Declan Rice and Lauren Fryer’s 6-year love journey, welcoming baby Jude, and a heartwarming tattoo tribute

Footballer Declan Rice announced the birth of his first child with his long-term partner, Lauren Fryer.

On Sunday, 21 August, the West Ham and England national team player unveiled a new tattoo on his arm, hinting at the nаme and birth date of his newborn son. The tattoo features the nаme “Jude Rice,” the astrology symbol for Leo – representing the August star sign – and the birth date, 7 August 2022. Additionally, the tattoo includes a quote that begins with “nothing,” though the remainder is obscured behind Rice’s arm in photographs taken during a match against Brighton and Hove Albion.

This tattoo reveаl follows an earlier appearance where the tattoo was covered with a bandage during a match against Nottingham Forest.

At 23 years old, Rice has been in a relationship with Fryer for six years. The couple celebrated their six-year anniversary with a special dinner at the Hutong restaurant in the Shard last year.

Despite their public profiles, the couple has chosen to maintain a private stance regarding their personal lives, choosing not to share any details about their newborn on social media. They also kept their pregnancy journey under wraps, opting for a more intimate approach to this significant life event.
