Declan Rice has seemingly confirmed the birth of his first child with a sweet tattoo.
The West Ham player was expecting a baby with longterm girlfriend and childhood sweetheart Lauren Fryer.
A new inking on his arm appears to confirm that they are now parents to a baby boy, with the tattoo on show during West Ham United’s Premier League defeat on Sunday.
Rice’s tattoo appeared to say that their child was born on August 7, and is named Jude Rice.
His tat wraps around his left arm in a cursive font, and also seems to include a quote: ‘Nothing else matters’.
Rice, 23, started dating Fryer six years ago, but the team captain and his partner are typically private when it comes to their personal lives.

Often enjoying their relationship outside of the spotlight, they are yet to comment publicly on the speculation surrounding a new arrival.
Most recently, the couple were spotted at Reading Festival 2021, where they bonded with Oasis star Liam Gallagher after his headlining set.
Fryer posted a selection of pics from the festival on her Instagram, including a cosy snap with her boyfriend with the caption: ‘Happiest with you’.
The blonde beauty, who hails from Chessington, Greater London, boasts over 35k Insta followers, with her followers including the likes of Harry Kane’s wife Kate and Luke Shaw’s partner Anouska Santos.

Despite keeping their love life behind closed doors, Fryer has previously shared adorable pics with her man to document happy memories, such as riding jet skis in Ibiza and cuddling their dog.
In July last year, Fryer penned a loving message to her boyfriend after a game, saying he had ‘done our country so proud’.
‘This tournament has been the toughest yet most incredible journey of your career so far and I will never forget cheering you on from the very beginning’, she began.
‘I’ve loved every minute of seeing you in all your happiness and success. Me, your family & close friends have all created memories to last an absolute lifetime and that’s all down to you!

‘It wasn’t the result we had all hoped for but sometimes the journey is just as important, and what an insane life changing journey that was! Dec you’ve accomplished so much, to say I’m proud of you is an understatement.’
She concluded: ‘The best is yet to come … you’re just getting started and you will all come back from this 10 times stronger. Roll on the World Cup in 2022!’, stating: ‘You will always be my winner’.

In an interview with Sky Sports earlier this year, Rice said it was ‘really special’ to have his loved ones cheering on his successes.
Rice took to the pitch at London Stadium over the weekend to play against Brighton & Hove Albion FC, but suffered a 2-0 defeat.
Reps for Declan Rice have been contacted for comment.
