Lauryn Goodman claims Kyle Walker has 'abandoned' his kids as she makes savage football dig

Celebs Go Dating star Lauryn Goodman has claimed Kyle Walker has abandoned the two children they share together as she made a savage dig about his football skills

Lauryn Goodman has made a savage dig at Kyle Walker's football skills as she claimed he has abandoned their children.

The influencer, 33, shares her two children with the footballer. They share four-year-old son Kairo, who was conceived while Kyle was separated from wife Annie Kilner, and 16-month-old daughter Kinara following an affair. Kyle, who also has four children with Annie, was said to be stunned when she filed for divorce earlier this year.

Lauryn has since made a further claim about his parenting skills. She said: "Whilst my heart goes out to Kyle for the abuse he's been subjected to, I wish he had the same compassion for his two children he has abandoned, after having a relationship with them. Especially with Kyle knowing just how much Kairo is being impacted it ceases to amaze me how the industry has swept this under the carpet because he can kick a ball 'well'."

The mum-of-two shared her message following vile racist abuse targeted at Kyle. He was racially abused after Manchester City lost 2-0 to Juventus in the Champions League on Wednesday evening. After the match, he posted a message he received on Instagram, reading: "Bro you can f*** around and die you stupid a** n****."

Alongside the post, Kyle wrote: "No one should ever be subject to the sort of vile, racist and threatening abuse I have received online since last night's match. @instagram and the authorities need to stop this happening for the sake of all who are suffering this abuse. It is never acceptable. To our fans, we will continue working as a team to do better, to improve, and to turn the corner together."

Lauryn spoke out to defend him while also making the accusation he abandoned their children. She wrote: "I've just seen the vile racial abuse that my children's father has received. It's abhorrent and there is no place for racism in this world. It saddens me to see as I am raising our two biracial children without their heritage."

She also shared a message of support from a fan, which read: "Exactly what I thought when I read about it. Yes the comments are awful but what about his children he has abandoned." Lauryn added: "I'll leave this here for tonight but that's exactly my thoughts. It's an outrage."

Earlier this month, Lauryn spoke about her desire to rebuild her relationship with Kyle and for him to strengthen his bond with their children. She told Closer: "I hope we can all just move forward and do what’s right by all the children. I have faith and hope that bridges will be built for the sake of Kairo and Kinara, because at the end of the day, we share two wonderful children together and life is just too short."

She added: "I'm hopeful their dad will come back to them and continue to build his relationship with them. I hope for Kyle’s sake it is sooner rather than later, because Kairo is starting to understand now. He asks for his daddy and he’s starting to realise that maybe it's his choice [not to be around]. I always say that Daddy is busy playing football, but he’s not believing my excuses anymore."

The Mirror has contacted Kyle Walker's representatives for comment.
