TV personality Lauryn Goodman has been accused of treating Kyle Walker like an “open-ended chequebook” with her extensive list of financial demands.
In a harsh court ruling back in July, the 33-year-old was criticised for using threats to expose the England football star, with whom she shares 4-year-old son Kairo and 1-year-old daughter Kinara, as the father of her second child if he failed to meet her financial demands.
After the verdict, Kyle did not hold back with his statement, calling out Lauryn’s “insatiable greed”.
The trail revealed multiple bombshells, including Lauryn’s ultimatum about going public, her controversial message to Annie Kilner, Kyle’s wife, and a lengthy list of her financial expectations from the England defender, reports the Mirror.
Lauryn’s financial demands included £14,750 per month (or £150,000 a year) in child maintenance for both children, as well as £3,900 per month for 30 hours of weekly childcare at £30 an hour for Kinara. She also requested a £30,000 car for the nanny, to be replaced every three years, and a custom-designed wood and glass baby gate.
The list of demands also featured a whopping £33,000 for installing air conditioning in her Sussex home, a new £70,000 car every four years.
As well as the construction of an astroturf football pitch in her garden, costing a staggering £312,000, as she claims her one year old daughter showed potential to be a future Lioness.
However, the judge responded: “I remind myself that Kinara has just turned one year old and is not yet walking… the mother surprisingly justified her demand for AstroTurf by saying that Kinara, by kicking a ball with her left foot from a crawling position, has shown a talent which may suggest a future career as a professional footballer qualified to become a ‘Lioness’.”
Lauryn had also requested a gardener, which cost £28 per hour, explaining to the court: “The lawn mower is heavy” plus £800 water filters and an iron, saying she has “a steamer but it leaks”.
The Celebs Go Dating star also had her own extravagant desires, wanting a £70,000 Mercedes GLE which she wants to be replaced every four years. Including £171.81 per month for two mobile phones – one for family and the other for friends.
This week, it was revealed that Kyle and Annie might be preparing for a new life in Italy, following a challenging period in their marriage.
Manchester City player Kyle is now rumoured to be joining Inter Milan, after earlier reports suggested he was looking at a move to the Middle East.
As whispers of a potential Saudi team signing reached fans, it was revealed that Lauryn herself was contemplating a new beginning in Dubai.
Lauryn is currently residing in the £2.4million home in Sussex with her children, and the property is currently owned by Kyle. Although it has been reported that Lauryn contacted lawyers about the possibility of renting the luxury property out for a year so she can move to Dubai.

As a source told The Sun: “It’s been a turbulent time for Lauryn and she is keen to have a change of scenery, where she can focus on the children. She loves the idea of living somewhere sunny, like Dubai, temporarily.
“Because Kyle owns the property, she has to ask his permission to rent it out. She would need to do that in order to be able to rent a property abroad. She’s no longer close to her family, so feels she doesn’t have any ties to the UK right now, and has loved taking her children abroad on holiday to get away from everything.”
