Lauryn Goodman says 'isn't the case' as she addresses Annie Kilner and Kyle Walker divorce
by Annabal Bagdi, https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/authors/annabal-bagdi/ · Birmingham LiveLauryn Goodman has shut down speculation that Annie Kilner and Kyle Walker's divorce will impact child maintenance payments the footballer gives her. The Channel 4 Celebs Go Dating star receives financial support from the Manchester City defender for the two children they share together - Kairo, four, and Kinara, one.
The influencer fell pregnant with her children during flings with the footballer - one while he was married to childhood sweetheart Annie. Mum-of-four Annie is understood to have recently instructed lawyers to start divorce proceedings.
The 32-year-old temporarily separated from Kyle last year after it emerged that he had fathered a second child with Lauryn. But Kyle moved back into the family home, with Annie giving birth to their fourth child together in April.

Despite insisting they were working on their marriage, Annie has reportedly called it quits. Now Lauryn has addressed questions over whether the split will affect her two children, MailOnline reports.
During an Instagram Q and A over the weekend, one follower asked her: "Do you think Annie is doing this "divorce" so your kids don't get any money?" Lauryn replied: "Few of these. Silly if you believe that narrative... Doesn't affect my children's maintenance whatsoever.
"It's totally different and has no impact. I won't say too much but this isn't the case." It comes after Kyle and Lauryn faced each other in court over his child maintenance payments.
A judge said Lauryn should receive £12,500 per month and £51,000 towards a new car every three years. But her requests for a £33,000 air conditioning unit and £31,200 astro turf were thrown out.
She was slammed for treating the footballer as an 'open-ended chequebook'. After Annie began legal proceedings for divorce, a source told MailOnline: "Things are as bad between them as they have ever been. It wasn't like a normal marriage.
"They have barely been speaking to each other. She is divorcing Kyle because she just can't forgive him for what he's done to her. She can't get over it. She has tried.
"Kyle seems to have accepted it's over. He's been happier in the last week or so. Like the weight of the world's been lifted from his shoulders."
