Lauryn, 33, made a list of extravagant financial demands after giving birth to two of Kyle’s children behind his wife Annie Kilner’s back.

She dragged the footballer to family court but a judge sensationally ruled against most of her cash pleas.

Among her demands were £48,000 for fitted wardrobes and a media screen; £9115 for 14 CCTV cameras; £5,650 for an alarm; £52,164 for curtains and blinds.

The reality star also wanted a £30,000 car for a nanny, additional childcare payments of £3,900pcm until 2027 and a lump sum of £212,000 to buy premium bonds and a child ISA.

But she was slammed for her frivolous spending, which included forking out £15,396 on two sofas and £1,400 a month on gas bottles for garden lights.

Walker told the court he had already paid more than £1million to his ex-mistress, adding: “Lauryn wants to make it a showhome rather than a family home.

“Manage your money better.”

“It’s a contribution for me not being there physically, but I think some of the things you are asking for are disproportionate.”

In a dramatic showdown, the defender also lashed out at Goodman’s demands for £30,000 air con, telling the star: “Go to Curry’s and get a fan”.

He also slammed his ex for asking £30,000 for the nanny’s car every three years – telling her to hire one who is already equipped with a vehicle.

Walker added: “I don’t know how many people you would like me to pay for. The nanny? Lauryn? I will pay for my children. Does she want a chef?

“Let’s not be like because I earn the amount I earn, which I have done off my own back from football, that you can just spend my money and have an open cheque book.

“If I was a painter or decorator I can guarantee this would not have gone this far. It couldn’t have gone this far, I wouldn’t be able to afford it.”

Kyle also claimed he had paid Lauryn somewhere in the region of £1million already.

He added: “I feel like in all of this I have been more than generous. 

“I feel that the house that Lauryn has got is far too much but that was something that she wanted.

“The sums of money that she spent on certain things, maybe she should have decided that a little better and gone about it a different way.”

In another bizarre exchange, Goodman also moaned she couldn’t mow her own lawn as she demanded Walker pay for a £28-an-hour gardener to work 17 hours a week.

When challenged about the request, she moaned: “The lawn mower is heavy.”

She also wanted an Amazon budget as well as her £171.81 a month phone bill covered.

The court was told Kyle had been desperate to keep the paternity of Lauryn’s second baby secret.

She gave Kyle three ultimatums which included the purchase of a house, regular financial payments and an agreement not to have another child with Annie, it was said.

Nikki Saxton KC, for Kyle, told Lauryn: “You had Kyle over a barrel. You asked for a five fold increase in maintenance.

“You asked for £3,200 a month additional costs of running the house.”

Dad-of-six Kyle had started every single one of England’s matches at the Euros.

But he was dogged by the off-field drama throughout as his betrayed wife, Annie Kilner, travelled to Germany with their kids.

She was left devastated when Lauryn contacted her on December 27 to reveal that her second child – a daughter born last Summer – was also Kyle’s.

They share a son, Kairo, four, who was born in April 2020.

INSIDE THE CELEB COURT BATTLE OF THE YEAR

By Ed Southgate, News Reporter

A FOOTBALLER, a wannabe influencer and the fallout from a cheating scandal which resulted in two children. Kyle Walker’s showdown with Lauryn Goodman was the celebrity court battle of the year. 

There was certainly no love lost between the pair, who share a son and a daughter at the heart of this case, as they traded insults when giving evidence. 

Lauryn, clearly troubled by the extraordinary situation, was first up as she demanded eye-watering sums of money, including £70,000 for a Mercedes GLE.

She claimed (without much evidence) that Kyle “doesn’t do as he says”, said “the whole thing is just horrendous”, and insisted she has “always tried to work with him”, despite two scathing court judgments suggesting the opposite.

She also told the court: “I do feel like I’m controlled in a lot of aspects of my life. I want to live my life.”

But she was spectacularly torn apart for threatening to tell the world Kyle was the dad, or even to move closer to him, if he failed to meet her huge financial demands. At one point, she was in tears.

Kyle complained of being treated as an “open cheque book”, said Lauryn was “very interested in money” and insisted: “She should manage her money better”. He said he wanted to provide for the children, adding: “In all of this, I have been more than generous.”

This case was heard just two days after England’s heartbreaking 2-1 loss in the Euros final against Spain, and we can reveal that Kyle only found out the shock news of Gareth Southgate’s resignation at the same time as everyone else – midway through the first day. He told me how his head was “scrambled” and began processing the news in the car back that afternoon.

The right-back was clearly relieved when it was over, and said he was looking forward to going back to his home with wife Annie. It remains to be seen how Lauryn will deal with this latest blow – she is currently filming for C4’s Celebs Go Dating, which will earn her around £15,000. But Kyle will surely be hoping to be able to put these rocky few years behind him and enjoy his final few years in top-flight football.

Kyle was kicked out of the family home as Annie – pregnant with their fourth child at the time – vowed to divorce him.

He was forced to begin renting a mansion close to the family home in Prestbury, Cheshire, as he battled to save the marriage.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Kyle spoke of his sorrow and described Annie as his “soulmate”.

He said: “I’ve caused a lot of pain to a lot of people.
