Manchester City star Kyle Walker is currently entangled in a legal dispute with his on-again, off-again mistress, Lauryn Goodman, over their two children: son Kairo and their infant daughter.
Lauryn Goodman has accused the 34-year-old England footballer of breaking a promise made to their son, Kairo. According to the reality star, Walker told the four-year-old during a FaceTime call from the World Cup in Qatar that he could come watch him play for England in Germany during the Euros. However, Walker, now a father of six, denies making such a promise.
Goodman brought Kairo to the Euros, where he wore a ‘Daddy’ football top in support of Walker. Despite this, Lauryn claimed in court that Walker has “never met” their baby daughter, whose name has not been disclosed.
Initially, when Lauryn announced her second pregnancy, she hinted that another footballer was the father. However, it was later confirmed that Kyle is the father of both her children. The revelation of their daughter’s paternity reportedly led to the end of Walker’s marriage to Annie, who publicly announced their separation in January. Following Annie’s statement about taking time away from their marriage, Walker explained the unusual circumstances that led to fathering a second child with Lauryn.
Walker claimed he intended to limit his contact with Lauryn to financial matters concerning their son. But by August 2022, Lauryn announced plans to move closer to Walker’s family home, 245 miles from Brighton. This prompted Walker to meet her at a solicitor’s office in an attempt to stop the move. During this meeting, Walker met his son Kairo for the first time, which reignited contact between him and Lauryn behind his wife’s back. In October 2022, Walker met Lauryn again in London while recovering from groin surgery.
Reflecting on his affair, Walker admitted to The Sun: “It wasn’t intentional or premeditated, but I slept with her. A lot was going on. It’s not an excuse. I’d ruptured my groin, and I had a World Cup to get fighting fit for.”
There have been claims that Annie has banned Walker from seeing the children he shares with Lauryn. However, Annie’s representative told the Mirror that these claims are false. “Sources close to the couple saying that Annie has banned Kyle from seeing Lauryn’s children is simply untrue. The way Lauryn has behaved towards Annie and her children has made it impossible for Kyle to forge an emotional relationship with them without protecting the privacy of his own family. Kyle provides for Lauryn’s children financially and will continue to do so.”
