Arsenal star's girlfriend targeted by cruel trolls

Lauren Fryer, the long-term partner of Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice, has been subjected to severe online body shaming. Fryer, who has been with Rice for over a decade and shares a son with him, has reportedly been heartbroken by the relentless trolling regarding her weight.

Friends have described the impact of the online attacks as 'cruel,' noting that Fryer, who keeps a private life, does not deserve such criticism. Despite these difficulties, she is recognized as a great mother and a supportive partner to Rice, whom she has known since childhood. The shaming has reportedly led Fryer to delete pictures from her social media accounts and maintain a more private online presence.

The couple has faced fan shaming for their relationship over recent years. In February 2026, during a match between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, a Tottenham fan displayed a picture of Fryer on their phone, seemingly to taunt Rice. Although Rice initially didn't react, he later expressed anger about the incident, stating it occurred while he was taking a corner. This event underscores the ongoing nature of the public scrutiny they have endured.
