Kyle Walker’s ex Lauryn Goodman shares cryptic message about ‘taking power back’ after City star shunned her at Euros
KYLE Walker’s ex Lauryn Goodman has shared a cryptic message after she was shunned by the City star at this year’s Euros.
Lauryn, who has two kids with the ace defender, flew out to Germany for England’s second group match against Denmark where security were on high alert to keep her away from wife Annie Kilner.
She jetted out with her and Walker’s son Kairo, who wore a Three Lions’ No2 shirt personalised “Daddy”.
Lauryn, 33, claimed the England star offered her tickets to the matches this tournament, something his team have vehemently denied.
And in the latest bitter jibe towards Walker, Lauryn shared a quote to her Instagram story about “taking power back”.
The post read: “I was extremely sad for how someone treated me, but then I remembered how kind I am to people, that’s a reflection of me.
“How people treat me is a projection of their character, and not a reflection of my value.
“May I always remember that I’m taking my power back.”
It comes after the influencer started a secret relationship with Walker in 2019 after splitting up from football agent Dane Rashford.
When Walker was confirmed to be the dad of Lauryn’s second child, wife Annie threw him out of their Manchester home.
At the time, Annie was expecting their fourth child.
But following the birth of son Rezon in April, a friend told The Sun: “Having their son has made Kyle and Annie think about their relationship and they are committed to working on it together.”
Pals said Annie was keen for Walker to remain a stable fixture in their family’s life.
They added: “While they are still navigating their relationship as a couple, Annie would never stop Kyle from spending time with their children.”
Annie has been flying back and forth for each Euros clash with her sons rather than staying in a hotel with the other Wags.
The mum-of-four was beaming from the stands with the couple’s fourth child, two-month-old Rezon, ahead of what was a dramatic match on Sunday.
The security team looking after England’s Wags were previously warned to keep an eye out for Lauryn at the game against Denmark two weeks ago.
A source at the time said: “Lauryn is seen as a bit of a troublemaker and Annie’s worst nightmare was running into her.
“There was talk of Lauryn’s seats being less than 100 metres away. Annie wants absolutely nothing to do with her.
“The security team were aware of Lauryn’s presence and were primed to make sure she couldn’t get anywhere near the Wags’ area.
“Lauryn is a blagger and a chancer, and they were worried she might be able to talk her way in.
“But given the sensitivities around it, she was kept well away.”
Lauryn revealed to the Daily Mail that she and Kairo left the stadium five minutes before the end of the match to avoid an awkward situation.
Lauryn said: “We left five minutes early to avoid Kairo being upset and confused that his daddy went over to his siblings but not him.
“It would have been so sad for him and I wasn’t going to risk that.”
Kyle Walker's sit-down interview with The Sun

ENGLAND ace Kyle Walker admitted in January he made “idiot choices and idiot decisions” over his secret child and bitterly regrets betraying soulmate wife Annie.
In a sit-down interview with The Sun, this is what he said.
“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.
“There have been days in this ordeal where I’ve just wanted to curl up in a ball and go to sleep.
“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.
“I am a private man but I accept that I am a public figure and I need to address what I’ve done.
“It hasn’t helped that it has been played out in the media. But I’ve chosen to speak now in the hope that I can at least explain myself and enable my wife and children to have the privacy they so desperately need and deserve.
“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.
“In football I’ve achieved more than what I ever thought I would achieve. But to personally hurt what I truly believe is my best friend, that’s what hurts a lot.
“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.
“The ones off the field are definitely more damaging and have been more hurtful to me.
“Football has been my life since I was six but my family comes before anything on this planet. At the moment, they’re hurting enormously.
“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.
“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.”
