Lauryn Goodman looked downcast as she stepped out on Thursday after Kyle Walker and his estranged wife Annie Kilner put on a united display over Christmas.
The influencer, 33, was on a New Year coffee run after a tumultuous 2024 which saw her and Kyle embroiled in another paternity scandal.
Kyle, 34, was kicked out of the family home after secretly fathering a second child with his ex Lauryn, with the influencer telling Annie, also 33, on December 27 last year.
His estranged wife served Kyle with divorce papers in October and if she is to proceed he will face a mammoth battle for his £27million fortune.
But it appears all could be forgiven as on Thursday Kyle posted a snap with Annie and their four kids in matching pyjamas.
And soon after Lauryn was seen out and about, wearing a cream cardigan and tight black leggings.

She completed her casual outfit with black boots and a designer leather bag while sweeping her brunette tresses up.
It comes after Kyle and Annie made a very public statement as they rang in the New Year together.
The couple were seen wearing matching pyjamas in the Instagram update with their sons Roman, 12, Riaan, eight, Reign, six, and five-month-old Rezon.
Sharing the new snap to his Story on Sunday, Kyle wrote: ‘Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.’
The couple seem to have put their £15million divorce battle to one side for the moment, in a bid to spend Christmas and New Year together as a family.
Kyle, as well as his four children with Annie, shares a son, Kairo, four, and a daughter, Kinara, 18-months, with Lauryn.
A fellow football WAG who is close to the family told last month: ‘Kyle and Annie are putting their marital problems aside to celebrate Christmas with their children.
‘They are the pairs’ priority and they want to be able to bring Christmas joy into the household for their young family.

‘This involves having both parents there. Whilst Annie bears the brunt of looking after the family, Kyle is hands on with his four boys and they adore him.
‘The talks continue between the two at what their future looks like but for now it’s all about their children and what is best for them.
‘Annie is a strong woman who just wants to see her boys happy, she will do anything for them but she hasn’t forgotten what Kyle has done. This is about the kids, and the kids only.’
Meanwhile, it was revealed by Lauryn that the football ace didn’t get any Christmas presents for their children, Kairo and Kinara.
The reality star also hit out at Annie by re-posting a message from a fan branding Kyle’s estranged wife his ‘ball and chain’.
During an Instagram Q&A she was asked: ‘Did ‘that’ even attempt to buy the kids for Christmas or even a card or does the ball and chain not allow?’
Lauryn replied: ‘You said it…’
Just hours later on Monday, Annie shared her ‘biggest blessing’ on Instagram as she looked back at 2024.
The WAG uploaded a sweet photo from earlier this year as she cradled her newborn baby Rezon sleeping on her chest in bed.
She simply wrote: ‘Out biggest blessing joined us in 2024’.
It comes as Kyle is hoping that Lauryn will stop ‘goading’ him on social media in the new year as he claims the reality star is using his name to stay in the spotlight.
The footballer has seemingly hit back amid backlash after it was revealed he didn’t send their two children Christmas presents this year.
While the footballer didn’t give Kairo or Kinara any presents, Kyle is committed to supporting them financially.
An insider told : ‘Kyle’s never been involved in the kids’ celebrations and not brought gifts, except for a coat for Kairo a few years ago.
‘The latest story seems like Lauryn using his name to stay in the spotlight.’

They added: ‘He’s not part of Lauryn’s kids’ daily lives but supports them financially—paying for their house, school, and more.
‘Kyle and Annie just want to put all this behind them in 2025 and move on without the drama. They hope that Lauryn will do the same instead of goading them on social media.’
A source close to Lauryn added: ‘Lauryn has been getting on with her life with the children making sure they are shielded even though it has been tough for them especially Kairo who asks for his daddy.
‘It’s really sad that he isn’t stepping up for all of his children and you would’ve thought he learnt that lesson from not doing it the first time round.’
Lauryn shared a heartwarming photo of her children enjoying a pile of presents at Christmas.
The reality star posted the image on her Instagram, showing her children, Kairo and Kinara, approaching a Christmas tree surrounded by a stack of gifts.
She wrote: ‘Merry Christmas To You All. The best little day with my babies. It’s all about making memories.
‘@kairowalker has had me assembling his new goal outside and @kinarawalker has skipped her nap as there is way too much going on for her to miss out on anything.
‘Not sure why but it’s still early …ish and I am absolutely shattered. Even more so than usual. Anyone else?’
She also added that she knew Christmas could be lonely for some, so passed on her love.

Lauryn didn’t comment further on the alleged absence of Kyle’s contribution but focused on creating a festive atmosphere for her kids, sharing snippets of their celebrations with her followers.
Annie kicked Kyle out of the marital home in January this year after learning that he had fathered daughter Kinara, his second child by influencer Lauryn.
She allowed him to be there for the birth of their fourth son Rezon this spring, and after a harmonious family summer holiday let him live with them again in September.
Kyle did spend time at their home with the kids on Christmas Day, but the couple are not fully reconciled.
