She revealed that she hoped to reconcile with Kyle Walker in an exclusive Christmas interview with Closer last week. And now insiders say Lauryn Goodman is considering a huge life decision that would no doubt impact her relationship with the father of her kids even further.
The Celebs Go Dating star, 33, is considering relocating to Dubai with Kairo, four, and 18-month-old Kinara, which would undoubtedly put pressure on Manchester City footballer Kyle, 34, who allegedly hasn’t seen his children since he was revealed to be Kinara’s father.
The insider says, ‘Lauryn wants to go to Dubai for many reasons. The reality is that a lot has changed for her. She isn’t as close with her sisters and doesn’t speak to one of them at all, so has been looking at Dubai as a potential move. She just feels it’s the best option for them to grow as a family, as it’s a place they all love to visit and they have so many lovely memories over there already.
‘Lauryn hasn’t really thought about how it would work with Kyle. A move to Dubai would no doubt put him under a bit of pressure. But Lauryn gave up so much of her time trying to sustain a relationship with him for their children due to his football commitments, that she is mindful not to put his needs at the forefront again.’
The influencer has been a regular fixture in the headlines ever since she welcomed Kairo with Kyle in 2019. Their son is believed to have been conceived during Kyle’s brief split from wife Annie Kilner, 32, with whom he shares four sons, Roman, 13, Riann, eight, Reign, five, and eight-month-old Rezon.
But in January, it emerged that Kyle had also fathered Kinara – who was born in June 2023 – with Lauryn. And while the Premier League star publicly apologised to his wife and the couple seemed to try to work through the affair, they called it quits in October.
Annie – who tied the knot with long-term love Kyle in secret in 2021 after Kairo was born – filed for divorce, although she was recently pictured with her wedding ring on, sparking confusion about the state of their marriage.
Lauryn admitted to Closer that she hopes everyone can ‘move forward and do right by the children’, and the insider says that, while Kyle would likely be stunned and think a Dubai move is out of the question, his former lover’s priority is their children.
The source says, ‘Lauryn is keeping tight-lipped about whether she has contact with Kyle. After the year she’s had, she wants to try to keep things as private as possible. She has tried her best throughout the year to shield their children from any heartache, but she could only do so much.
‘A lot has happened between Kyle and Lauryn. Deep down, they know they can trust each other when other people aren’t involved.’
