Lauryn Goodman recently opened up about her controversial affair with footballer Kyle Walker, stating that she holds no regrets. Kyle, a Manchester City star with four children from his marriage to Annie Kilner, became embroiled in a paternity scandal earlier this year when it was revealed that he fathered another child, Kinara, with Lauryn. This revelation came four years after the birth of their first child together, Kairo.
In her first television appearance since the news broke, Lauryn shared her thoughts during an emotional interview on This Morning, asserting that despite the public uproar, she does not regret her actions. She said, “I can’t have any regrets because my children are everything to me. They wouldn’t be here if things had gone differently.”
Kyle Walker’s affair with Lauryn Goodman continues to impact his family dynamics and public image
When asked how she plans to address the situation with her children in the future, Lauryn acknowledged that she is unsure. “I really don’t know. I wasn’t expecting to have a second child, so I’ll have to figure it out as we go along.”
Lauryn also revealed that joining E4’s Celebs Go Dating was part of her healing journey following the affair. The reality show, where celebrities seek love with non-celebrities, provided Lauryn with a platform to move forward. Reflecting on her participation, she said, “I wasn’t sure if it was the right moment, but others encouraged me to take this opportunity to begin healing and focus on myself.”
She also addressed concerns about her children’s privacy, explaining that although they live relatively private lives, she still faces public attention. Lauryn emphasized that her children’s faces remain unseen on social media, but the family has always been in the public eye.
On the topic of her relationship with Kyle, Lauryn revealed that they do not communicate directly, instead handling matters through legal representation. She admitted that the situation is difficult, especially when her son Kairo asks about his father. However, she emphasized that her priority is her children’s well-being and maintaining her peace of mind.
Host Ben Shephard disclosed that Lauryn chose not to comment on the legal aspects of her ongoing child maintenance battle with Kyle but did share a statement from Kyle’s legal team. The statement criticized Lauryn for unnecessarily escalating the situation and stressed Kyle’s desire for privacy moving forward.
Lauryn conceded that the outcome wasn’t what she had hoped for, expressing a desire that the matter could have been handled privately. Despite the ongoing tensions, she remains hopeful that in the future, they can co-parent amicably for the sake of their children.
Recent reports suggest Kyle may be considering a harassment order against Lauryn to protect his family from ongoing media scrutiny. Legal advisors have allegedly told him that he has grounds to take action, as the situation continues to escalate due to Lauryn’s social media activity and regular media coverage.
In light of their complicated past, Annie Kilner previously asked Kyle to leave their home after learning about his affair with Lauryn. However, in April, Kyle was reportedly present when Annie gave birth to their fourth son, and the couple is said to be working through their marital difficulties.
