Wedding bells? Lauryn Goodman seeks ‘consistent father figure’ for Kyle Walker’s two children - with England international absent after affair

Outside of his marriage to long-term partner Annie Kilner, England international Walker has fathered two children with former Love Island contestant Goodman - a son, who dreams of becoming a footballer, and a daughter.

Walker, who is now on the books of Burnley after severing ties with Manchester City, has little to do with his children that were born outside of wedlock. He provides financial support, but is not on hand to help out with any parenting duties.

Goodman has steered clear of relationships after becoming caught up in an extramarital storm, but did appear on Celebs Go Dating in 2024 and is ruling nothing out. She told Closer when asked if she would like to meet a special someone: “I’m actually open to it now. My head is clear. I’d love to intentionally date, but I’m not in any rush. If it comes, it comes.”

Pushed on whether a true love story could one day lead to her walking down the aisle, Goodman added: “Yes, absolutely. I’ve been hurt so much in the past and up until now I’ve just focused on being a solid foundation for my children. But now, I’d love to meet someone special – not just for me, but for the kids too. I think they deserve a consistent father figure, and I’d love that for them.”

Goodman has revealed that she is still mulling over a move away from the UK, with Dubai appealing to her young family. Relocation would help to put plenty of distance between her new life and the strained relationship that she endures with Walker.
