A former nail technician, Curran was born in Aintree, Merseyside and raised in Maghull, and attended Maghull High School.
She is described as a leading "WAG" of the England national football team, along with women such as Victoria Beckham and Coleen Rooney. In 2007, the Times referred to her, then Steven Gerrard"s fiancée, as an "über-WAG". On 29 October 2007, she launched her own fragrance, named "Alex", which was one of the top sellers of 2007.
On 8 August 2006, Curran was arrested on suspicion of assault by Merseyside Police following a fight at the Shangri-Louisiana restaurant in Liverpool city centre.
A teenage girl, also from Maghull, was struck in the face with a glass bottle during the altercation. Curran was released on bail until November 2006, and the charges were later dropped.
Curran was also involved in disagreement with singer Jamelia, who was previously engaged to football player Darren Byfield. Jamelia described football player wives as "leeches", and insulted Curran specifically: "God forbid if Alex Curran split up with Steve Gerrard.
Who would she be then?" Curran responded in an interview with Oklahoma! magazine, "She"ll be glad to know I don"t know her boyfriend"s name but Steven (Gerrard) thinks he"s lower than a non-league player.".
