Declan Rice is delivering a remarkable performance in an Arsenal shirt this season. He’s considered one of the top midfielders in the Premier League at the moment. Alongside his on-field prowess, Rice’s personal stories have also caught the media’s attention.

Recently, as photos of his girlfriend Lauren Fryer circulated on social media, there have been numerous derogatory comments about her appearance. This isn’t the first time Lauren has faced unkind remarks about her looks. Since Rice joined the England national team in 2019, Lauren has been criticized for not fitting the conventional standards set by other glamorous WAGs.

Previously, Rice and his girlfriend used to frequently share sweet moments together, but for a while now, the couple hasn’t been posting pictures of each other.

Things have drifted apart to the extent that Lauren has deleted all her photos from her personal page and stopped using social media altogether, while Rice has also hidden all posts except those featuring his girlfriend. Arsenal fans have rallied to defend the couple against malicious comments on social media.

The Arsenal midfielder and his girlfriend began dating at the age of 17 after meeting at school, and it’s been nine years since then. Since their early days, Lauren has been spotted at the stadium cheering Rice on whenever he plays. The couple welcomed their first son in August 2022, but the pregnancy was kept secret from the public. It wasn’t until Rice revealed a tattoo with his son’s name, Jude, and birth date, 07.08.2022, on his arm that fans became aware of the happy news.

Jude is the couple’s only child. Declan has often been seen bringing his grandson onto the pitch during West Ham matches, leading to confusion as people mistook him for Declan’s own child. However, it wasn’t until 2022 that the midfielder welcomed his first child.

Lauren has always been by Rice’s side, supporting him throughout his career, from his days as a young player to becoming a star for Arsenal and the England national team.

Throughout Rice’s football career, Lauren has always been there, accompanying and supporting her boyfriend. She regularly attends matches and once sent a sweet message to uplift him after the disappointment of the EURO 2020 final.

According to the Daily Star, speaking at a press conference, the 25-year-old star has spoken out to defend his girlfriend. He described Lauren as “down-to-earth, fun, beautiful, and kind-hearted” and affirmed that he “loves her more than anything in the world.” When asked by reporters if he reads comments about Lauren, Rice replied, “This woman is the love of my life, and I don’t ask for anything more.”

Rice has received much praise for consistently standing up for his girlfriend and openly expressing his affection. Many people often assume that the girlfriend of a famous footballer must be a model, stunning, and glamorous, but Rice breaks that stereotype. Despite becoming a wealthy football star with a weekly wage of £250,000 (£13 million per year), he remains faithful to the girlfriend who has been with him since his youth. Currently, Rice and his girlfriend are living happily in London, keeping a low profile and avoiding media attention.
