Footballer Kyle Walker bought a £2.5million seaside mansion for his mistress Lauryn Goodman, the mother of two of his children, despite reportedly fighting to save his marriage to Annie Kilner
England star Kyle Walker splashed out on a luxury mansion for his ex Lauryn Goodman, the mother of his two children, Kairo and Kinara.
The 34-year-old AC Milan right-back shares four sons – Roman, Riaan, Reign and Rezon – with wife Annie Kilner, but also has two children with influencer Lauryn, 33. Lauryn brought their eldest, Kairo, now four, to watch his dad play for England against Denmark at the Euros in June 2024 – a match also attended by Annie.
Last January, Annie announced she was taking time away from their marriage following the revelation of Kyle’s second child with Lauryn, a daughter born in August 2023, who was initially only referred to publicly by the initials ‘KW’.

Walker previously gifted Annie a £250,000 engagement ring when they married in 2021 – a year after Kairo’s birth in April 2020. But he also gifted his mistress Lauryn a £2.5million seven-bed mansion in 2023 in an exclusive area of East Sussex for her to live with their two children.
The influencer was said to be “thrilled” with her new home and enjoyed renovating the property, splashing out £40,000 on bespoke curtains and blinds alone. Now, Kyle is thought to be back in Italy fighting to save his marriage to Annie.
However, it seems that the defender will be forced to return to England following the news AC Milan will not be extending his stay. Speaking on The Kyle Walker Podcast, he said: “After I said my goodbyes, Pep [Guardiola] got up and spoke and said a really nice message to me, just saying thank you for everything.
“But listen, it’s not over. I’m just on loan here [AC Milan]. I’ve got to take that into consideration that I can go back [to Manchester City]. Obviously, both parties need to come to an agreement come the end of the season.”
Lauryn did not publicly disclose her second child’s name, or the father’s identity, when her baby was born but it was soon revealed that Kyle was the father, with Lauryn recalling the exact moment she showed Annie a DNA test to prove it. “It had to be out in the open for all of our sakes,” Lauryn said.
Lauryn’s failed court battle with the 34-year-old sports star saw her ask for £33,000 for an AC unit, £31,200 astroturf for her children, £20,000 for a furnishing fund, £70,000 for a new Mercedes GLE every three years, £14,750 for both children, and more. The judge considered many of her demands unreasonable and said she treated him like an ‘open-ended chequebook’. She even wanted a car for her nanny – who doesn’t even drive.
Lauryn said she refuses to be defeated or silenced by Kyle and his wife Annie, and has now revealed her agony at their actions in a tell-all interview. “They’re about to ruin me forever. I have two children that I need to support,” she recently said.
A source exclusively told the Mirror regarding her feud with Kyle: “Lauryn is known for attempting to control a narrative that suits her story – she has consistently sought public attention with staged shoots, trips to the Euros and constant social media goading around her brief encounters with Kyle.
“Annie and Kyle are looking forward to a resolution of the whole situation and hope that this latest chapter brings them just that. All they want is to work on their relationship, in private, to see what the future holds for them and their young family but have been unable to with the glare of the media – often led by Lauryn.”
Kyle also has no relationship with the two children he shares with Lauryn due to her “behaviour.” Throughout the Euros tournament, Lauryn would take her Instagram off private and share pictures and videos of her two children, often wearing football kits with ‘Daddy’ written on the back of them. She also jetted out to watch Kyle play in a match with Kairo, despite Walker allegedly refused to arrange tickets.
A source telling the Mirror: “Lauryn and her children are welcome to enjoy the games and to go to watch the matches if they want to, but we would question why she wants to do it in such a public way. Contrary to previous reports, Kyle has not offered Lauryn any tickets, the people supporting him in the ground are his wife Annie and their children.”
In an interview, Kyle discussed the painful consequences of his actions. He told The Sun: “I do and I don’t regret it. I regret not telling [Annie] because she had a right to know and that’s the least I owe my best friend. I don’t regret it selfishly because I got to spend days with my children.”
Lauryn’s modern home, meanwhile, consists of wooden flooring, full-length windows and plain walls. She also has a huge reception room with a small sofa in the corner. The TV personality, whose Instagram account switches between being private and public, hasn’t disclosed any images of the exterior of the house publicly.
However, she often shares glimpses inside, which include a large cream sofa and a gigantic wall-mounted flat-screen television. A source told The Sun in September: “Kyle has spent so much on this house. It cost a fortune. Lauryn is obviously pleased Kyle has finally done the right thing. She wants the kids to feel happy and secure.” The source explained Lauryn had been living with her mum for a while, “with both kids cramped in one room” and it hadn’t “been easy”.
The source added: “It is an amazing house, she is thrilled. It’s like something out of Footballers’ Wives. It’s massive.” At the time, it was reported by the publication that Lauryn hadn’t yet moved in. It’s unknown if she has moved into the property since. The source claimed she had spent an “absolute fortune” making the place her own and worked with a “fancy interior designer”. The luxury five-bedroom house reportedly has a large garden and terrace.
Around the time of the purchase, Kyle reportedly moved out of his house with Annie and into a penthouse flat in Manchester city centre following a string of ‘blazing rows’. A source told MailOnline: “We don’t see much of Kyle since she threw him out at the end of August… She was really angry with him and called him all sorts of names.” In January, Kyle broke his silence regarding the split and said: “Annie is an amazing woman and I can only apologise for the upset I’ve caused her.”
