Lauryn Goodman Responds After Child Maintenance Court Loss to Kyle Walker

Lauryn Goodman has publicly responded following her recent defeat in a child maintenance court battle against Manchester City footballer Kyle Walker, the father of her two children. The 34-year-old reality star took to social media to share a series of alleged Snapchat conversations with Walker, amid claims that he has been emotionally absent from their children's lives. Goodman, who has a four-year-old son, Kairo, and a one-year-old daughter, Kinara, is determined to control the narrative surrounding her situation. The court proceedings revealed controversial details about Goodman’s demands from Walker, which included requests for home improvements and a new car for her nanny. A family court judge criticized her approach, suggesting she treated Walker as an "open-ended chequebook." In response to the backlash, Goodman has been vocal about her desire for her children to receive the same treatment as Walker's other children with his wife, Annie Kilner. Crisis management expert Mayah Riaz commented on Goodman’s strategy, noting that while her retaliatory actions may not be wise, they stem from a need to address negative public perception. Sources close to Walker have indicated that his relationship with Kairo and Kinara is strained, attributing this to Goodman’s behavior. Walker and Kilner reportedly wish to focus on their family privately, away from media scrutiny, which they find challenging due to Goodman’s public statements.
