Declan Rice's girlfriend has been spotted supporting the England team following a wave of torrid abuse.
Lauren Fryer, 25, has been with the football star for eight years but was forced to remove all posts from her Instagram account after being cruelly trolled for her appearance. The couple share son Jude, 22 months, together and Declan also now has no trace of Lauren on his social media.
However, Lauren is now back in the spotlight as she supports England at the 2024 Euros. She was snapped in the stands as she watched England take on Denmark in their second game of the tournament. Lauren donned an England shirt with the number four and held onto son Jude, who adorably wore the full kit.
The horrendous bullying of Lauren first started in December last year when an anonymous account told the England star he "could do better". Declan was even told he had "low standards" for being in a relationship with his girlfriend. It prompted the mum-of-one to delete all her pictures and photos from Instagram.
She still has 64,000 followers on the platform and has kept her profile public rather than private. Reality TV star Liberty Poole, who appeared on the seventh series of Love Island in 2022 and Love Island All Stars earlier this year, shared her support to Lauren amid the abuse.

What happened to celebrating different body types and embracing how we are all individually made." Declan also come to her defence as he branded her the "love of his life", and said he "doesn't need an upgrade", after he was cruelly urged to get one.
Other social media users were also quick to jump to Lauren's defence with many slamming the vile trolls. Lauren and Declan started dating at the age of 17 and have been together ever since. They tend to keep their relationship away from the public eye yet made a rare public appearance at the Reading Festival in 2021. They were papped rubbing shoulders with Oasis star, Liam Gallagher, following his headline performance at the annual event.
They welcomed their son into the world in August 2022. The news was revealed when Declan sported a new tattoo on his arm with Jude’s name, his date of birth August 7 and his star sign, which is a Leo. Lauren decided to keep her pregnancy a secret. However, fans were delighted when they found out the news, congratulating the proud parents on their new addition to the family. The couple also have a dog - Raffa the pooch - which Declan gifted Lauren for Christmas one year. It's believed the pair welcomed the cute pup into their lives after a romantic trip to Paris.
