Lauryn Goodman reveals ‘sad decision’ she made to protect Kyle Walker’s son Kai after taking him to watch dad at Euros
LAURYN Goodman has revealed the “sad decision” she made to protect Kyle Walker’s son Kairo at the England match.
The 33-year-old influencer and reality TV star took the four-year-old to Frankfurt to watch his vice-captain father play against Denmark on Thursday.
Kairo wore a Three Lions shirt with “Daddy” and the number two on the back as the boy waved an England flag as he cheered on the Three Lions.
But Lauryn has now revealed to the Daily Mail that she and Kairo left the stadium five minutes before the end of the match to avoid an awkward situation.
Lauryn said: “We left five minutes early to avoid Kairo being upset and confused that his daddy went over to his siblings but not him,”
“It would have been so sad for him and I wasn’t going to risk that.”
She said the experience had been the “best day ever” but there had been an undercurrent of sadness.
Lauryn said: “It made me so emotional because it’s like Kairo doesn’t understand what his dad has done yet.”
Lauryn claimed earlier this month that Kyle had offered her tickets to the matches, something his team have vehemently denied.
She said she was determined to take her children to Germany for the Euros so they could support their dad.
She also alleged that Kyle made the promise to Kairo because the youngster missed the 2022 World Cup.
The tot received lots of attention including a Danish fan who said hello as they walked to the stadium.
Lauryn posted messages of support she received from supportive fans which praised her for being a good mother for the act.
One read: “The fact you put yourself in that situation to give him that experience shows the mama you are!! Amazing.”
Another person wrote: “Kairo should one million percent be at those games.
“I hope you know how amazing you are and proud you should be. Shame on the rest of the world for thinking differently.”
While a third person said: “You are a wonderful role model to both your children and they know that now but they will truly understand and appreciate it as they get older.”
The Three Lions drew one all with the Danes on Thursday after a lacklustre performance.
Annie Kilner, Kyle’s wife and mum to four of his boys, sat with other wives and girlfriends while Lauryn sat in a different part of the stadium.
One source close to Annie said Lauryn is seen as a bit of a trouble maker, chancer and blagger.
The source close to Annie said: “Lauryn is seen as a bit of a troublemaker and Annie’s worst nightmare was running into her.
“There was talk of Lauryn’s seats being less than 100 metres away. Annie wants absolutely nothing to do with her.
“The security team were aware of Lauryn’s presence and were primed to make sure she couldn’t get anywhere near the Wags‘ area.
“Lauryn is a blagger and a chancer, and they were worried she might be able to talk her way in.
“But given the sensitivities around it, she was kept well away.”
‘It was a slow death’ says Kyle Walker as he relives devastated Annie finding out he’d had 2nd secret child with Lauryn
In an exclusive tell-all interview with The Sun’s reporter Paul Sims, the England and Manchester City defender admitted he was selfish not to tell his pregnant wife about his second secret child — and says: “It was a slow death for me and for Annie.”
Annie’s world imploded just after Christmas when she received a devastating Instagram message out of the blue from Lauryn Goodman, who told her that Kyle had fathered another child with her.
Kyle publicly admitted: “I’m sorry that I have had a second child with Lauryn and hurt my best friend.
“It’s horrible to say that out loud.
“I’ve hurt someone I truly believe is my soulmate.
“It’s tough to not have her.
“She’s my right-hand man.
“I think of her so highly that she probably won’t understand and I probably don’t really tell her.
“This isn’t an interview for me to tell the world how much I care about her because that’s down to me and Annie and what we feel.
“I’ve let Annie and my boys down, I’ve let my mum and dad down, my nan down.”
