LAURYN Goodman has broken her silence on claims she’ll follow Kyle Walker to Italy, amid his recent transfer to AC Milan, insisting she’s “not a money grabber.”
Footballer Kyle’s marriage to wife Annie Kilner is dangling by the thinnest of threads, but she and their four boys will fly to Italy and relocate to be with Kyle for a fresh start.

Annie will begin making plans, while back in the UK, to move the family.
She is keen for them to begin a new life abroad as soon as possible — once schools have been identified and they have worked out where they want to live.
And, Lauryn, who shares two children with Kyle, has spoken out on the situation, and claims she’ll move to Italy too.
She said: “For the last year I wished to have the option to move abroad because, with all of the drama, I’d like a life reset, but I’m not sure how that looks for us at the minute or what that entails.
“It makes no difference to me where [Kyle] is, he could be on Mars right now for all I care.”
She continued to tell OK!: “I’ve been through hell and back fighting for my children and then absolutely being crucified for it in the process.”
Lauryn became pregnant with Kairo while Kyle was on a break from childhood sweetheart Annie Kilner in 2019.
Kyle later got back together with Annie before they married in 2021.
But he and Lauryn stayed in touch and briefly rekindled their relationship.
Their daughter Kinara was conceived in October 2022 while the footballer was in London for treatment for a groin injury.
In December 2023 Lauryn told Annie, who was pregnant at the time, that the little girl was Kyle’s child.
Lauryn currently lives in a £2.4million house in Sussex which is owned by the 34-year-old defender.
But the Celebs Go Dating star – mother to his son Kairo, four, and daughter Kinara, one — has contacted his lawyers about renting it out while she lives in a different country.
Trolls have branded Lauryn “greedy” and a “gold digger” over the years.
But she’s insisted in her recent interview: “I’m not a money grabber.”
Lauryn added: “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 are living like that, why can’t Kairo and Kinara?”
Last year, a 30-page document laid bare Lauryn’s wild shopping sprees and outrageous demands – after a previous judge had slammed her for spending money “like it was going out of fashion”.
They included £33,000 for air conditioning at her seven-bedroom mansion in Hove, Sussex, a £22,000 furnishing fund, £70,000 for a Mercedes GLE, to be replaced every three years, and a £30,000 car allowance for a nanny.
On top of that she wanted £14,750 a month in child maintenance, £3,900 a month in childcare costs, a bespoke wood and glass baby gate – and even an iron.
She also insisted on £31,200 for an astro-turf pitch – telling the court that baby Kinara had kicked a ball with her left foot from a crawling position and showed a talent as a potential Lioness of the future.
But defending herself against the demands, Lauryn broke her silence on the court case, and continued to add in her new interview: “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.”
