Soccer stars covering themselves with tattoos has been a trend going on for quite some time now, and Declan Rice is no stranger to it. The English midfielder was known for not having any tattoos on his body. However, Rice got inked for the first time in 2022 in what was an extremely special gesture. Rice got inked back in August 2022 confirming the arrival of his first child.
Declan Rice and his long-term girlfriend Lauren Fryer became parents in August 2022. The young couple has known each other since childhood. Despite not tying the knot yet, they have reportedly been together for almost eight years now. Lauren has been frequently spotted at the stadiums supporting her boyfriend.
Arsenal has reportedly paid West Ham $131 million plus over $5 million in ad-ons to buy Rice. The former West Ham skipper reportedly rejected the treble winners Manchester City and instead chose Arsenal. He also became the most expensive player in Arsenal’s history.
