Tennis ace Jack Draper and reality star Lauryn Goodman started dating after meeting on celebrity dating app Raya and were spotted on a coffee shop date but their romance was reportedly short-lived.
Jack Draper has reportedly been given “a wake-up call” after alleged racy messages between him and Lauryn Goodman were leaked. The pair first matched on celebrity dating app Raya back in April and were reportedly seen on a coffee date in South London, but the romance was short-lived.
The pair are believed to have exchanged flirt messages on the dating app, as well as Jack asking to meet up with the Celebs Go Dating star. However, the sports star is said to be unimpressed by the private messages being leaked. It’s claimed that the pair had spoken to one another on the exclusive dating app earlier this year and felt there may have been a spark.
But those reportedly close to Jack have now hit out, claiming that the leaked messages have given the tennis player a “wake-up call”. Jack and Lauren both decided that there was no spark between them after their first meeting and decided not to meet up for a second time.

A source close to the tennis player told Daily Mail: “Raya is a private app for industry people to meet others, but seeing an unremarkable coffee date and a handful of insignificant messages leaked will have given him a real wake-up call.”
However, a separate source revealed to The Sun yesterday: “Jack was sending her sexy messages — trying to find out what she is into. Lauryn’s a dark horse and wasn’t giving a lot away, so he tried luring her in with pictures of himself topless. Jack also mentioned going to Lauryn’s to get in the hot tub with her, but she quickly shut him down.”
Speaking to the Mirror, a source close to Lauryn said: “Lauryn has had trust issues within her close circle and she is upset to see she still has this.” The 34-year-old mum-of-two enjoyed a coffee shop date in Wandsworth with Jack, who is 11 years younger than her, but the romance was over before it even began.
An insider told The Sun on Sunday: “Jack’s a regular, so I see him often. He towered above her, but they were flirting as he bought her a coffee. I saw them leave together.”
The source added that Jack was attempting to stop Lauryn getting wet as it was raining, with the pair looking relaxed with one another as he wrapped his arm around her. Friends of Lauryn are said to have told her she would have been “crazy” to turn Jack down.
A source said: “She decided to finally meet up with him because she’s been through the mill, but there’s no plans to see each other again. Lauryn’s life is centred around her children, but now they’re getting a bit older, friends think she needs to start enjoying herself again.”
Lauryn became a major talking point last year after it emerged that she had welcomed another child with Kyle, who was married to Annie Kilner at the time she fell pregnant.
And at that time, Annie was determined to pursue a divorce. But it looks as though the former Manchester City player, who now plays for Burnley, has managed to patch things up with the mum of four.
Back in January last year, Kyle issued a public apology to his devastated wife. He said: “What I’ve done is horrible and I take full responsibility. I made idiot choices and idiot decisions. I can’t begin to think or imagine what Annie is going through. I’ve tried to ask her but there’s pain and hurt.”
He continued: “My actions have caused a lot of pain to a lot of people. I’m sorry because, as a family, this isn’t meant to happen.” While those close to Kyle told us there was no relationship between him and Lauryn, a source close to the reality star told us that Walker was “very much a willing, enthusiastic participant.”
The Mirror have contacted Jack and Lauren’s representatives for comment.
