The West Ham player’s long-term partner and childhood sweetheart, Lauren Fryer, was expecting a kid.

He showed off his new tattoo during Sunday’s Premier League loss to West Ham United, which seems to prove that they are now parents to a baby boy.

Their child was supposedly born on August 7th and given the nаme Jude Rice, according to Rice’s tattoo.

“Nothing else matters” appears to be emblazoned in cursive font on his tat that encircles his left arm.

The team captain and his girlfriend, Fryer, are usually tight-lipped about their personal life, but Rice, 23, has been dating Fryer for six years.

They have not yet addressed the rumors of a new baby since they prefer to enjoy their love in private.

The pair was last seen at Reading Festival 2021, where they became friends with Liam Gallagher, the lead singer of Oasis, following his performance.

An Instagram photo of Fryer and her partner, with the remark “Happiest with you,” was among several festival photos that Fryer shared.

Famous people who have followed the stunning blonde from Chessington, Greater London, on Instagram include Anouska Santos, the partner of Luke Shaw, and Harry Kane’s wife Kate. Her following numbers over 35,000.Despite keeping their relationship under wraps, Fryer has shared sweet photos of her and her boyfriend on Ibiza jet skis and cuddling with their puppy in the past.

Fryer wrote a heartfelt note to her lover in July of last year, commending him for having “done our country so proud” after a game.

“Supporting you from the start has been an unforgettable experience, and this tournament has been both the most challenging and rewarding experience of your career thus far,” she started.
