Lauryn Goodman has broken her silence to reveal the shocking moment she presented a DNA test to Kyle Walker’s wife Annie to prove she’d welcomed a second child with the Manchester City star.
The social media personality says she was left with no choice after Walker ignored her pleas to tell his childhood sweetheart that he’d been living a secret double life. Lauryn called Walker was ‘too weak to admit the truth’ – that he’d hid his visits to see her and their kids from wife Annie, with whom he shares three children.
Lauryn and the England star welcomed son Kairo in 2020 during his brief break from long-suffering Annie. Despite Annie taking Walker back and marrying him, the footballer continued to see Lauryn behind her back. Lauryn has today revealed how she and Walker rekindled their fling as they met for legal meetings to discuss their son.
Speaking on the scandal for the first time, Lauryn said: “Kyle was happy hiding the truth because he was having two families and was scared about what would happen when Annie knew but I kept saying to him, ‘Our daughter can’t be a secret, she is a human’.

“I didn’t want them to split up or cause harm but it had to be out in the open for all of our sakes.”
In an interview with The Sun, Lauryn says she seized her chance to speak to Annie herself when she knew Walker was playing away with Manchester City. “The day after Boxing Day I got someone to message Annie because I knew he was away playing so I could speak to her and tell her the truth in private that Kyle was my daughter’s father. She said to me, ‘I had a feeling and was saying to my friends that she was his daughter’. They told her she was crazy. I said, ‘That’s not very nice’.
Lauryn says she showed Annie a DNA test to prove Kyle’s paternity to her children. The two women then agreed to meet on a FaceTime call with Lauryn showing off her baby daughter. She also showed Annie pictures of Walker with their two children that had been taken when he told his wife he was away.
The influencer says she didn’t confront Annie because she wanted to be a ‘bitch’ or ‘hurt her’ but because she felt Walker’s loyal wife deserved to know the truth.
Lauryn says she knew it was time to come clean when Walker asked if he could video call her and the kids on her Christmas Day, while he was with Annie. Lauryn says she told him things had become ‘too toxic’ and the truth needed to out.
Annie and Walker married in 2021 after she forgave him for fathering a son with Lauryn during their split. The pair are now living separately, with Walker said to be living in a flat near the family home where Annie has stayed with their three sons.
Lauryn claims that while Walker’s so-called ‘secret other family’ his England teammates knew they were still talking. She says his pals would join in calls when he FaceTimed her. She also says Walker kept up his promise to bring her back a football from the World Cup and the blue Manchester City kit that says ‘Daddy’ on the back was also a present from him.
On Friday, Walker issued a public apology to his wife. In an Instagram statement, Walker said: “Annie is an amazing woman and I can only apologise for the upset I’ve caused her. She’s been part of my life for so long and that will never change for the sake of our children. I would ask for privacy for all of our family, and especially our young children, whilst we work through these difficult times.”
