Lauryn Goodman slammed for wearing ‘KW’ necklace for Celebs Go Dating debut as she breaks down over Kyle Walker
LAURYN Goodman was slammed for wearing a ‘KW’ necklace for her Celebs Go Dating debut as she broke down over Kyle Walker tonight.
Lauryn, 33, made a dramatic debut on the E4 reality show, emotionally discussing her struggles with trust after having two children with footballer Kyle Walker, 34.
During the episode, she expressed her frustration over past “toxic” relationships and her desire for something genuine.
But viewers were left asking if she was “taking the p**s” as they quickly noticed she’d been wearing a necklace with the initials “KW”.
While some fans thought it referenced Kyle, it in fact represents her children, Kairo and Kinara, who she shares with the Manchester City player.
Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one posted: “Surely Lauryn Goodman is taking the p**s going on the show with a ‘KW’ necklace round her neck.”
Someone else agreed: “Not defending Kyle Walker at all – lots of blame and very poor behaviour, but why on earth go on a dating show and wear a ‘KW’ necklace too? I’m aware it’s Lauryn’s kids initials, but come on.”
A third asked: “Why is she here? Erm…the money…the fame…ask her about the necklace please.”
One more wrote: “Look at her necklace that’s definitely sending a message.”
In her first consultation with dating agents Paul Brunson and Anna Williamson, the influencer broke down in uncontrollable tears.
She dramatically claimed Kyle kept her and his wife Annie Kilner separate in a ‘sick game’.
Her relationship with the married sportsman made her a household name after it came to light that the pair have known each other for a decade and have two children together.
Now, as she appears on the reality show, Lauryn tearfully described the pain of being Britain’s most maligned mistress.
It was when she was asked about her most recent relationship that she struggled to contain her emotions.
Lauryn said: “My last one, Kyle, I’ve known him since I was like early twenties.
“We were friends at the time, but he’d always liked me, but I knew he had a girlfriend at the time.”
Confirming that she wasn’t friends with Annie, she continued: “No, he kept everything very separate from her.
“It was 2019 and she’d kicked him out, you know, he’s not with her anymore. So I thought, ‘Okay, like, why not?'”
When asked what was the reaction when she told Kyle of her pregnancy, Lauryn replied: “I think it was more shocked because he’d gone back then with his girlfriend.
“And so I think he felt like, ‘Oh gosh, I’ve been kicked out and now she doesn’t know about Lauryn and now she’s pregnant.'”
The reality star said the secret got “heavier and heavier and heavier” as time went on, revealing her upset when she was sent a video of a pregnant Annie.
She said: “It knocked me sideways. I just remember, I just kept being like, ‘What? Has this been some sort of sick game?'”
In July, the former lovers were embroiled in a high profile child maintenance court case, where the England player, 34, accused her of “insatiable greed” after the judge ruled in his favour.
During court proceedings, It was revealed the ex-mistress had been using the footballer as an “open-ended cheque book” after giving birth to JKairo.
Bombshell documents showed how she demanded eye-watering costs, which included £33,000 for air conditioning at her seven-bedroom mansion in Hove, Sussex, a £22,000 furnishing fund, £70,000 for a Mercedes GLE, to be replaced every three years, and a £30,000 car allowance for a nanny.
But, Lauryn has since claimed the millionaire footballer told her he had never “for a second” been sorry they had got together and wanted to “have my cake and eat it”.
The influencer added that the footballer who is married with four children, “wanted a secret double life playing happy families” with their two kids.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun on Sunday, Lauryn said he told her: “We can keep this between you and me.”
But Speaking yesterday on ITV’s This Morning, her first TV appearance since the case, Lauryn confessed that she no longer has a relationship with the father of her children, who also has four sons with his estranged wife Annie Kilner
She explained: “I can’t say I have any regrets because my children are my world. They wouldn’t be here, they wouldn’t be the way they are.Currently there is no relationship and everything is dealt with through the lawyers, but yeah.”
The Celebs Go Dating star, admitted that although she misses having someone special in her life, she struggles now with trust issues.
She said: I miss the intimacy and the closeness but it’s probably fair to say men are on the naughty list. No one can be trusted.
Later she says to camera: ‘I walked into the agency and unloaded everything. Everyone in my life has just shat on me basically.’
Indeed Lauryn has been locked in a year long feud with her sister Chloe Goodman and was even excluded from her wedding to footballer Grant Hall last year.
It is thought that the once close sisters became estranged over the revelation that Kyle had also fathered Lauryn’s second child, who was born in 2023, while he was still married to Annie.
