Declan Rice: All you need to know about Man Utd and Chelsea target
West Ham United captain Declan Rice has reportedly welcomed a son with his ‘childhood sweetheart’ Lauren Fryer, seemingly confirming the birth with a new tattoo.
The professional footballer, 23, took to the pitch at London Stadium in the capital city this afternoon for his team’s Premier League match against Brighton & Hove Albion FC.
And whilst West Ham suffered a 2-0 defeat, it appears as though Declan still has reason to celebrate at the moment, as he’s believed to have welcomed a son earlier this month.
It’s been reported that the defensive midfielder and his partner Lauren welcomed a son named Jude on August 7, with it believed that Declan now has a tattoo tribute to him.

According to the Sun, the footballer showcased new ink at the match earlier today, with the tattoo said to have included the name Jude and the birth date 07.08.22.
The outlet reports that the symbol for the star sign of that date – Leo – was tattooed on his arm. Declan appeared to have the words “nothing else matters” tattooed on him.

It’s understood that during a match against Nottingham Forest FC last week, Declan had the ink covered by a bandage – which is common practice for fresh tattoos.
Declan – who has played for the England national team in recent years, after representing the Republic of Ireland earlier in his career – has yet to confirm the ink’s inspiration.

He’s said to have been in a relationship with Lauren for six years. They tend to keep their romance out of the spotlight and have been described as “childhood sweethearts”.
The footballer spoke about his family in an interview with Sky Sports earlier this year, with him saying that it’s “really special” for his loved ones to see him thriving in his career.
