Rice appeared to be getting ready to take a corner in front of the away end of the club he played for as a youth between 2006 and 2013.
The England star ignored the chants, which repeated the slur three times.
Fryer has been taunted for her appearance, with the bullying first starting in December last year when an anonymous account told midfielder Rice he ‘could do better’.
Recently, Rice was told he had ‘low standards’ for being in a relationship with Fryer, who is the mother to their 20-month-old son, Jude.
Fryer has since been vigorously defended by Rice fans over the comments. Taking to X on Wednesday, one outraged fan wrote: ‘I honestly worry about the mindset of some people. This is Lauren Fryer the girlfriend of Declan Rice who has suffered so much on line abuse recently.’
Another posted: ‘A beautiful woman, a couple in love, with a young family. Some within this world need to get a grip’, while a third shared: ‘Appreciation post for this beautiful woman Lauren Fryer. We’re sorry to see that in 2024 women are still subject to so many disgusting comments.’
Love Island star Liberty Poole, meanwhile, who appeared on the seventh series in 2022 and Love Island All Stars earlier this year, wrote on her Instagram Stories: ‘I think she’s beautiful this is crazy.
‘What happened to celebrating different body types and embracing how we are all individually made.
‘Beauty standards these days are unrealistic and everyone’s gone mad because of social media.
‘I’m going to keep preaching about it till I die. Time for change, this can’t continue.’
The couple have been together since 2016, meeting at school and have a son together, 20-month-old Jude.

In August 2022, Rice appeared to confirm the birth of his first child with Lauren by revealing a tattoo dedicated to a new born boy during a game when he played for West Ham United.
He prompted speculation at the time that he had welcomed Jude earlier that month by exposing a tattoo of the child’s name and apparent birth date – August 7.
Jude’s star-sign, Leo – characterised as a symbol of self-confidence and attractiveness – also featured within the delicate inking on then-West Ham captain Rice’s lower left arm.
