Lauryn Goodman has broken her silence after Kyle Walker insisted they didn’t have a relationship and called fathering a second secret child with her an ‘idiot decision’.
In a rare interview about his personal life, Walker was close to tears on the weekend as he confessed his two-year marriage to Annie Kilner is in tatters after he was named as the father of Goodman’s five-month old daughter.
While he insisted the affair was not a proper relationship, Goodman, 33, was quick to claim the footballer was lying, taking to Instagram on Monday to share a post detailing the definition of a ‘pathological narcissist’, who spend their lives ‘lying’ and ‘gaslighting’ those around them.
Walker had claimed there was ‘no relationship’ between the pair, saying: ‘to have a relationship with someone… would she even know how many sugars I have in my coffee, if I have sugars? She couldn’t tell you.’
Yet the mother-of-two refuted this, sharing a ‘there are receipts’ meme while pointedly writing: ‘Flat white no sugars please’ in a nod to Walker’s comments.

Walker’s two-year marriage to Annie Kilner is in tatters after the Manchester City and England full-back was named as the father of influencer Goodman ‘s five-month old daughter
Walker, 33, had already fathered a son, three year-old Kairo, with Goodman following an earlier separation from Kilner in 2020.
Goodman had dropped hints at her daughter’s paternity to the public and reached out to Kilner, 30, via Instagram message just after Christmas to let her know that her husband was the father of her second child.
Walker then moved out from his family home in Cheshire and is spending enforced time away from his three children with Kilner, who is currently pregnant with their fourth.
He told The Sun: ‘What I’ve done is horrible and I take full responsibility. I made idiot choices and idiot decisions. I can’t begin to think or imagine what Annie is going through. I’ve tried to ask her but there’s pain and hurt.
‘The man that’s meant to love, care and be there for her, did this.’
Walker, who is expected to play a pivotal role for Gareth Southgate’s England at the European Championships in June, admits he wanted to ‘curl up in a ball’ after his relationship with Goodman came to light in January.
He added: ‘When I met Annie at 17, I never envisaged my private life being like this. I never thought I would be a father of six.
‘The only person to blame is me. I have roles and responsibilities that I’m aware of and I’ve made stupid choices. But I need to own up to my mistakes — I owe it to everyone.
‘My actions have caused a lot of pain to a lot of people. I’m sorry because, as a family, this isn’t meant to happen.’
In 2020 Goodman confirmed the father of her oldest child, son Kairo, was Walker and the footballer broke the news to his devastated wife hours before it went public.
He moved out of the family home to rental accommodation in nearby Hale, Cheshire before Kilner agreed to take him back, with Walker agreeing to sever all contact with Goodman beyond his ongoing financial commitments.
In August 2022 though Goodman revealed she was planning to relocate closer to Walker with son Kairo. Walker explained how he met her at a solicitors’ office to try to stop the move, which was when met his son for the first time and the couple resumed contact.

In early October 2022, the footballer travelled to London for groin surgery and met Goodman. He confirmed the pair ended up sleeping together.
Weeks later Goodman broke the news she was pregnant again, with Walker revealing he almost ‘fainted’ when she called during a training session.
Walker kept Goodman’s pregnancy a secret from his wife and has said it was Kilner’s own pregnancy which was ‘the straw that broke the camel’s back.’
While her footballer husband was away with his club, Goodman messaged Kilner on December 27 2023, revealing the truth about their relationship and the parentage of her second child.
Kilner, who is expecting her fourth child with the footballer, announced they would be separating earlier this month after 13 years.
The footballer has since moved out of their £2.5million home in Prestbury while Kilner remains at the property with their three sons.
‘My little boy goes to sleep with me every night and to not have him… I’m used to being away for long periods of time with England,’ he said, his voice breaking.
‘We say goodnight on FaceTime. But to know that I’m not with him because of my mistake – mistake is probably the wrong word, my choices – that’s what pains me.’
The split was confirmed days before revealed he was the father of Goodman’s daughter, known only as ‘KW’.

The 81-cap England international originally broke his silence by apologising to his wife for the ‘upset’ he’d caused her, a nod to his numerous cheating scandals.
Speaking on Sunday, he told The Sun: ‘How could I hurt someone I love so much? That’s something I need to find in myself.
‘I need to find out why I have done this and why situations have occurred. I am human and I’ve made mistakes on and off the field.’

can reveal that Walker is fighting to save his marriage. The pair tied the knot in November 2021, but he continues to live apart from his wife after she kicked him out of their £2.4million marital home.
He will be attending all of her future baby scans and continues to be present for their three children.

And Walker’s bid for a reconciliation with Kilner is further boosted by the fact she has yet to speak to any legal representatives about a future divorce.
A source close to the couple said: ‘Annie hasn’t spoken to one lawyer. At the moment, she’s concentrating on herself, her kids and ensuring her pregnancy runs smoothly.
‘The longer she goes without seeking legal assistance, it gives Kyle hope he can win her over again.’
Walker lavished Goodman with expensive gifts, whisked her away to five star hotels and even introduced her to his Manchester City team mates on FaceTime, has been told.
Walker, who has split from wife Kilner after she learned he had fathered Goodman’s daughter, also hoped that he could juggle both families without being caught out.
One friend of Goodman’s even claims he mistakenly called her Annie on the night their second child was conceived.
The new revelations come after sources close to Walker insisted that their affair was short lived and brief following the news that Annie is pregnant with their fourth child together.
However, friends of the influencer have hit back, saying that the relationship spanned some years.
The friend said: ‘Kyle and Lauryn did a lot together. There was one night that they went to London for a night out together and he paid for them to stay at the Four Seasons Hotel.

‘Kyle told Lauryn that he loved her and they spent a lot of time watching videos of Kairo together.
‘Then not long afterwards they went to Cheshire and stayed at an AirBnB for a week, on the banks of a lake. Annie was supposed to be away and the plan was for Kyle to be staying with him.
‘Annie didn’t go away though so Kyle had to go back and forth every day, though Annie kept questioning him about his whereabouts. It was like a family trip with Kairo and of course there was a lot of romance.’
Walker, who has three sons with Kilner, also paid for Goodman to go to the Maldives with Kairo while she was expecting their daughter.
A source added: ‘There was lots of FaceTiming between him and Lauryn, there was even phone sex together.
‘Lauryn was pregnant and was sending him bump and scan pics. They already knew that Lauryn was expecting a girl as they had done an early scan.’

Walker also allegedly funded a trip to Cancun in Mexico for Goodman and their son.
Sources also say that far from trying to keep Goodman a secret, he introduced her to his team mates Jack Grealish and Phil Foden while they were away in Europe celebrating Manchester City winning the treble.
A friend told : ‘After they won there was obviously a lot of excitement, they were away partying so they were all on a high. Then Kyle FaceTimed Lauryn while he was with Jack Grealish and Phil Foden.
‘Lauryn was taken aback. Phil went onto the phone and saw Kairo. He commented to Kyle about how beautiful he is.’
While away with England last summer, Walker also FaceTimed Goodman to say: ‘I love you, but sometimes you make me hate you.’
Their relationship was so strong that during the World Cup in Qatar which took place in November- December 2022 shortly after Goodman became pregnant for the second time, Walker FaceTimed Goodman on a daily basis from the team hotel – on one occasion after an evening with his teammates he told her that he loved her.

He took a World Cup football home for Kairo and bought him a £700 Moncler jacket for Christmas and last April he bought Kairo an iPad and several outdoor toys for his birthday, the source added.
Sources close to Goodman also claim that Walker would say to her that he would want to get ‘everything in place for all of the kids.’ At one point he told her: ‘Money isn’t everything for me. My life is over.’
Walker, who is living in a flat close to his family home in Prestbury, Cheshire, would also beg Goodman to keep their secret romance – and their children quiet.
The friend said: ‘Kyle would say to Lauryn that it should stay between the two of them, that they had done that in the past and it is best for everyone if it is kept quiet.
‘Kyle promised to be there for Lauryn and that he would juggle the two families.
‘Lauryn would often tell him to leave her alone, that he was only around when he wanted something. The whole thing is a mess.’
Walker and Kilner married in secret in 2021 after a decade together. They have three sons.
Announcing their separation in January, Kilner told Instagram followers: ‘Sadly, after many years of marriage and three wonderful children together, I have decided to take some time away from Kyle.
‘I do not wish to comment on the position any further. For now, I ask that the privacy of myself and my three young children be respected during this difficult time.’
It is understood that both are now both being represented by PR guru Rachel Monk, who helped guide Coleen Rooney through her High Court trial with Rebekah Vardy.
Kilner has also enlisted the services of litigator and sports lawyer Paul Lunt.
