'I'm not a money-grabber' - Lauryn Goodman explains eye-watering child maintenance claims as she reveals Kyle Walker hasn't had any contact with her children for a year & aims dig over lack of Christmas presents

Walker's ex-mistress Goodman has finally opened up on being labelled a 'gold digger' as she explained why she demanded huge amounts in child maintenance. Goodman reportedly requested funds of £177,000 a year, as well as a £70,000 car allowance every three years. She was, however, awarded £150,000 and £51,000 by the court. She also wanted the footballer to pay for air conditioning and an astroturf football pitch.

Speaking to OK! Magazine, she said: "I’m not a money grabber. It’s about all the children having the same, which they will never have, but I can try to get similarities for them. If his other children [with wife Annie Kilner] are living like that, why can’t Kairo and Kinara? The judge’s decision was sensationalised like it was a huge blow to me, but in reality, the difference between what I asked for and what I’m receiving is £2,250 a month. For someone who earns so much, you would’ve thought it wouldn’t be worth all the legal costs and trauma to battle this out, but I think Kyle wanted to win."

Goodman added: "I have mum guilt, so I kind of overcompensate. I don’t want them to feel like they’re missing out because they haven’t got a present dad to be doing these things with them. I was lucky enough to be awarded enough for, currently, 20 hours of childcare a week, which helps, of course, but with the comments I get, I think people think I have a full-time nanny. I don’t do anything for myself.

"Every day of the week is taken up with an activity and, typically, always in a different direction to the other one. I want to give my children the best. They are both bilingual; they both speak Spanish. They do gymnastics, football, swimming, you name it, they do it. Kairo’s football is an hour away, he trains for an hour and it’s an hour back – and I do that three times a week. I do everything I can to make sure they’re given the best tools in life. And I just feel… how hard it is all the time."

The former Love Island star also revealed that Walker has not seen her kids for a year and did not even send Christmas presents. She said: "Kyle was emotionally involved with our children and he was physically there as well – maybe not every day, obviously, because of the distance. But if Kairo needed him, you could pick up the phone to him. He didn’t buy them Christmas presents. Bear in mind, he knows where they live."

The England international, who moved to AC Milan on loan in the January window, could make his debut in the Milan derby on Sunday.
