerrard's "über-WAG fiancée".

We could not find reliable public information about her parents or siblings, and older biographies that name them give no source, so we do not repeat those details. The honest answer on her family background is that it is private.

Career: perfume, fashion, columns

Her professional career, as listed on English Wikipedia, runs like this:

2007: launched her own perfume, called "Alex", on 29 October 2007. It was reported as one of the top sellers of that year.
2009 to January 2013: weekly column for OK! magazine.
2010 and 2011: the Forever Unique by Alex Gerrard collections, a first range in 2010 and a second in 2011.
2013: model for the Lipsy VIP collection.
Daily Mirror: a weekly shopping and fashion column, "Go Shopping With Alex Curran". We could not confirm whether it is still running in 2026, so we do not describe it as current.

Steven Gerrard Foundation

Gerrard set up the Steven Gerrard Foundation in February 2011 to help disadvantaged children and young people, with a focus on Liverpool and Merseyside. Its early beneficiaries included Fairbridge and Claire House, and later donations went to Zoe's Place Baby Hospice and Liverpool's emergency foodbank appeal. We could not find a source describing Alex as a co-founder, so we do not claim that. Older versions of this article also quoted a total raised and a link with another foundation, neither of which we could verify.
