New parents Lee Byrne and Lily Gerrard party at Drake concert with Kinahan 'foot soldier'

The couple alongside their pal ‘Biggie’ took in the Canadian rapper during his UK tour.

New parents Lilly Gerrard and Lee Byrne let their hair down as they partied at a Drake concert alongside the Kinahan-linked Nathan ‘Biggie’ Little.

Little has previously been named by the Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) in the High Court as being a low-level member of the 'Byrne Organised Crime Group', considered the Irish wing of the Kinahan cartel.

‘Biggie,’ who was photographed at the funeral of cartel member, David Byrne, in 2016, is a close pal of Lee and Lilly as well as her famous footballer and manager Steven Gerrard – none of whom have any involvement in criminality.

Lilly and Lee recently welcomed the birth of their daughter Lila Grey but took a break from parenting duties to take in the Canadian rapper’s live show during his ongoing UK tour.

The pair are seen cuddling up in Lily’s pics of the night-out on Instagram, which also feature the pair alongside ‘Biggie’ and another woman.

She also shared a clip of the Hotline Bling hitmaker performing his song NOKIA to the packed crowd.

Last month, the new parents revealed the name and gender of their newborn daughter.

Sharing a photo of her home decorated with balloons and flowers, Lilly wrote: “Welcome home Lila Grey. Love you so much.”

She later shared a photo of her holding her baby’s hand and wrote: “So lucky to be your mum. My beautiful baby girl Lila Grey. Perfect.”

Lilly revealed that she had giving birth after posting a photo of Lee, who is the son of Kinahan crime boss Liam Byrne, carrying his daughter home from hospital.

The new mum shared a message of congratulations from Lee’s close friend “Biggie”, who wrote: “Congratulations to my bro and Lilly on the birth of there [sic] baby.” The message was accompanied by a loveheart emoji.

In March, Steven Gerrard’s daughter Lily was also wished pal “Biggie”, a happy birthday.

“Happy birthday @biggelittle6 have a boss day,” alongside a red heart emoji, she wrote at the time.

In June 2023, Liverpool legend Gerrard congratulated Crumlin football team Old County FC on their win in the Noel Ryan Cup – months after visiting the area with “Biggie".

Gerrard had shared a clip of an Old County player scoring one of their four goals against St Francis FC with the caption, “Figo behave” alongside a laughing face emoji.

The ex-Liverpool star’s social post was made just days after the high-profile arrest of Kinahan crime boss Liam Byrne in Spain.

Byrne, the brother of David Byrne who was murdered at the Regency Hotel, hails from Crumlin and has previously been filmed socialising with former England international.

One of the Instagram posts shared by Old County on their win was liked by Lee himself while in another, ‘Biggie’ Little who has also previously been pictured with Gerrard commented: “Up the county”, alongside an on fire emoji.

Gerrard has visited Crumlin in March 2023 where he was driven around the south Dublin suburb by ‘Biggie’ Little and also paid a visit to the Black Forge pub in the area, owned by Conor McGregor.
