Lauryn Goodman’s daughter with Kyle Walker has been identified after the influencer left the High Court in London after losing her child support battle with the Manchester City and England footballer.
The 33-year-old social media personality welcomed daughter Kinara in August 2023, two years after giving birth to Walker’s son Kairo.
But while the name of his eldest son was revealed shortly after his public birth, that of his daughter was stoically withheld ahead of Goodman’s Supreme Court case against the footballer.
The child’s name has since been revealed, with Goodman apparently preferring another name that begins with the letter K.
Walker today criticized Goodman’s “insatiable greed” after a judge ruled in her favor in a high-stakes battle over child support due to financial payments for their upbringing.
Lauryn Goodman’s daughter with Kyle Walker has finally been identified after the influencer left the High Court in London after losing her child support battle with the footballer.
The Manchester City and England footballer said the extraordinary court ruling, revealed today, exposed the influencer’s “relentless pursuit of money”
The Manchester City and England footballer said the extraordinary court ruling, revealed today, exposed the influencer’s “relentless pursuit of money.”
In January it emerged that Walker, 34, who is married with four children, had fathered a daughter with Goodman, 33, four years after having a son together.
His wife Annie Kilner, 32, kicked him out of their £3.5million marital mansion in Cheshire and he rented a nearby property for £20,000 a month while he battled his marriage.
Both Walker and Goodman have since given their own revealing interviews to various newspapers, but strict court orders have kept the central plot of this lurid drama and the staggering amounts of money involved under wraps – until Tuesday.
A highly unusual decision, which followed legal submissions – including those made by the Mail – allowed restrictions on the reporting to be lifted, meaning its most striking details can be laid bare.
At the harsh sentencing, Walker, who earns about £160,000 a week and is known off the court as a rogue with a prying eye, emerged in renewed character after being described as “sensible and reasonable” by Judge Edward Hess.
Meanwhile, his former lover – who, it was revealed in court, was once prosecuted for benefit fraud and has just £10,000 in assets to her name – was criticised as a spendthrift who “spent money like it was going out of style” and treated Walker like “an open chequebook”.
It was Walker himself who summed up the situation: “If I were a painter and decorator I know this would not have gone this far,” he said.
Last month, Goodman appeared to poke fun at Walker’s current drama with fiancée Annie Kilner amid claims she had an affair with a guy when they split.

And a spokeswoman for Walker told MailOnline: “This sentence speaks volumes in exposing Lauryn Goodman’s insatiable greed and relentless pursuit of money.
‘The judge made it clear: she used Kyle as an open checkbook and threatened him repeatedly to get what she wanted.
He then orchestrated a media campaign to fuel an intolerable and unfair intrusion into the private lives of Kyle, Annie and their young family.
‘During each court proceeding, the judge affirmed that Kyle took a fair and generous stance. These proceedings were never necessary.
‘Kyle’s offer should have been accepted months ago and therefore would have eliminated the need for additional stress for everyone involved.
‘In light of this ruling and the truths it makes public, my client and his family now ask that the media fully respect their rights to privacy as they take their next steps.’
Goodman flaunted a large necklace with the pendant reading ‘KW’ in capital letters during her court battle in July.
The court heard Walker had met Kairo four times and Kinara once, with Judge Edward Hess ruling that Goodman “wished the relationship to develop further than it has”.

She added that Walker’s decision to “draw a line” on their relationship to focus on his marriage was a “source of disappointment, distress and anger” for Goodman, and that the footballer “does not currently plan to repeat” the “small number of fleeting encounters” he has had with his children.
In his testimony, Goodman said he did not want his children to be “different” from the children Walker had with his wife and that the money was to “secure my children’s future.”
She said: ‘He (Walker) has formed a bond with Kairo, who is now sitting there asking about his father. He doesn’t think about your situation and what Lauryn Goodman is having to deal with. The whole thing is just horrendous.’
She continued: “I would do anything for my son. If it meant that my son’s father could have a relationship with him, I would facilitate that.”
She said: ‘You ask for things and then you get ignored, and then you get put in this situation. He (Walker) doesn’t care.’
“He doesn’t think about your situation or what you’re facing.”

The court heard Goodman made several financial demands on Walker amounting to hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Walker has opposed some of the demands or argued they should be reduced, despite earning between £3m and £5m a year.
In her written submissions, Nichola Gray KC, representing Goodman, said: ‘This is a sum which will make a very significant difference to the lives of the mother and the children, but it is a sum which will make no difference at all to this father.
“This case is not about affordability. It is clear that the father has the means, and sufficient means, to satisfy each and every claim that the mother has made.”
She added that Kinara’s birth had “inevitably caused a radical shift in the daily childcare burden” that Goodman faces as a single mother, claiming that Walker “completely underestimates” the “task of juggling the needs of two children single-handedly.”
He continued: “Sadly, it is hard not to conclude that Goodman has taken advantage of his position and sees this as an opportunity to try to achieve a reward that goes far beyond the additional costs of a second child.”

The previous court battle over payments relating to the couple’s son resulted in Walker being ordered to pay various costs, including £8,000 monthly child support and more than £180,000 in lump sums.
He later also bought a £2.4m property in Sussex for Goodman and their children.
Gray said that under a court order issued in January this year, Walker was required to pay £7,000 a month in child support to Goodman for Kinara.
She said the footballer had been “repeatedly late” with nursery fees and had “unilaterally reduced” child support payments to £839 a month, accusing him of “arrogance”.
In response, Walker apologized and admitted that he “did make that deduction,” but “it didn’t leave Lauryn out of pocket” since she had overpaid in the previous two months.
He said: “I feel that in certain things, in all of this, I have been more than generous, more than I should have been or was ordered to be.”
He then added: “I have paid all the money they asked me for.”
Judge Hess ruled that Walker should not be penalized for the delays, which he described as “a mistake by the father.”
