She is said to be eyeing up a move to Dubai this year with her children, Kairo and Kinara, as Closer previously reported. But while Lauryn Goodman is gearing up for a change of scenery, there is one part of her life that she intends to keep stagnant.
An insider close to the mum-of-two – who celebrates her 34th birthday this month – says, ‘Lauryn has been celibate for just over a year now. It’s not uncommon for her, as she did the same after having Kairo. She has recently returned to [dating app] Raya as she used to have it a few years ago, but she dips in and out and doesn’t take it seriously. Lauryn does get quite a lot of attention – and from some big names – but she never has the time to reply.
‘She has been so scarred that she isn’t really thinking about dating right now, as she really wants to move away. Her children are her main priority and always will be. She is so busy with them.’
This time last year, it was sensationally revealed that Manchester City footballer Kyle Walker, 34, had secretly fathered a second child with influencer Lauryn, while his wife Annie Kilner was pregnant with their fourth son. Lauryn welcomed daughter Kinara in June 2023, three years after becoming a mum to son Kairo following a brief relationship with Kyle when he was said to be on a break with Annie, 32.
While childhood sweethearts Kyle and Annie – who are parents to Roman, 13, Riann, eight, Reign, six, and eight-month-old Rezon – have been on and off over the years, it appeared that becoming a father out of wedlock was the straw that broke the camel’s back, as Annie served Kyle with divorce papers in October.
But over the Christmas period, Annie sparked confusion when she was photographed with her wedding ring on, and Kyle – who is signed to the same PR agency as Annie – later fuelled reconciliation rumours when he shared an Instagram photo of the couple with their sons in matching Christmas pyjamas.
Meanwhile, after it was revealed that Kyle hadn’t sent any presents to his children with Lauryn, she responded to a fan on Instagram who wrote, ‘Did “that” even attempt to buy the kids [anything] for Christmas or even a card or does the ball and chain not allow?’ with the reply, ‘You said it...’.
And now, a source says, ‘Lauryn isn’t bothered whether Kyle and Annie stay together or divorce, it doesn’t affect her. She just wants the best for her children, as any mother would. It was inevitably going to happen because Kyle always knows exactly what to say to win them back. It’s what he’s good at, and he’s done it so many times.’
