Arsenal and England midfielder Declan Rice, is a talented midfielder and a household name in the world of football. However, the spotlight on his personal life has unfortunately cast a shadow over his girlfriend, Lauren Fryer.
Lauren, once a relatively private individual, has become the target of unwarranted and vicious online abuse. Let's look into who she is and the reasons behind this negativity.
Who is Lauren Fryer?
Lauren Fryer is Declan Rice’s girlfriend and childhood sweetheart, who has been by his side since the beginning of his football journey. Lauren played a major role in the Arsena’s star rise to Premier League stardom as she has been one of his biggest support systems all along.
However, while her boyfriend is the center of attention due to his price tag and football skills, she appears to be the type that prefers to stay away from the stardom. Though she never hides her relationship with the England star as she showcases their time together via her social media accounts. She is also quite supportive of her boyfriend publicly as she has been seen in the stands during games involving the midfielder.
How old is Lauren Fryer?
Lauren is 25 years old, which is the same age as her boyfriend Declan. She is from Chessington, Greater London but details about her childhood have not been made available to the public at this time.
Lauren Fryer and Declan Rice
Lauren and Declan are childhood sweethearts and have been together since they were teenagers. The pair met when they were both 17 years and in school. They have been together for eight years as they celebrated their seven-year anniversary back in February 2023 after welcoming their first child into the world a year before, in 2022. Though the couple prefer to keep their relationship out of the public eye, there have been several pictures of them together on the internet.
Lauren was in Qatar with baby Jude to cheer on Rice at the 2022 World Cup, as she has constantly done by visiting Arsenal’s home ground, the Emirates, to show her support. With Euro 2024 coming up, she is expected to travel to Germany, as one of the WAGs showing support for their partners.
Lauren Fryer baby
In August 2022, while Declan was still at West Ham, he and Lauren joyfully announced the arrival of their son, Jude Rice, into the world. The confirmation of this came during a Premier League match against Brighton, where Rice proudly displayed a new tattoo adorning his skin. The ink art prominently featured the name of his son "Jude" alongside his birthdate, August 7. Not stopping there, Rice also adorned himself with the symbol representing Jude's zodiac sign, Leo, a touching tribute to his newborn.
Where do Declan Rice and Lauren Fryer live?
Declan and Lauren live in London, where the midfielder has played for two prominent club sides: West Ham and now Arsenal. Despite the allure of other locations, including the possibility of relocating up north, Declan's heart remains in the capital. However, the couple have a residence in Kingston-Upon-Thames, a place deeply rooted in their personal history as they both grew up there.
Unlike some of his England teammates who may prefer a different locale, Declan has expressed contentment with living in London. For him, the vibrant energy of the city, combined with the familiarity of Kingston-Upon-Thames, creates an ideal setting for their family life.
Lauren Fryer Instagram
Lauren had an active Instagram account where she showed off her lifestyle with Declan. She posts their various holidays in sunny locations and several cities, as well as festivals in the UK. The 25-year-old also showed off their dog, Raffa the pooch, which Rice gifted her for Christmas.
However, she has had to delete her Instagram account after facing online abuse from trolls at the time of writing this. This is because she has constantly faced harassment multiple times and it reportedly began in December before escalating to the point where she received disgusting messages. Some comments even targeted her appearance, suggesting that Rice "could do better." This negativity apparently drove Fryer to wipe her Instagram clean, which at the time had over 70,000 followers.
Lauren Fryer job
Lauren is not very public about her career ambitions and the details about her career are not on the internet. However, there are speculations that she is likely a stay at home mum to their son Jude. She is also a support system to Declan, who has a massive job playing for a club like Arsenal where he has to deliver solid performances every week.
Lauren Fryer's net worth
Like her career, not much is known about Lauren’s earnings and financial status. However, Declan is on roughly £250,000 a week at Arsenal, a significant upgrade from the £60,000 per week he earned at West Ham. £250,000 per week translates to a yearly sum of £12.4 million for Declan, putting his estimated net worth at a remarkable £26 million per sources.
