Kyle Walker has sparked a furious row with Lauryn Goodman after claiming she was given a series of “unrealistic” demands to ensure the paternity of her baby daughter remained a secret.
The married Manchester City and England full-back confirmed he was the father of Goodman’s daughter in January, while his unconscious wife Annie Kilner was pregnant with their fourth child.
Walker, 33, had already had a son, Kairo, now three, with Goodman after embarking on a brief relationship with the influencer during a previous split from Kilner in 2020.
Friends now claim that Goodman gave him a series of stern ultimatums to ensure his secret family remained out of public view, allegations that have since been disputed.
A source told MailOnline: ‘Lauryn made three demands on Kyle while he hid the fact she had the second baby.
Kyle Walker has sparked a furious row with Lauryn Goodman after claiming she was given a series of “unrealistic” demands to ensure the paternity of her baby daughter remained a secret.
Friends now claim that Goodman gave him a series of stern ultimatums to ensure his secret family remained out of public view, allegations that have since been disputed.
‘She told him he wasn’t allowed to buy a bigger house with Annie and the children and that he couldn’t have another baby with Annie.
‘She also wanted him to put his money in a trust fund so she could have an equal share and still receive what he was already paying her if it came to light.
“These unrealistic demands and expectations continue to arise, but since she no longer has access to Kyle, they are often broadcast across media platforms.”
However, Goodman claims the footballer, who earns £160,000 a week at Manchester City, had voluntarily saved money for his future, before turning his back on him.
“She didn’t ask him to hide money,” a friend told MailOnline. “She said that was what she was doing and then she promised him they would be together later.”
Kilner gave birth to the couple’s fourth child, a boy, on April 16, and friends say she and Walker are now trying to build bridges for the sake of their family.
That includes a likely trip to Germany in the summer, where Walker is likely to play a key role in England manager Gareth Southgate’s plans for the upcoming UEFA European Championship.

Walker admitted she wanted to “curl up” after her relationship with Goodman (pictured) came to light in January.
A source added: ‘Annie has recovered and is feeling well following the birth of her fourth child. She has been enjoying the special time with him and was seen looking great with her friends.
“Kyle is looking forward to a summer full of football commitments and is focused on what he needs to do on the field as he always has. Annie and the boys will support him at all times.
The footballer has lived in a rented house away from the family home since January, but the couple, who already share children Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, and Reign, five, have continued to co-parent.
The couple will now do their best to put any fighting behind them as they look to the future in a bid to stay together for their young family.
A source close to the couple said Mirror: ‘Kyle and Annie are delighted and anything from the past is not important right now.
The couple is said to have reconciled after the birth of their fourth child.

‘They are focusing on their four children as they take priority over everything. Yes, they have had obstacles, and Kyle has accepted that he was wrong, but they just want his children to come first.
“He has been recovering from injury and captained England and Manchester City, while being on hand to support Annie after they welcomed the little one.”
Walker’s two-year marriage to Kilner, whom she met as a teenager and describes as her “soulmate”, was thought to be in tatters after he was named the father of Goodman’s six-month-old daughter.
In a rare interview about his personal life, the 82-year-old England footballer was close to tears as he reflected on moving away from his family home in Cheshire and spending forced time away from his children.
He admitted he wanted to “curl up in a ball” after his relationship with Lauryn came to light in January.
He said Sun: ‘What I have done is horrible and I take full responsibility. I made idiotic decisions and idiotic decisions. I can’t begin to think or imagine what Annie is going through. I tried to ask him but there is pain and pain.
“The man who should love her, care for her and be there for her, did this.”
He added: “When I met Annie at 17, I never imagined my private life would be like this. I never thought I would be the father of six children.
‘The only one to blame is me. I have roles and responsibilities that I am aware of and I have made stupid decisions. But I need to acknowledge 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 should not happen.”
