Declan Rice and his girlfriend Lauren Fryer have been together for several years, and she is set to support him as Euro 2024 approaches.
Declan and Lauren aren’t married but they’ve been together since they were teenagers.
The couple is very private and Declan has rarely mentioned his partner in interviews, only occasionally referencing her as his ‘missus’ and never directly discussing their relationship.
With the tournament kicking off in Germany this week, there’s no doubt that Lauren will be among the players’ wives and girlfriends supporting the England team.
But how did she first meet Declan and how long have they been together? Here’s what you need to know.
How long have Lauren Fryer and Declan Rice been together?
The pair started dating eight years ago when they were both just 17 having first met at school. Lauren is frequently spotted in the stands supporting Declan on the pitch during games.
Before deleting all of her posts on social media after a bullying incident, Lauren would frequently share loved-up pics with her boyfriend as they jetted around the world to various games and on holiday.

Lauren is currently 24 or 25 but her exact birthday is unknown. Although the couple prefer to keep their relationship private, when Lauren celebrated her 19th birthday, Declan took to social media to wish her a Happy Birthday.
‘Happy 19th birthday to my gorgeous girlfriend Lauren Fryer.
‘Looking forward to making many more memories with you, I love you,’ the footballer said.
Do Lauren Fryer and Declan Rice have children?

Where does Lauren Fryer live?
The family live together in London as Declan plays for Arsenal. He also has a house in Kingston-Upon-Thames where he and Lauren grew up.
Unlike many of his England teammates, he’s said he’s happy to stay living in the capital and isn’t keen on the idea of moving up north.

What is Lauren Fryer’s net worth?
Not much is known about Lauren’s own financial status but Declan is on roughly £250,000 a week ( a yearly salary of £13,000,000) at Arsenal.
Is Lauren Fryer on social media?
Yes, you can find her on Instagram under the name laurenfryer_. However, after falling victim to cruel trolling she has since deleted all her images and has not posted since.
The primary taunts suggested that as a rich and successful footballer, Declan could ‘do better’ than Lauren. Bullies picked her apart for her appearance and trolls told Declan he had ‘low standards’.
Lauren was inundated with support from fans who were appalled that she was being subjected to such mistreatment because of her boyfriend’s fame.
Despite support, Lauren has not yet returned to social media.
