Lauryn Goodman in tears as she makes jibe at Kyle Walker for not seeing the kids in her new tell-all podcast
Lauryn Goodman, became a household name herself after her affair with Kyle Walker was exposed, now she’s revealing all.
The 33-year-old has two children with the football star and recently started her own podcast to discuss single parenthood.
In the second episode of Yours Sincerely, Lauryn was in tears as she discussed the impact it had on her children, Kairo and Kinara.
While Lauryn remained tight-lipped about the father of her children for years, her first being born in 2020, it soon came out that it was in fact Kyle Walker who has four children with his wife Annie Kilner.
Her 13-month-old daughter Kinara was also fathered by Kyle whose partner Annie Kilner was also pregnant with his child.
But Lauryn is navigating parenthood alone and revealed the issues she and her son has faced now he’s at nursery and has claimed Kyle has nothing to do with their children.
On his first day of school Lauryn says he acted like a ‘proper gentlemen’ going up to other kids telling them it was lovely to meet them before skipping into class.
But Lauryn and her co-host and close friend Lisa Andrews discussed how Kyle had ‘no idea’ it was his son’s first day of school as Lauryn said she doesn’t ‘keep him in the loop’.
The mum says she struggles with some of the tasks the class has put forward, in particular, an assignment on family.
“I’ll tell you why I welled up today,” says Lauryn.
She explained they had an assignment to do over the summer holidays, a book about family and what the children did over the holidays so they could talk to classmates about it.
She asked the teacher what the best move was for the book – whether she should include pictures of Kyle and his family or completely avoid the subject.
“I don’t want Kairo, I don’t even want to get upset,” she said as her voice broke and tears formed in her eyes.
“I don’t want Kairo to sit there in class while everyone is getting there book out with their family and their dad and for him to feel some type of way when those children are obviously talking about their family.”
She opted to keep the photos out, instead including images of Kyle’s parents taking the kids to the zoo.
But she revealed the tough dilemma she faced as Kairo had begun to ask questions about his dad.
Kyle Walker's sit-down interview with The Sun
By Paul Sims
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.”
“I just don’t want to give him any abandonment issues,” she explained as she navigated giving him the right information.
Lauryn took their eldest son, Kairo, to Germany to watch his dad play for England in the Euros this year but left early telling the Daily Mail: “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.”
Lauryn has also been locked in a year long feud with her sister Chloe Goodman and was even excluded from her wedding to footballer Grant Hall last year.
It is thought that the once close sisters became estranged over the revelation that Kyle had also fathered Lauryn’s second child, who was born in 2023, while he was still married to Annie.
