Alex Curran

Alex Curran (born September 23, 1982 in Norris Green, Liverpool) is an English model and fashion columnist for the Daily Mirror. She is the wife of Liverpool and England footballer Steven Gerrard, and is described as one of the leading "WAGs" (Wives And Girlfriends) of the England national football team along with women such as Victoria Beckham, Coleen McLoughlin and Cheryl Cole - in 2007 the Times referred to Steven Gerrard's fiancée Alex Curran as an "über-WAG".

Curran writes a weekly column for the Mirror entitled "Go Shopping With Alex Curran".

Curran was raised in Maghull, and attended Maghull High School. A former nail technician, Alex Curran and Steven Gerrard have been a couple since 2002. Prior to this, Curran was dating businessman Tony Richardson - at the time Steven Gerrard was dating Jennifer Ellison. At some point in 2002, Curran and Ellison switched - The Guardian said "who stole whom off whom is still the subject of some debate and perhaps Ellison's autobiography".

Curran and Gerrard have two daughters - Lilly-Ella (born February 2004) and Lexie (born 9 May 2006). the two now live in Formby, Merseyside, and married on June 16 2007, at the Cliveden House luxury hotel in Berkshire.
