This weekend marked a very special moment for Jarrod Bowen and Dani Dyer, who tied the knot in a close-knit ceremony surrounded by friends and family.
The couple, who have been together for four years, celebrated their marriage with an intimate gathering in Berkshire, making the day all about love and close connections.
Close Friends Declan Rice and Ezri Konsa Join the Celebration
Among the guests were some familiar faces from the England football scene.
Declan Rice, Bowen’s longtime friend and former West Ham teammate, attended the wedding with his partner Lauren Fryer.
Rice looked dashing in a tuxedo, while Fryer chose a sleek black dress for the occasion.
Ezri Konsa, another England international, was also spotted enjoying the festivities.
While many of their England teammates were off on a team-building trip to the Spanish Grand Prix, Rice and Konsa took time out to celebrate Bowen’s special day.
Lauren Fryer and Dani Dyer’s Friendship Shines Through
Lauren Fryer and Dani Dyer have grown close over the years, supporting each other both on and off the pitch.
Fryer, who has faced cruel online trolling and abuse that led her to delete her social media accounts, received heartfelt support from Dyer.
Dyer spoke openly about the tough time Fryer endured, describing the attacks as “cruel” and emphasizing how unfair it is for someone who prefers to keep a low profile to be targeted like that.
“She’s a great mum and very private,” Dyer said. “No one deserves that kind of criticism.
We didn’t dwell on it but instead talked about how wonderful and beautiful she is.
She’s Declan’s childhood sweetheart, and you can see how much he adores her.”
Celebrating Love and Family
The newlyweds, both 28, are already proud parents to twin daughters born last year.
Dani Dyer, famously known as the daughter of TV personality and West Ham superfan Danny Dyer, shared a few beautiful moments from the wedding on Instagram with her 3.7 million followers, captioning the post simply, “The Bowens.”
Well wishes poured in from fans and fellow footballers alike, including a congratulatory message from West Ham’s official account and Liverpool defender Andy Robertson, who called Bowen a “former Hull City teammate.”
Bowen’s Football Focus Amid Personal Milestones
While Bowen enjoyed the wedding celebrations, he was notably absent from the latest England squad announced by manager Thomas Tuchel.
Declan Rice and Ezri Konsa are set to feature in upcoming matches against Andorra and Senegal, but Bowen will be off on his honeymoon with Dani.
Since being named West Ham captain last summer, Bowen has been a key figure for the club, maintaining consistent performances despite the team’s struggles.
The Hammers have seen some turbulence, with Julen Lopetegui leaving in January and Graham Potter stepping in, but results have been mixed as they finished 14th in the league.
