Lauryn Goodman has taken aim at feckless boyfriends in her latest Instagram post, shared as her ex-partner Kyle Walker prepares for the birth of his fifth child with wife Annie Kilner. The former England footballer will welcome a 'new addition' to his family with pregnant Kilner later this year, marking his seventh child overall. This includes two children with Goodman, one of whom was born out of wedlock.
Goodman's Viral Instagram Trend
The influencer, who raises their son Kairo, four, and daughter Kinara, two, alone, appeared to mock cheating partners while participating in a viral trend currently sweeping social media. In the post, she lip-syncs a melodic text exchange with a friend, where one person is supposedly hiding in a lover's room after his girlfriend returns home. Goodman, 34, captioned the post: 'It’s a little messy. Had way too much fun filming this.'
Walker's Court Battle and Family Life
Premier League ace Walker, now playing for relegated Burnley, won a court battle against Goodman in July 2024 after a judge ruled in his favour in a high-stakes child maintenance case. The full-back shares four children with wife Kilner and was embroiled in a paternity scandal after it emerged he had fathered a second child with Goodman. He was revealed as the father of Goodman's second child, four years after they welcomed their son Kairo.
Chance Encounter at a Restaurant
In a recent chance encounter, it was revealed that both Walker and Goodman were dining at the same restaurant in central London in December. They were spotted with separate parties at the upmarket establishment Bagatelle in Mayfair, 18 months after their court case. A source told The Sun: 'Everyone around them was watching. Annie's friends were at the other side of the bar but word quickly got round.' Meanwhile, sources at Bagatelle told the Daily Mail: 'Kyle appeared relaxed as he chatted with friends at the restaurant, before leaving them to continue the celebrations after around 15 minutes. Luckily, their table was well away from Lauryn’s, who stayed on after Kyle left, avoiding any chance of a surprise encounter.'
Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Walker and Goodman for further comment.
Walker and Kilner's Reconciliation
The footballer and his wife are said to be in a good place after previous divorce fears. Daily Mail previously revealed how the pair were back together and enjoyed a family trip with their children to Florida in June last year. A source said at the time: 'They are back together. This wasn't a 'make-or-break' holiday. It was a proper family trip where they were back together as man and wife. They flew off - leaving the dogs at home to look after the house - and they were determined to have a great time. Annie was obviously devastated and very, very angry about what Kyle did, so she threw him out for six months. After he moved back in they tried and tried. It was a hard process. Deep down, they both knew that they wanted to be together - but there were so many distractions.'
Goodman's Christmas Message
Over the festive period, Goodman took to Instagram to share snaps from her Christmas Day with her children. Alongside the festive snaps, she wrote: 'Proof that the best moments are the quiet ones at home. Super grateful for these two! Moments like these. Mrs Claus made an appearance. Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas. I know it can be tough for people and it’s definitely a heavy time of the year. I know being a single mum means being everyone’s safe place while carrying it all alone. Full hearts for our kids, empty cups behind the scenes and we still show up. Every time. We do it for them and they’ll appreciate it all. Privacy is power. Access is earned not given.. What people don’t know they can’t ruin…'
