Declan Rice decided to treat his family to a lovely dinner as a way to say goodbye before Euro 2024.
The England midfielder was so comfortable that he even stopped outside to sign autographs while he was eating with his childhood sweetheart Lauren Fryer and his 22-month-old son Jude. They choose Novikov in London, a well-known eatery frequented by football greats, for their pre-tournament celebration.
Paul Pogba, Ronaldo, Neymar, Harry Kane, Wayne Rooney, and John Terry have all been to the Mayfair restaurant before.
Their menu offers lavish main courses like salt-crusted sea bass with crudaiola sauces, which start at an incredible £125. The wood oven-roasted langoustines cost £50, and the black pizza with seafood costs £58.
Rice held Jude tightly while scanning the venue while sporting a dark-green cap and a light-green hoodie. Despite its pricey food, the restaurant offers a two-course lunch for £26.
As one of his friends snapped a photo of him with two admirers, Rice smiled widely.
As one of England’s key players at the Euros in Germany, Rice and Jude Bellingham are anticipated to create a midfield partnership. The youthful and talented duo reflects Rice and Lauren’s long-lasting friendship, which began during their adolescent years more than eight years ago. To celebrate the birth of their first child, Rice had tattoos in August 2022 that included Jude’s Leo star sign, his son’s name, and the day of his birth.
Rice and Lauren would prefer not to talk about their relationship, but two months ago, after being tormented by online trolls, Lauren deleted all of her Instagram photos.
As he gets ready for the Euros in Germany, Rice now wants to put an end to the criticism and focus on his family’s supportive farewell.
