DECLAN RICE is proving himself a top Gunn for Arsenal - and it is all with his childhood sweetheart Lauren Fryer by his side.
The two 25-year-olds have been together for eight years and they welcomed their first child into the world when she gave birth to their son, Jude, in August 2022.
Rice, who joined Arsenal for £105m in 2023 after captaining West Ham to Conference League joy, confirmed that baby news by showing off a new tattoo in a Premier League clash against Brighton.
His ink work showcased his son's name, Jude, and date of birth - August 7.
The former Chelsea academy man also had the symbol for Jude’s star sign, a Leo, tattooed onto him ahead of the match.

England international Rice and Lauren have been together for well over EIGHT years.
They prefer to keep their relationship out of the public eye - but there have still been several snaps of them together.
However, Lauren deleted all of her Instagram pictures after bullying from vicious online trolls in April 2024.
She had to put up with disgusting messages with the taunting appearing to start months earlier when Rice was told that he “could do better”.
Lauren then wiped her Instagram account, which had more than 70,000 followers.

The couple also have a dog - Raffa the pooch - which Rice gifted Lauren for Christmas.
