Lauryn Goodman has revealed she has “no regrets” about her romance with footballer Kyle Walker.
The Manchester City star, who shares four children with wife Annie Kilner, was embroiled in a paternity scandal earlier this year when it was revealed he had fathered a second child with Lauryn.
It was dramatically revealed that he was the father of Lauryn’s second child, 13-month-old Kinara, four years after they welcomed a son, Kairo.
In her first television interview since the news broke, an emotional Lauryn insisted that, despite the furor, she has no regrets.
She reflected: “I can’t say I have any because my children are my world. They wouldn’t be here…”
Lauryn Goodman revealed she has “no regrets” about her fling with Kyle Walker as she spoke about the fallout during Monday’s episode of This Morning.

Lauryn went on to claim that she appeared on E4’s Celebs Go Dating to share her side of the story, adding that it was “healing” for her.
She shared: ‘I was doubting whether it was the right time to go on Celebs Go Dating. I just wanted to come back and heal from everything…
“It was a very intense process and I was very nervous about it.”
When asked by host Ben Shephard why she was appearing on a reality show after claiming she wanted to keep her children away from further attention, she replied: ‘I think I’ve always been, since I was 23, I’ve been in the public eye, but my kids’ faces are private on Instagram.
‘We live a private life in the sense that people don’t know what we do, but as far as the spotlight goes, yes, of course, everything has come out into the light.’
Asked how he would talk to his children about the matter in the future, he admitted: “I don’t know.”
‘I didn’t know I was going to have a second child, I’ll just have to take it day by day.
“I have an easy story because his father is going to watch football. I will always have to tell them the truth, but not now.”
In July, Lauryn and Kyle were involved in a court battle over child support.
The footballer criticised Lauryn’s “insatiable greed” after a judge ruled in his favour, adding that the influencer used him as an “open checkbook” and “repeatedly threatened him to get what she wanted”.
Tensions don’t seem to have eased since then, with Lauryn admitting she has “no relationship” with the athlete at present.
“Everything is sorted out through lawyers,” he admitted. “It’s very difficult, Kairo is asking about his father, it’s just a matter of trying to deal with it. As long as I put them first, I feel like my conscience is clear.”
She added that she is not “listening to the outside noise” after being vilified by trolls.
Lauryn shared: ‘I block it out. It’s not easy to do, but I have to figure it out and make sure I’m the best version of myself to give to my kids.’
When presenter Cat Deeley suggested that it’s often women who bear the brunt of the blame in cases of infidelity, Lauryn reflected: “I understand what you mean and that’s been the hard part.”
‘But I try to ignore it and just focus on my children because I can’t do anything else.
“You can’t force people to see what you went through. I know the truth.”
Asked how she would talk to her children – four-year-old son Kairo and 13-month-old daughter Kinara – about the issue, she mused: “I don’t know.”
Kyle is considering applying for a harassment order against Lauryn to protect the four young children he has with wife Annie, friends of the Manchester City star have claimed.
Mother-of-two Lauryn, who was called “difficult, unreasonable and demanding” by a judge during her child support battle with Walker last month, often attacks her ex and his family on social media for the world to see.
Walker is now said to be taking matters into his own hands by contacting his lawyers over the posts, a source told The Mirror, adding that the star is desperate to protect the four children he has with Annie.
Two law firms have reportedly informed him that he has grounds for taking action and that the footballer is “carefully considering his options”.
In the couple’s child support battle last month, which Goodman lost, the judge accused the reality TV star of using Walker as an “open checkbook.”
Judge Edward Hess also criticized Goodman for deliberately causing distress to Kyle’s wife.
However, since the sentencing, things have only gotten worse for the footballer, according to the source.
“The situation has gotten worse, with stories appearing every day and Lauryn posting regularly on her social media,” the source told The Mirror.
“It’s become impossible for Annie and the kids to ignore it.”
They added: “(Walker) is being advised of his best options, although he really does not want to have to take steps like this.”
Walker shares two children with Goodman: four-year-old Kairo and one-year-old Kinara.
Annie had already kicked Walker out of their £3.5million family home in Cheshire after discovering he had fathered a second child with Goodman.
But Walker is said to have been at Annie’s side in April when she gave birth to her fourth child, whom the couple named Rezón.
Annie announced in January that she was taking “some time away” from her marriage, but they are now said to be working through their issues.
