Chloe Goodman was seen for the first time since revealing she was ‘ready to forgive’ sister Lauryn, as she enjoyed a stroll on the Brighton sea front on Sunday.
The model, 31, looked effortlessly stylish in a plunging leopard print dress which she teamed with a shades and a pair £300 Vivienne Westwood sandals.
The sister’s fall-out stemmed from Lauryn’s decision to go public about her affair with England and Manchester City footballer Kyle Walker.
Lauryn welcomed son Kairo, four, with Kyle while he was on a break from his wife Annie Kilner in 2019, but it was revealed in January this year he had also fathered a daughter, Kinara, who was born last summer.
Chloe then banned her big sister Lauryn from her wedding to her partner Grant Hall in June, and feared the pair would never speak again.

The model has now spoken out about their relationship in a new interview and weighed in on Lauryn’s High Court battle with Kyle after her list of financial demands were made public.
Speaking to The Sun, Chloe explained: ‘I don’t think it’s a case of forgiveness, it’s a case of timing. I’m not ready to sit down and discuss things with her yet.
‘I feel I would get emotional and angry and I could say things I might regret.’
She admitted that whilst she does visit Lauryn, who lives down the road, it is only when she is encouraged to do so by their mother and insists she still has not ‘properly spoken’ with her older sister.
She explained how she does so to ensure her children, Isla, four, and Hudson, two, have a relationship with their cousins.
Last week, the Mail revealed Chloe became increasingly concerned that Lauryn was struggling to cope with the pressure of the High Court battle with her footballer ex.
After the judge lifted reporting restrictions, she realised her sister’s list of demands would come out – including a £31,000 artificial sports pitch for her daughter and maintenance payments worth the equivalent of a £350,000 salary – and that Lauryn would now be exposed to a certain degree of ridicule.
Adding of her financial demands, Chloe said: ‘To me the demands showed she was angry and hurt and was going for the jugular. People are looking at this from the view of an ordinary household income and saying, “That’s a disgraceful amount of money.”‘

‘She feared it was all doing her so much damage that she just could not not be at her side as it all played out. She knows full well Lauryn can be her own worst enemy, and it became clear that her sister needed support to cope with what was going on.
‘Lauryn doesn’t have much of a support network, so Chloe decided it was time to start to find a way to bury the hatchet… Chloe knows Lauryn can be a nightmare but she’s her nightmare. She’s her sister.’
It was around three weeks ago that Chloe offered an olive branch to Lauryn – who’s well known among mutual friends for being stubborn.
Chloe proved she was a loyal sister, sticking up for Lauryn on Instagram when Apprentice star Luisa Zissman attacked her and backed Kyle’s wife Annie Kilner.
Luisa wrote: ‘So I know Kyle did the dirty, but his wife hasn’t deserved any of this circus. She has kept her dignity. Those kids were BRED for money. It’s a disgrace!’
Chloe responded by saying: ‘Please don’t speak about my niece and nephew in a bid to stay relevant.
‘Kyle, Annie and Lauryn are all at fault, no one of them [is] a victim … The children are the only innocent ones. Just to be clear, I won’t be dragged into a blame game with Kyle, Annie and Lauryn. I just want the children kept out of it.’
Lauryn was slammed by her Manchester City star ex for her ‘insatiable greed’ after a judge ruled in his favour – Chloe said: ‘To me the demands showed she was angry and hurt’
Kyle had been with his childhood sweetheart Annie Kilner at school. Lauyrn first met the footballer through her sister when they partied in the same circle as teenagers in London
A source told The Mail Chloe’s staunch defence was appreciated by Lauryn. The sisters’ lives were once very much intertwined.

They live on the same road and Chloe’s children, Isla and Hudson are very close to Kairo and Kinara – thanks to Lauryn and Chloe’s mother Karen ensuring the cousins’ relationship continued despite the rift between their mums.
It was through Chloe, a former glamour model and Celebrity Big Brother star that Lauryn first met Kyle.
And Chloe was one of the first people Lauryn told when she became pregnant with Kyle’s children Kairo and then Kinara.
When Chloe’s footballer husband Grant Hall proposed, she instantly asked Lauryn to be a bridesmaid at her Algarve wedding.
But as the big day drew nearer, Lauryn went public with the name of Kinara’s dad by messaging his wife Annie Kilner, despite Chloe begging her to keep it a secret until after the wedding. Quickly the story raged out of control. Chloe knew she had to make the most difficult decision of her life.
She told the Mail last month: ‘I was planning the final stages [of my wedding] when all of Lauryn’s mess was coming out. So in the end I had to choose. I had to make a big decision. I simply didn’t want the drama, which meant Lauryn couldn’t be there.’
Lauryn stayed five miles down the road with her children while the rest of her family gathered for the wedding. Lauryn admitted she felt ‘very sad’ about the ban.
