The Fascinating Kyle Walker-Lauryn Goodman-Annie Kilner Love Triangle: 10 Jaw-Dropping Facts

When influencer Lauryn Goodman sent an explosive text to footballer Kyle Walker’s pregnant wife Annie Kilner in December 2023, allegations of infidelity and paternity sparked a scandal that dominated headlines for months. Little did anyone know, the fallout from this bombshell would continue to grip the public’s attention even a year later.

‘Hey it’s Lauryn,’ her message read. ‘I just wanted to quickly tell you that Kyle is the father of our daughter. He’s been having a relationship with us all including the baby & I’ve got everything to prove it.’

This revelation rocked the Walker/Kilner family, ending their marriage and igniting the biggest off-pitch scandal of 2024. Annie, heartbroken, threw Kyle out of their £4 million Cheshire mansion, leaving Lauryn hopeful for a new life with her Manchester City captain and their two children, Kairo (4) and Kinara (1).

However, her hopes seem to have been dashed when Kyle failed to buy Christmas presents for their children. This latest incident further fueled the media frenzy, with both parties issuing statements critical of each other.

On Christmas Day, Kyle and Annie posted a picture of themselves and their four children in matching black-and-white checked pyjamas at home, an attempt to show the world that they are trying to make their relationship work despite the turmoil.

Despite their public display of family unity, more gory details of their ongoing feud have come to light. Here are ten jaw-dropping facts about the complex drama surrounding the Lauryn/Kyle/Annie love triangle:

1: Lauryn Cuts Out Stories About Her and Kyle

Lauryn maintains a collection of newspaper stories about her relationship with Kyle, storing them in a ‘collection box’ to show her children when they are older. This seemingly paradoxical behavior raises questions about her attitudes towards media scrutiny.

‘It all seems very strange,’ comments a source close to Lauryn. ‘She hates what is written about her and their kids, yet she keeps her own cuttings file. She wants to be able to show them parts of their lives they won’t remember, and make sure they know their mummy stuck up for them against their dad.’

2: Lauryn Could Have Been Kyle and Annie’s Neighbor

Annie was distraught when Lauryn appeared to house-hunt near the Walker family’s luxurious Cheshire home. In April 2021, Lauryn was spotted looking at properties in the area, causing panic that she might soon become their neighbor.

‘Lauryn isn’t stupid, she decided to put the wind up Kyle and showed him what things could be like if she decided to uproot,’ notes a close observer. As a result, Kyle promptly paid Lauryn the maintenance she demanded.

3: Kyle Pays Lauryn £140,000 a Year Tax-Free

Lauryn earns a substantial amount from her relationship with Kyle, receiving £140,000 tax-free in maintenance payments annually. She lives in a £2.4 million house in Sussex, which Kyle purchased for her.

Lauryn attempted to secure Kinara the same stake in the property as Kairo, but Kyle refused, stating he had had enough of her financial demands.

Kyle also gifted Lauryn a £51,000 Mercedes SUV, showcasing the high stakes involved in their relationship.

4: They Hired the Same PRs as Rebekah Vardy and Coleen Rooney

Lauryn was once represented by Rebekah Vardy’s publicist Caroline Watt, who infamously lost her phone during the Wagatha Christie trial in 2022, potentially destroying key evidence in the libel case between Vardy and Coleen Rooney.

Caroline managed Lauryn for a year, but stepped down when Annie and Kyle hired Rachel Monk, Coleen Rooney’s PR, early in 2024. ‘Caroline didn’t fancy going up against Rachel again,’ says her friend, explaining her decision to avoid the trauma of the past legal battle.

5: Lauryn’s Sister Chloe Introduced Her to Kyle

Lauryn first met Kyle in a London nightclub, introduced by her sister Chloe, who maintained a friendship with the footballer. Chloe occasionally sides with Kyle in conflicts between the star and Lauryn.

‘You have to wonder if Chloe feels a little guilty about introducing them,’ muses a source. ‘Lauryn was keen to be a WAG and they got talking. But Chloe has her reservations about some of Lauryn’s behavior.’

6: They Don’t Talk—Communicate Through Lawyers

Despite their separation, Lauryn and Kyle have not spoken directly since the scandal erupted. Their communication is conducted through their legal representatives.

‘There is pure hatred there,’ confirms a source close to the drama. ‘Kyle is furious with Lauryn – children are involved, and their lives have been thrown into the limelight. He literally cannot stand to speak to her.’

7: Lauryn’s Hoping to Get on Celebrity Big Brother

Determined to stay in the public eye, Lauryn has pursued roles on popular TV shows like Dancing On Ice and I’m A Celebrity. She has also reached out to production staff for a spot on Celebrity Big Brother, hoping to boost her profile.

Her recent hiring of former jungle star Nicola McLean to help secure her spot on the reality show demonstrates her eagerness. However, ITV has reportedly shown less enthusiasm.

8: Lauryn Scouts for Footballers on Dating App Raya

While still harboring hope to win Kyle back, Lauryn has also been scouting for other high-profile men on the exclusive dating app Raya. Named individuals she attempted to contact include Trent Alexander-Arnold of Liverpool and a young Chelsea player.

Skeptical friends note, ‘Lauryn goes on there from time to time. Raya attracts rich and famous men, so that isn’t surprising.’

9: Lauryn Bans Friends and Family from Taking Photos

Lauryn has an exclusive photo arrangement with a leading paparazzi firm, allowing her to control the number and quality of photographs published about her and her children. She receives around 80% of the revenue from these sales.

Some notable collaborations include pictures taken at the Frankfurt stadium after England’s Euro 2024 match against Denmark, as well as shopping trips around Sussex and Brighton.

Lauryn is so keen on maintaining control that she forbids friends and family from taking photos, ensuring only her chosen photographers capture the images.

10: Lauryn Wheels and Deals Under a Pseudonym

In an attempt to maintain anonymity and gather information, Lauryn uses the pseudonym ‘Catherine Rowland’ to contact media organizations with insider knowledge about the case.

‘She has other accounts that she uses under different names—pretending to be an agent or representative,’ notes a friend. ‘She’s constantly trying to wheel and deal behind the scenes, sometimes to improve her own image.’

The complex web of relationships, finances, and media interactions in the Kyle Walker-Lauryn Goodman-Annie Kilner love triangle continues to reveal new twists and turns. As this saga unfolds, one thing remains clear: this high-profile drama is not over yet.
