In a scathing court ruling delivered this afternoon, Lauryn Goodman was accused by a judge of cashing-in on Kyle Walker’s betrayal of wife Annie Kilner as he ripped into her demands
One of Lauryn Goodman’s eye-watering demands to Kyle Walker included a mega-money astroturf football pitch for her one-year-old ‘future Lioness’ daughter.
The influencer, 33, who is the mother of the footballer’s two kids, son, Kairo, four, and daughter Kinara, has today lost her court battle with the Manchester City right-back.
She suffering the humiliating court defeat with a judge blasting the Celebs Go Dating star for treating the footballer as an “open-ended cheque book”.
One of her staggering demands included a £32,000 artificial sports surface for the youngsters, who the proud mum has tipped to go far in the game.
In a scathing written judgement, Honour Judge Edward Hess said Lauryn didn’t have a “good track record of telling the truth” and was “often difficult, unreasonable and demanding.”
He took aim and her list of her list of stipulations, included the installation of air conditioning in her Sussex home at a cost of £33,000, a new £70,000 car every four years and the footy pitch for the infants to use in her garden. The warring pair went head-to-head as Lauryn made a string of extraordinary demands.
The judge said: “I remind myself that Kinara has just turned one year old and is not yet walking…the mother surprisingly justified her demand for astroturf by saying that Kinara, by kicking a ball with her left foot from a crawling position, has shown a talent which may suggest a future career as a professional footballer qualified to become a ‘Lioness’.”
The judge made the rare decision to lift the anonymity order normally afforded to family court proceedings Lauryn had wanted to keep the outcome secret. But Hess ruled that she couldn’t argue for the privacy of her children after visiting the Euros with “her son dressed in an England football shirt with the name ‘Daddy’ on the back, and to be willingly photographed.”
Kyle sought to keep the fact that he was his daughter’s father secret from his wife and had initially agreed to most of her financial demands, including a £2.4million home in Sussex. But the Judge said that Lauryn tried to orchestrate rises by threatening to go public with the fact he was the father of her kids – and also moving house to be near Kyle and Annie which “horrified” the footballer.
The judge said: “The evidence before me has amply demonstrated that the mother was able to leverage these substantial increases by hinting that she would go public on the paternity issue and also threatening that if she did not get what she wanted she would select a home a stone’s throw away from the father’s family home in Cheshire rather than in Sussex, an idea which she knew horrified the father.” But Lauryn “plainly had no intention of keeping the matter secret”, the judge ruled, and eventually contacted Kyle’s wife directly.
Summing up, Hess said: “My assessment of the mother is that she was not reliable, often said what she thought would help her case rather than what was true, failed to make a calm and measured assessment of what she needed and often exaggerated her need to spend money (I think the father was correct to observe that the mother was in many ways treating him as an open-ended cheque book).”
