Jamie Carragher often shares family updates to social media and to mark Mother's Day has posted special messages to his mum and wife, Nicola.

The Liverpool FC legend shares two children with Nicola.

Carragher and Nicola have two children together, Mia and James.



According to the footballer's autobiography, Jamie had to ask Nicola to marry him twice after his first proposal went wrong when he got an incorrectly sized ring and a mis-wrapped present.

The couple have known one another since they were children and even went to primary school together.

In response to the heartfelt message, Nicola said "couldn't do it without you", the post showed the mum with her daughter and son in two separate images.

Carragher also sent a lovely message to his own mum, Paula.

After she completed the Tokyo marathon this month, Carragher shared a photo of her holding a medal with the caption "@tokyomarathonfoundation is about the athlete’s especially @nicolacarragher who was amazing & has now done four of the seven @wmmajors with three more to come in the next few months."

In October, Nicola completed the Chicago marathon and received a similar message of support from the former Red.

Chicago is also amazing!''

This week, fans have been kept in the loop as the Carragher family jetted off to Malta as James competed in his first international game for Malta.
