Arsenal superstar Declan Rice celebrated his team's Premier League title win on Sunday alongside his beloved family. Cuddling his three-year-old son Jude and smiling joyously at his long-term partner, Lauren Fryer, the trio looked in great spirits as they basked in Arsenal's glory alongside adoring fans.
It was a huge moment for the London-based team; the last time they were awarded this title was 22 years ago. The Gunners triumphed in a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace on Sunday.

Around this time, Lauren was the victim of abhorrent trolling after candid holiday photographs of her were published online. The then-25-year-old was snapped enjoying herself on board a yacht with her partner, and she received cruel, negative comments on her appearance.

Declan's World Cup wish
Declan, alongside the rest of the England squad, will be jetting off to North America in June, where he will take part in the World Cup. He is excited to join his teammates, including Bukayo Saka, Cole Palmer, and Phil Foden, whom he counts as good friends, outside of the beautiful game.

When asked to reveal the biggest challenges he faces when representing his country, he quipped, "Dealing with everything that comes with being an England player," and in particular, "the noise."
"It's going to be the most-watched football event of the last four years," Declan added. "One minute you're going to be hated, one minute you're going to be loved. It always changes in football. You’ve just got to take it with a pinch of salt," he mused.
