Lauryn and Chloe Goodman avoid awkward run-in at star-studded Christmas event

Sisters Lauryn and Chloe Goodman still haven't patched things up months on from Lauryn's bombshell that Kyle Walker had also fathered her second child

Lauryn and Chloe Goodman narrowly avoided an awkward run-in when they both attended a Christmas event on Friday night.

The feuding pair kept their distance on the red carpet as they were spotted at the Tulleys Christmas Light Festival in Crawley, West Sussex, not far from Lauryn's Brighton home.

While Chloe, 31, was there with her four-year-old daughter Isla, who she shares with husband Grant Hall, Lauryn walked the carpet alone. It's not known if the two children she shares with footballer Kyle Walker were also at the event, but 33-year-old Lauryn took the opportunity to pose for the cameras dressed in head-to-toe designer clobber.

Donning all in black, Lauryn wore a Balmain scarf, which she teamed with Chanel wellies and a Chanel handbag. Her little sister Chloe wore a similar black outfit, minus any obvious designer name tags. The once close sisters didn't appear to acknowledge each other at the event, which was also attended by the likes of Princess Andre, Jedward and TOWIE's James 'Arg' Argent, who was there with his new girlfriend, Nicoline Artursson.

Things went wrong between the siblings when Chloe discovered her older sister had had a second child with married Manchester City and England star Kyle. It came after she got pregnant with son Kairo, four, during a fling with the footballer when he was on a break from wife and childhood sweetheart Annie Kilner in 2019.

Then in January this year, it emerged he had also fathered Lauryn's one-year-old daughter Kinara, who was born last summer. After taking Kyle back, Annie - who shares four sons with him - has now filed for divorce after realising she couldn't forgive him.

Following the scandal, Chloe cut all ties with big sister Lauryn and banned her from attending her wedding in Portugal in June. In a social media post afterwards, Chloe shared joyful snaps looking back at her big day, Youngest sister Amelia, 25, had been given the honour of Chief Bridesmaid. But Lauryn and her two children were nowhere to be seen.

Chloe said at the time she uninvited Lauryn to avoid a 'frenzy' over her wedding day, which she didn't want overshadowed by the Lauryn/Kyle second baby scandal. She said at the time: "The least Lauryn could have done is kept it quiet that Kyle was the dad of her second-born until after the wedding."

Lauryn hit the headlines again after losing her family court battle against Kyle, with a judge ruling that she'd viewed the Man City player as an 'open-ended chequebook'. A number of people on social media also took a similar view, especially after reading through the eye-watering shopping list she'd drawn up for him.

The former TOWIE star had made a number of luxury requests from the father of her children, including £33,000 for air conditioning at her £2.4million mansion plus a £31,000 astro turf pitch for daughter Kinara, who the mum-of-two hopes is a budding Lioness.

Chloe has since said she wants to rebuild her relationship with Lauryn, but isn't ready to do it just yet. She told The Sun: "I don’t think it’s a case of forgiveness, it’s a case of timing. I’m not ready to sit down and discuss things with her yet. I feel I would get emotional and angry and I could say things I might regret."

While the pair still visit each other, so their children continue to have a relationship - Chloe also has two-year-old son Hudson, as well as daughter Isla, four - she only does this at their mother's request and still hasn't 'properly spoken' to Lauryn.
