Kyle Walker is considering taking out a harassment order against Lauryn Goodman.
Friends say the England and Man City ace is in contact with lawyers over his ex-mistress’s social media posts.
Two law firms have advised him he has grounds to take action and he is said to be “carefully looking at options”.
A source says the footballer, 34, is desperate to protect his four young sons with wife Annie Kilner, 32, from Lauryn’s social media posts. Lauryn, 33.
Has stepped up online attacks since being humiliated in court over her megabucks maintenance demands on him for their two children
The judge accused her of being “difficult, unreasonable” and treating Kyle like an “open-ended chequebook”.
Judge Edward Hess also blasted the reality TV star and social media influencer for deliberately causing distress to Kyle’s wife. But since his judgement three weeks ago, things have only escalated, said our source.
“It has gotten worse with stories appearing every day and Lauryn posting regularly on her social media,” the insider said. “It’s become impossible for Annie and the kids to ignore. “Even though they don’t follow her, it gets repeated online and then discussed on huge social media platforms like TikTok which is available to a lot of children and it’s beginning to take a toll on them. “That’s a real red flag for Kyle. He is being advised what his best options are, although he really doesn’t want to have to take steps like this. But it’s now starting to look like he has to, at least, consider it.” Kyle and Annie first dated as teenagers in their home town of Sheffield and have sons Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, Reign, five, and four-month-old Rezon.
He also has two kids with Lauryn – son Kairo, four, and one-year-old daughter Kinara. Annie booted Kyle out of their home earlier this year after news of his second love child emerged. But in April he is said to have been by Annie’s side as she gave birth to their fourth son Rezon. She announced she was taking “some time away” from her marriage in January but they are now believed to be working through their problems. Last week Lauryn shared a series of Snapchat messages she claims were sent to her from the footballer.
Alongside one, she threatened: “If you keep coming for me I will keep dishing out the FACTS. Believe me I have a BOOK load.” Lauryn also shared a message from a follower who branded Annie his “bitter horrible wife”. London solicitor Jennifer Obaseki claimed Lauryn’s constant digs on social media amounted to harassment. She added: “Her campaign of persistent online attacks towards Kyle, and his wife Annie, can be considered harassing behaviour with the intent to cause emotional harm or distress.” Our source said of his legal moves: “This is about keeping his wife Annie and the kids from getting dragged into the spotlight every time she posts something to her 230,000 followers.
“He wanted to resolve matters between them to limit damage to all the children, especially the ones in and starting school as they can face cruel playground taunts.” In July, days after returning from playing for England in the Euro 2024 tournament, right-back Kyle – said to be worth £26million – appeared at the Central Family Court in London to fight Lauryn’s child maintenance demands. Lauryn, a model and star of E4’s Celebs Go Dating, wanted £14,750 a month for their kids. Other demands included £70,000 for a Mercedes every three years, a £67,000 salary, and a £30,000 car plus driving lessons for a nanny. She also asked for £33,000 air-conditioning in the £2.4million Sussex home Kyle had paid for, and £31,200 for an AstroTurf football pitch for Kinara to play on.
In his judgement, Judge Hess ordered Kyle to pay £12,500 per month child maintenance. But he rejected many of Lauryn’s demands, including the AstroTurf request, observing: “I remind myself that Kinara has just turned one year old and is not yet walking.” He described Kyle as “honest” but Lauryn didn’t have a “good track record of telling the truth”. The judge said she “repeatedly placed in the public domain – both via the media and via her public social media profile – images, video and audio of the parties’ children, together with statements about the father and his marriage to Ms Kilner”.
After dropping obvious social media hints about her daughter’s paternity, she eventually sent Annie a text message on December 27 last year when she knew her husband would be out playing football, saying: “Hey its Lauryn I just wanted to quickly tell you that Kyle is the father of our daughter.” The judge added: “This was intended to, and did, cause distress to the father’s wife.” In a rare move, the judge lifted the anonymity order normally imposed on family courts, ruling Lauryn could not argue for her kids’ privacy after going to the Euros with “her son dressed in an England football shirt with the name ‘Daddy’ on the back, and to be willingly photographed”.
