Lauryn Goodman has been seen for the first time after it was revealed her ex Kyle Walker had been served divorce papers by his wife Annie Kilner.
Lauryn Goodman has been seen for the first time after it was revealed her ex Kyle Walker had been served divorce papers by his wife Annie Kilner.
Man City defender Walker separated with Kilner late last year after he fathered a second child with model Goodman.
Now Kilner, 31, has served the England star with divorce papers because she just cant forgive him for what hes done to her.
The mother-of-four has instructed lawyers to begin legal proceedings as she prepares to fight for half of the Manchester City defenders £27million fortune.
And as the drama continues to deepen, Goodman has been spotted for the first time keeping a low profile in Sussex.
Lauryn Goodman has been seen for the first time after it was revealed her ex Kyle Walker has been served divorce papers by wife Annie Kilner.
Dressed in a baseball cap, blue jumper and black trousers, she was spotted out and about in Sussex carrying a water bottle, possibly on her way to the gym.

Her hair was worn in a ponytail showcasing her recent weight loss and she failed to raise a smile during her brief outing.
Goodman has yet to break her silence on Walker being served with divorce papers.
The documents were served to him 10 days ago, and MailOnline understands Walker had moved back into their family home in Cheshire - but not into Kilners bed.
The 34-year-old footballer, who earns an estimated £175,000 a week, is said to have been sleeping separately from Kilner in a room on the third floor of the house.
The couple separated last December after Walker was revealed to have fathered a second child with model Lauryn Goodman, who texted Kilner to reveal the news.
As their tumultuous relationship hit a new low, a source told MailOnline: Things are as bad between them as they have ever been. It wasnt like a normal marriage.
They have barely been speaking to each other. She is divorcing Kyle because she just cant forgive him for what hes done to her. She cant get over it. She has tried.
Kyle seems to have accepted its over. Hes been happier in the last week or so. Like the weight of the worlds been lifted from his shoulders.

Childhood sweethearts Walker and Kilner met in Sheffield as teenagers but the footballer has been embroiled in a series of sex scandals over the years.
Walker allegedly had an affair with Ex on the Beach TV reality star Laura Brown in 2019 and went on to secretly father two children with Instagram influencer Goodman.
The footballer had already been kicked out of his shared home by Kilner when Goodman revealed for the first time that she was having his baby.
But Kilner and Walker stayed together and married in November 2021 at Mottram Hall in Cheshire after he proposed with a £250,000 ring.
However, Walker then cheated on Kilner with Goodman once again, who fell pregnant with their second child - a girl called Kinara who was born in June last year.
In December, Goodman texted Kilner with a bombshell message to say: Hey its Lauryn. I just wanted to quickly tell you that Kyle is the father of our daughter.
Kilner, who was pregnant at the time with their fourth son, confirmed they had split two weeks later - and Walker moved into a rented mansion near their shared home as he tried to repair their relationship.
He told The Sun at the time: What Ive done is horrible and I take full responsibility. I made idiot choices and idiot decisions.
Then in July, Walker was praised by a judge for being sensible, honest and reliable during a family court battle with Goodman over child maintenance payments.
Walker appeared at the Central Family Court in London in a dispute with Goodman over the amount of money he should pay to support Kinara, who is now aged one.
Goodman asked the court to order that Walker pay £14,750 a month in global child maintenance for the pairs two children, as well as tens of thousands for cars, furnishing and property maintenance and other costs such as nursery fees.

Walker opposed some of the demands or argued they should be decreased, telling the court that he was not an open chequebook despite earning between £3million and £5million per year.
In his ruling, Judge Edward Hess dismissed many of Goodmans demands, concluding that she was not reliable while claiming Walker acted with dignity and generosity.
The court heard that Goodman began her legal claim two days after Kinaras birth.
Her demands included that Walker paid for the upkeep of a hydro-pool, a £28-per-hour gardener, a car worth up to £70,000 every three years and air conditioning costing around £33,000.
In court, Goodman justified the need for a £31,200 artificial turf pitch by stating that Kinara kicked a ball from a crawling position, which could make her a future England footballer, adding: The Lionesses are better than the Lions.

But the judge dismissed the demand, describing her reasoning as an unjustified evidential leap.
Goodman further claimed that Walker should pay to fix 59 snagging issues at the property bought for her and the children by the footballer under the terms of a previous court order related to their first child, Kairo, claiming they pose a safety risk.
Giving evidence, Goodman said that the money was needed to secure my childrens future and that she did not want them to be different from Walkers other children.
The court heard that Walker accepted some of Goodmans demands, but felt others were disproportionate, with his lawyers claiming that she was making a blatant attempt to leverage money for personal benefit.
The judge said that Walker had already paid more than £430,000, plus thousands more per month, to Goodman for Kinara and changes to her £2.4million Sussex property, which he also purchased.

The footballer also agreed to pay all but a very small portion of Goodmans £259,298 of legal costs related to the dispute, on top of his own fees of £171,440.
In his judgment, Judge Hess encouraged both sides to compromise over the snagging issues but said he was not persuaded by many of Goodmans demands.
Dismissing Goodmans claim for air conditioning, the judge said she could mitigate high temperatures in her home by deploying a modestly-priced electric fan.
Walker was ordered to pay £12,500 per month in child maintenance – a figure he offered before the hearing began – and a sum of £5,000 for furniture compared with Goodmans initial demand of £20,000. Walker was also ordered to pay £30,000 for a car to be used by a nanny and other fees.
Goodman has previously publicly confirmed that Walker was the father of her second child, and sent a text to Kilner last December stating: Hey its Lauryn I just wanted to quickly tell you that Kyle is the father of our daughter.

In his ruling, the judge said that Walker had made payments to Goodman to keep the lid on the news of her second pregnancy, adding honesty might have been a better policy.
The judge also added that it was not the courts role to make moral judgments or punish or condemn any perceived human frailties or lack of wisdom.
But he ruled that the text sent by Goodman to Kilner intended to, and did, cause distress.
He said: I do not accept the mothers explanation that this text message was sent in an attempt to create a good working relationship between the two women in the fathers life.
In my view, this text was written in the same spirit as the series of text communications with the fathers next-door neighbour in Cheshire in which the mother sought to persuade the neighbour to record conversations over the garden fence with a view to gain material to undermine the fathers marriage.
When the mother texted the neighbour to say ready to finish them, she had in mind causing irreparable damage to the fathers marriage.
