This week, Lauryn Goodman has come under fire for her financial requests from England footballer Kyle Walker, with whom she shares two children. Following revelations from a family court proceeding, it was disclosed that the glamour model laid out a series of lavish demands, which included a £2.5 million residence, annual child maintenance of £350,000, and even plans for astroturf installation to encourage her daughter to follow in the footsteps of female football players known as the Lionesses.

In addition to these substantial financial demands, Goodman sought £500 a month for hot tub maintenance and a new car every three years costing around £70,000. These requests were revealed during a private court hearing in London conducted in July, shedding light on the tumultuous nature of her relationship with Walker. Their relationship has drawn considerable media attention over the years, especially since Walker fathered their first child while still with his wife, Annie Kilner, and left a trail of infidelities that have plagued his public image.

The history of Walker’s relationships has been tumultuous, with rumors of cheating dating back to Euro 2016. Amid various controversies, Goodman gave birth to their son during a significant period of his marital strife, with reports of Walker's past indiscretions surfacing regularly. Even as he reconciled with Kilner, their marriage endured several challenges, including Walker’s alleged partying during the Covid-19 lockdown, which affected his relationship with Goodman.

Goodman's announcement of her second pregnancy further complicated matters, especially when she suggested the father was an unnamed footballer, although insinuations pointed towards Walker. This revelation led to further tensions, with Goodman claiming that Walker initially denied paternity despite a DNA test confirming the child's background. The ensuing fallout saw Walker publicly apologize and attempt to mend his marriage amidst the chaos.

In court, Goodman’s financial claims were denied, with judgments criticizing her as “unreasonable” in her expectations. Despite her claims for a lifestyle equivalent to that of Walker's other children, the court ruled against her appeal for extensive financial support. The judgment also noted an incident during the Euros where Goodman appeared publicly with her son, which was a critical factor in the ruling. As Goodman continues to pursue her demands, she expressed deep concerns over her financial future, emphasizing the need for support for her children.
