The fledgling romance between British tennis ace Jack Draper and social media influencer Lauryn Goodman has ended before it even had chance to properly begin, with the pair going their separate ways after just a single date.
Celebrity Matchmaking Gone Wrong
The unlikely pairing connected through Raya, the exclusive celebrity dating app favoured by stars seeking privacy, but their connection failed to spark despite high hopes. Sources close to the situation reveal the 22-year-old tennis prodigy decided to call time on their brief encounter, leaving Goodman unexpectedly single again.
From Court to Courtship
Draper, currently ranked among Britain's most promising tennis talents, apparently swiped right on Goodman, known for her high-profile relationship with footballer Kyle Walker. The match seemed promising on paper, bringing together two figures from different spheres of British celebrity culture.
"They met through Raya and went on one date, but Jack decided he didn't want to take things further," an insider disclosed. "It's a shame as they got on well, but sometimes the spark just isn't there."
The Exclusive World of Raya Romance
The dating app that brought them together remains one of the most elusive digital spaces for celebrity connections, with a rigorous application process and reputation for housing A-list members. Despite the platform's prestige, even Raya's algorithm couldn't manufacture chemistry between the tennis star and the influencer.
Goodman, who shares two children with Manchester City defender Walker, has maintained her silence about the brief dalliance, while Draper continues to focus on his ascending tennis career.
Back to Business
For Draper, the romantic false start comes as he prepares for upcoming tournaments, with his professional sights set on climbing the ATP rankings. Meanwhile, Goodman returns to her busy life as an influencer and mother, her foray into tennis romance ending as quickly as it began.
The brief encounter serves as another reminder that even celebrity status and exclusive dating apps offer no guarantees when it comes to matters of the heart.
