Lauryn Goodman has revealed who her son, Kairo, sees as his family in a heartbreaking admission.
The four-year-old's father, Kyle Walker, 34, has a limited relationship with his son, who was desperate to catch a glimpse of the footballer on the pitch at the Euros this summer in heart-wrenching scenes.
Lauryn, 33, has spoken openly about her desire for Kyle to be closer to his son and her daughter, Kinara, one. However, now she says Kairo only sees two people as his family - Lauryn and his baby sister.
Opening up about her family dynamic on the Yours Sincerely podcast with pal, Lisa Andrews, the influencer produced a drawing of Kairo's in which the figure of 'Daddy' was almost off the page and noticeably absent from 'Nana', 'Mummy' and baby 'Kiki'.

Subconsciously that's how he views him. He's there, but not there. It makes me so sad...it's sad but true."
Revealing who Kairo sees as his family, the Celebs Go Dating star said her son told her: "It's me, Kiki and him. That's what he classifies as his family."
Lauryn has been embroiled in scandal since she welcomed her first child with Kyle in April 2020. The footballer, who had been in a relationship with Annie since 2010, was slammed for his infidelity. But then it happened again when he fathered Lauryn's daughter, Kinara.
It was reported that Annie had banned Kyle from seeing his children with Lauryn, however a spokesperson for the mum-of-four told the Mirror: "The idea that Annie has banned Kyle from seeing Lauryn’s children is simply untrue. The way Lauryn has behaved towards Annie and her children has made it impossible for Kyle to forge an emotional relationship with them without protecting the privacy of his own family. Kyle provides for Lauryns children financially and will continue to do so.
"They don’t enjoy the spectacle involving children and are frustrated that Lauryn continues to play it out so publically without thought for the feelings of all the young ones involved."
Despite appearing to stand by her man for months after the scandal broke, Annie finally threw in the towel when it was announced last month that she was filing for divorce from the Man City star after his betrayal.
