Walker’s relationship with Goodman, an Instagram model, has been a source of media frenzy since their brief affair during a split from his wife, Annie Kilner.
This affair resulted in two children, a son named Kairo, born in April 2020, and a daughter born earlier this year.
The ongoing legal battle centres around their co-parenting arrangements and child support issues.
What we know about Walker’s case against Lauryn Goodman
The court case between Walker and Goodman has been brewing for some time.
The pair’s co-parenting relationship has been fraught with tension and public spats.
Last year, Goodman lashed out at Walker for not including Kairo’s name on his custom football boots, which featured the names of his other children with Kilner.
Goodman’s grievances didn’t stop there. Following an incident where Walker was caught urinating against a hotel wall, Goodman sarcastically remarked that their son wasn’t the only one in need of potty training.
This incident added fuel to the fire, exacerbating the already strained relationship between the two.
In January, Kilner announced a temporary separation from Walker, citing his affair with Goodman and the birth of his second child with her as primary reasons.
Despite this, Kilner attended all of England’s matches during the Euro 2024 tournament, showing public support for Walker.
Inside the courtroom, sources revealed that Walker and Goodman’s legal teams are addressing complex issues related to child support and visitation rights.
Walker has reportedly been providing financial support for Goodman’s children but has struggled to maintain an emotional connection due to the ongoing public and legal battles.
Goodman, for her part, has defended her actions and maintained that her primary concern is the wellbeing of her children.
She stated that she does not see herself as doing anything wrong and has expressed frustration over the public scrutiny and media portrayal of her actions.
