'Great to catch up with this fella today. Thanks for popping in to see the girls mate,' Gerrard, who has three daughters Lilly-Ella, 11, Lexie, 9 and Loudres, 3, worte on the social media site.
Horan, who is one quarter of the famous boy band formed on talent show X-Factor in 2010, wrote on his own official Instagram page: 'Great to see Steven Gerrard, Alex and the girls today! What a great guy he is.'
