The WAGs (wives and girlfriends) of the world's top football players have become nearly as popular as the footballers themselves. Actually, the couple of athlethes and celebrities are not only from football, but also from other kind of sports, such as golf, tennis, and so on. But, the couples of football players get more popular than others.The term of WAGs itself came into common use during the 2006 FIFA World Cup, although it had been used occasionally before that.
Prominent WAGs of that year included Victoria Beckham, wife of then England captain David Beckham, whom the New Yorker described as "Queen of the Wags" and the Sunday Times as "the original Wag"; Cheryl Cole, née Tweedy, of the group Girls Aloud, who had married Ashley Cole in July 2006 ("Wag weds"); Coleen Rooney, née Mcloughlin, who married Wayne Rooney in June 2008 and who was variously described as a "chavette", by the The Sun a "super WAG" and, by the end of the year, listed by the Times as a "national treasure"; and fitness instructor Carly Zucker, wife of Joe Cole, described by Susie Whally in the Sunday Times as a "new WAG on the block [who] has set the tone for the season's most wanted muscles". Other WAGs that got considerable interest included Melanie Slade, due to her relative youth - she was an A-level student at the time - girlfriend of Theo Walcott, who, at seventeen, was himself the youngest member of the England squad, and former Spanish waitress Elen Rives, the then fiancée of Frank Lampard. Nancy Dell'Olio, an Italian property lawyer who was the girlfriend of the then England coach Sven-Göran Eriksson, enjoyed quite a high public profile of her own, partly as a result of long-running press interest in aspects of Eriksson's private life.
Curran and Gerrard married on 16 June 2007, at the Cliveden House luxury hotel in Buckinghamshire. They have two daughters, Lilly-Ella (born 23 February 2004) and Lexie (born 9 May 2006) and live in Formby, Merseyside.
Alex Curran was born on the 23rd of September 1982 in Aintree, Liverpool and is an English model, fashion columnist for the Daily Mirror and the wife of Liverpool and England footballer Steven Gerrard.

Peter Crouch takes girlfriend Abigail Clancy to ParisBecause of their popularity, two novels have been published about WAGs. The first, A Wag's Diary, was released in October 2007, published by Harper Collins; the second, A Wag's Diary in LA, was published in June 2008. Both books are written by Alison Kervin.
In an October 2008 press conference, England and Manchester United footballer Rio Ferdinand heavily criticised the WAGS culture, particularly in Baden-Baden two years previously, calling it a "circus" and giving praise to new England manager Fabio Capello's more disciplined regime, and after England had qualified for the 2010 World Cup by beating Croatia 5-1, Capello made his first public comment on the WAGs by making it clear that the England players will only be able to see their wives and partners the day after a match,stating that "We are there to play, not for a holiday"
