They are childhood sweethearts and have a young son named Jude.
But on the contrary to Dani, Lauren chooses to stay out of the spotlight.
She suffered cruel online abuse last year and it led to her wiping her social media clean.
It is not just Bowen and Rice who are close pals, as their WAGs also struck up a close bond after spending last summer's Euros with England together.

Dani has spoken out to defend her, exclusively telling The Sun last year: "It was so hard, the trolling, as she doesn't put herself out there.
'I think it's harder when you are not in [the celebrity world] and you are being personally attacked. I found that hard.
'She is a really good mum, who keeps to herself. No one deserves to be criticised like that. It was so cruel.
'She got a lot of support from all of us, which she definitely needed.'

Germany v Portugal: Nations League semi-final
Update: Date: 2025-06-04T17:45:45.000Z Title: Preamble Content: If you can't wait for the Club World Cup and Euro 2025 to fill your days, there's another major tournament finale squeezed into football's almost non-existent summer break. The men's Nations League finals kick off in Germany, with the hosts seeking a trophy to somewhat atone for falling short at last year's home Euros. They face Portugal in the semi-final in Munich, with France and Spain contesting the other semi in Stuttgart. It's been an exciting run to the final four for both these teams; in the new two-legged quarter-finals, Germany squeezed past Italy 5-4 on aggregate, while Portugal were minutes from defeat to Denmark before winning 5-3 on aggregate in extra time. This is Germany's first run to the final four; Portugal won the first finals back in 2019. Still, Julian Nagelsmann's side start as favourites at the Allianz Arena tonight. Liverpool fans may be hoping to get a glimpse of Florian Wirtz in action tonight, with the hosts likely to field a strong line-up despite injuries to Jamal Musiala, Kai Havertz and others. The Portugal coach, Roberto Martínez, must decide whether to call on PSG heroes Vitinha, Nuno Mendes and João Neves, who lit up this very stadium four night ago. And will he start Cristiano Ronaldo, 40, up front? Readers, he probably will. Kick-off is at 8pm BST; team news and buildup to come.

Meghan won't take orders from anyone – that's why her brand's in chaos & it's all her own fault, expert slams
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ROYAL experts have slammed Meghan Markle, claiming her inability to take orders is behind the chaos surrounding her brand. The Duchess of Sussex's brand, As ever, is taking a short break after selling out all its items in just 45 minutes, according to Meghan. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 The Duchess of Sussex revealed on a podcast that her brand is taking a short break to restock Credit: Netflix However, experts claim the quick sellout highlights chaos behind the brand, suggesting there weren't enough products to meet demand. The Sun's former Royal Correspondent and author Charles Rae said: "I'm not a businessman, but I would have thought that if you were setting up a new company, you would have enough products on the shelves or whatever is kept to satisfy the demand." Shoppers snapped up £10 jam and £22 honey from Meghan's brand — though it's unclear how many sold before the products were declared out of stock. Royal experts believe that the lack of clarity from the brand stems from the Duchess "not wanting to take orders from anyone". "My view is that it is mainly, I would say, 90 per cent Megan who's running," said Charles. He added: "Who's running the show, because this is a woman who does not want to take orders from anybody." Royal Correspondent Sarah Hewson agreed and said: "She doesn't want to let go. "And I guess, you know, she is putting her name to it. But yes, it has been chaotic." The Duchess of Sussex has promised her As Ever goods will be back in stock this month - alongside "a few new things we can't wait to show you". The about-turn came hours after she was heard telling Beyonce's mother she had decided to "just pause" until completely ready. Meghan couldn't get Beyonce so settled for her mum… but even a global star couldn't save As Ever, expert slams Meghan appeared on her own podcast on Tuesday, recorded in May, telling Tina Knowles she feared annoying customers when the first batch of her jam and herbal teas sold out in less than an hour. She said wanted to wait until it is "completely stable and we have everything we need". Meghan has since shared a photo of jam-making preparations including bowls of strawberries, raspberries and blueberries, and freshly squeezed lemons, on her Instagram stories, writing: "'June gloom?' Not over here! Because this month your favourite products are back." Her official AsEver account also posted: "To all who've been wondering and waiting, thank you! "Your favorites are returning, plus a few NEW things we can't wait to show you. Coming this excited!" The Duchess's bonus Confessions Of A Female Founder episode with Knowles was recorded on May 5, the day before Prince Archie's sixth birthday. Meghan, who celebrated Princess Lilibet's fourth birthday on Wednesday by sharing previously unseen black and white family photographs of herself with her daughter, began selling her As Ever products in April. The range includes flower sprinkles, which she used liberally during her Netflix lifestyle show, and raspberry spread, a crepe mix, wildflower honey and an assortment of herbal teas. She renamed her brand from American Riviera Orchard after running into trademark issues. It comes after Meghan Markle shared heartwarming pictures of her daughter Lilibet to celebrate her fourth birthday. And Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz have reportedly hired Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's lawyer to help protect their reputations as their family feud escalates.
