UNDER fire Lauyrn Goodman has opened up about her affair with Manchester City footballer Kyle Walker, admitting that she can no longer trust men.
The 33-year-old‘s relationship with the married footballer has made her a household name, after it came to light that the pair have known each other for a decade and have two children together.
Now, as she appears on E4’s Celebs Go Dating, Lauryn has tearfully described the pain of being Britain’s most maligned mistress.
Speaking on the show during her introduction, she confessed that she’s a “shell” of herself.
She says: “I used to be really fun, outgoing, confident…but I feel like a bit of a shell of myself.
I’ve just had to deal with the bashes.”
The mother-of-two says she’s decided to appear on the show in a bid to redeem herself and show viewers her true personality.
She said: “I am probably best known for having a pretty crazy love life – people probably think that I am a homewrecker. . . and I go after peoples’ husbands. . . but that couldn’t be further from the truth.
That is why I joined the agency. I am just trying to find Lauryn again…
I think now is the right time. It’s been four years.”
Tearfully Lauryn admits that she’s had a tough time having been faced a torrent of criticism, as she insists that Kyle was not with his wife when their children were conceived.
She said: “’I’ve known Kyle since my early 20s, we were friends at the time – he’d always liked me. But I knew he had a girlfriend at the time. He kept everything very separate from her. It is 2019 and she’d kicked him out, he is not with her so I thought: ‘OK, why not?’
In July, the former lovers were embroiled in a high profile child maintenance court case, where the England player, 34, accused her of “insatiable greed” after the judge ruled in his favour.
During court proceedings, It was revealed the ex-mistress had been using the footballer as an “open-ended cheque book” after giving birth to JKairo.
Bombshell documents showed how she demanded eye-watering costs, which included £33,000 for air conditioning at her seven-bedroom mansion in Hove, Sussex, a £22,000 furnishing fund, £70,000 for a Mercedes GLE, to be replaced every three years, and a £30,000 car allowance for a nanny.
But, Lauryn has since claimed the millionaire footballer told her he had never “for a second” been sorry they had got together and wanted to “have my cake and eat it”.
The influencer added that the footballer who is married with four children, “wanted a secret double life playing happy families” with their two kids.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun on Sunday, Lauryn said he told her: “We can keep this between you and me.”
But Speaking yesterday on ITV’s This Morning, her first TV appearance since the case, Lauryn confessed that she no longer has a relationship with the father of her children, who also has four sons with his estranged wife Annie Kilner
She explained: “I can’t say I have any regrets because my children are my world. They wouldn’t be here, they wouldn’t be the way they are.Currently there is no relationship and everything is dealt with through the lawyers, but yeah.”
The Celebs Go Dating star, admitted that although she misses having someone special in her life, she struggles now with trust issues.
She said: I miss the intimacy and the closeness but it’s probably fair to say men are on the naughty list. No one can be trusted.
Later she says to camera: ‘I walked into the agency and unloaded everything. Everyone in my life has just shat on me basically.’
Indeed Lauryn has been locked in a year long feud with her sister Chloe Goodman and was even excluded from her wedding to footballer Grant Hall last year.
It is thought that the once close sisters became estranged over the revelation that Kyle had also fathered Lauryn’s second child, who was born in 2023, while he was still married to Annie.
