Lauryn Goodman has shared her concern that her young son is growing up to see dad Kyle Walker as a distant father.
The 33-year-old influencer has been embroiled in scandal since she welcomed her first child with 34-year-old Kyle in April 2020 - with fans been rocked as he has been in a relationship with Annie Kilner since 2010 and they married in 2022. Lauryn drew further gasps in June 2023 when she welcomed daughter Kinara - again with Kyle as the father.
Lauryn has now shared insight into the way her children regard their father - with her four-year-old son, Kairo, seemingly regarding him as someone who exists on the outskirts of his life. The model had encouraged her son to draw a family portrait - and she was stunned by the end result.
Opening up on her podcast, titled Yours Sincerely, Lauryn revealed: "When I say to him, 'Who's his family?', he always says, 'Me, Kiki, and him'. That's what he classifies as his family." She then explained that a play therapist had suggested Kairo draw a picture of his family, and the final result say Kyle being sketched far from the other family members. Lauryn told listeners that she was told that the drawing meant Kairo his father as: "Very far away, there but not there."

lauryngoodman91/Instagram)The Influencer shared her story after noticing a 'My Family' letter written by her young son as part of a school project. She said: "So it was a real shock to me when I was sitting there in the class just minding our own business, learning phonics and learning maths with them, and I turned to the right, and this just literally wiped me out. I think when you're going through everything, it kind of just hits you that hard doesn't it?
"It [his picture and bio] said 'Daddy plays football, but I am the bestest at football in the whole wide world, and mummy sleeps with me at bedtime. Kiki likes holding my hand'."
She then shared the picture her son had drawn and explained: "He drew this picture, and it had Nana, mummy. So it's me, nana, Kiki and Cairo, Kiki's so tiny as well, anyway... miles away, nearly off the page, is his dad."

Lauryn continued: 'It's interesting, because I went and met with a play therapist after and I was talking to her about this picture, and she said that actually, kids, you learn a lot about kids with how they draw and what they write about and what they draw about. And I've never really thought about it, because obviously, when Kyra was younger, the drawings used a whale or a football or not really family orient people. This is the first time I've seen this. It's it literally took me by surprise."
Kyle's wife Anna has stood by him despite the scandalous affair - and together they have four children of their own.
