Lauryn Goodman has given a heartfelt and defiant response following a recent courtroom defeat in her high-profile legal battle with footballer Kyle Walker. The 33-year-old influencer expressed deep frustration and sadness, revealing that she feels her children are being unfairly sidelined in the dispute.
Goodman, who shares two children with Walker—Kairo, four, and Kinara, one—had sought financial maintenance equivalent to a £350,000 salary during recent court proceedings. The demands included a £31,000 AstroTurf lawn for her children, as she contends that they deserve the same luxuries as Walker's other children with his wife, Annie Kilner. Additionally, she requested £500 a month for hot tub maintenance, £500 for a gardener, and £1,440 for a cleaner.
Despite these high-profile demands, Goodman now finds herself struggling under the weight of public scrutiny and legal costs. She admitted to the Mail that the court's decision and the ensuing ridicule have left her emotionally devastated. "I have two children that I need to support," Goodman said tearfully. "I can’t let them bury me."
The legal saga, which began with Walker's affair and the subsequent birth of Goodman's children, has been marred by public disputes and media exposure. Goodman's demands, including a £70,000 Mercedes for herself and a £30,000 car for a nanny, have been widely criticized, further fueling the contentious atmosphere surrounding the case.
Sources close to Goodman suggest she remains deeply affected by the fallout, revealing that despite her public statements, she is still emotionally tied to Walker and the lifestyle she envisioned. Friends have observed that Goodman’s recent actions, including a high-profile appearance on Channel 4’s *Celebs Go Dating*, are driven more by a need for financial stability and media exposure rather than genuine romantic pursuits.
The ongoing legal battle underscores the complex and often painful dynamics between Goodman and Walker, as well as the broader implications for their children caught in the crossfire. Both sides hope to move past the public spectacle, but for now, the personal and legal turmoil continues.
As Goodman faces an uncertain future, her plea for a more equitable share of Walker’s fortune highlights a broader struggle for recognition and support amidst a highly publicized family dispute.
