The money I’m giving them quite happily. “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”.Lauryn Goodman issued warning by Celebs Go Dating over Kyle Walker drama as she breaks down in floods of tears on the show 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.Kyle 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 YEARBy Ed Southgate, News ReporterA 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. READ MORE SUN STORIES”What I’ve done is horrible and I take full responsibility. I made idiot choices and idiot decisions.”The only person to blame is me.”Lauryn was seen treating her children to some toys in Brighton todayCredit: SplashShe looked in high spiritsCredit: Splash More

Then she called us out for basically leaving her on read.”It’s hard to meet people, isn’t it? I’m from Newcastle and eventually we met up, and then went on a very undercover date, and obviously what comes out in the press, comes out in the press, but it’s not always the full story.Most read in FootballBEST FREE BET SIGN UP OFFERS FOR UK BOOKMAKERSLaura is a regular sight on Adam’s InstagramCredit: instagramThey make the most of their free time togetherCredit: Instagram @laurawoodsy”I’m kind of glad in a way as well, as I feel like there’s an element of having to hide too much now.”Laura’s charm seemed to rub off on Adam almost instantly, as he also suggested he felt he might have found “The One”.How Euro 2024 host Laura Woods finally tamed Love Island’s biggest bad boy Adam Collard who made Joey Essex look like a puppyBy Christmas, Laura’s parents had also given the seal of approval for their relationship as he spent the holidays with her, joking that “luckily they don’t read many papers”.Yet even before that, Laura and Adam enjoyed a romantic getaway to Amsterdam, Holland, which saw them checking out a rude restaurant, enjoying a trip down the city canal’s and relaxing in a spa.Adam claims to have had 25 girlfriends in the past, yet the “influence of stability” – as relationship expert Jo Hemmings puts it – Laura gives off has been the cornerstone of their blossoming romance.While the pair have continued to be front and centre in their respective careers, with Laura a fan favourite on ITV and TNT Sports, they have also made time for each other.When they aren’t grafting, they have often been seen enjoying one another’s company on holiday.Following their trip to Amsterdam, their next getaway in February saw them skiiing on the famous French Alps, though Laura revealed it resulted in a few “near-death experiences”.In March, during the international break, the pair changed lanes by jetting off together for some sun and sea at Tulum Beach in Mexico.Adam and Laura shared a number of snaps from the holiday, including one of Laura planting a kiss on Adam’s cheek while they were at a restaurant before also revealing what their favourite food was following a date night at Checkpoint Ciao.How Laura Woods tamed Love Island bad boy Adam CollardHE was one of Love Island’s most notorious bad boys – but one woman seems to have changed all that.Personal trainer Adam Collard, 28, has been dating Euro 2024 presenter Laura Woods, 36, since 2023.The former loverat has called her “The One,” spent Christmas with her – the first time he’s done so with a girlfriend since he was 21 – and kept their relationship relatively out of the limelight, seemingly on Laura’s wishes.It’s a far cry from the man who admits himself he’s been “ruthless” in the past, claims to have had 25 girlfriends, and spent many years partying and juggling flings with girls including Zara McDermott and Lottie Moss.Relationship expert Jo Hemmings says: “He’s now 28, he’s a professional with a job, and I think he just went off the whole idea of ever realistically meeting somebody on a TV show.“He’s now met somebody who is also a professional, and is only on TV as a byproduct of what she does in sport.“He’s got himself in a comfortable place. Financially, he’s older, he’s more mature, he’s more settled.“He once played into this roguish character that people saw him as, and became a parody of himself. But look who’s laughing now.“He’s got a fabulous girlfriend, they’re in a long term relationship, he’s well off, he’s still in the public eye, and he’s getting on with his life in the way that I think he always wanted.”Read the full article hereThe following month, Laura shared a selfie from the Tulum trip featuring Adam with the caption: “Things I love.”However, in May as the hectic English football season drew to a close, Laura suffered an horrorendous facial injury.Laura had been due to present TNT Sports’ coverage of Tyson Fury’s undisputed heavyweight title fight with Oleksandry Usyk before she was forced to pull out after revealing she had accidentally smashed a glass lampshade while on holiday with Adam.She explained how the smash had caused it to shatter before it cut her face and arm, leaving her with some nasty injuries around her eye.Unfortunately, the freak accident was used by vile trolls as a way to bash Adam by suggesting he was involved, before he snapped back: “Shut up you stupid c*** and read her Instagram post.”Laura described Adam as her “hero” that day as she hailed him for “acting so quickly and not leaving my side since and to his family for taking care of me in a time when I was petrified”.After some time being seen with a bandage around the effected area, Laura was back on TV in time for ITV’s coverage of the Euros.In early July, Adam posted a loved-up pic of the pair to celebrate Laura’s birthday, captioning the post: “Happy birthday you rockstar x.”Laura had a nasty accident in May when she shattered a lampshadeCredit: Instagram @laurawoodsyLaura described Adam as a ‘hero’ for all his helpAnd fast forward a couple of weeks and they have shared the news that they are expecting a baby.The post was simply captioned: “Hey, baby,” followed by some love heart emojis.However, some eagled-eyed fans had noticed some telltale signs that gave away the news days prior.Recent social media posts by Laura had not showed her stomach, while a post from Adam saw a note reading: “Just remember 5 years ago, you dreamed about where you are now”, which may have been another clue.Fans also noticed a brief social media hiatus from them in the days prior to the announcement.Adam has made no secret of his desire to have kids, but declared he would not be plastering them all over social media.He previously said: “I’m protective, whether it’s Laura, or my family, my friends. I want to get married. I want to have kids as well. “I’ve always thought, what type of person will I be? How can I protect my kids?”Obviously I’ve never had a kid, but I don’t think I’ll be plastering it all over [social media]. “I want them to have a fair fight and a chance not to be judged straight away.READ MORE SUN STORIES”As long as my really close circle knows exactly who I am, I don’t care.

But he feels like it’s time to write a new chapter in his life with his perfect little family.”Most read in FootballThe pal added: “Jack and Sasha are besotted with each other and couldn’t be more delighted and excited at the thought of raising their own little one together.Jack Grealish shares video of himself training at Man City during England’s Slovenia snooze-fest after Euro 2024 snub “Getting dropped from the England squad broke Jack’s heart.“He is so proud to represent his country and gives his all every time he pulls on the shirt.“But the silver lining is that he has at least been able to spend more time with Sasha and be at her beck and call as she carries their child.”So in the coming months and years we can expect to see a different side to lovable Jack, who was born in Birmingham, raised in nearby Solihull and who has made his name across the globe.Since bursting on to the scene with a debut for his boyhood club Aston Villa ten years ago, Jack has stolen hearts with his raw personality and genuine connection with supporters.Unlike most of today’s sports pros, who appear scared to share too much, Jack speaks with searing honesty — whether about his performances on the pitch or the family heartbreak he has suffered away from it.And he clearly has no qualms about being snapped enjoying himself out on the lash. He has been pictured at Wayne Lineker’s O Beach bar in Ibiza and with a pal steadying him on holiday in Dubai last month.It is this side of his character that has sometimes landed him in hot water, like when he was snapped bleary-eyed leaving a Las Vegas club with a brunette at 3am in 2022, or when, aged just 19, he was seen passed out on a road in Tenerife.Jack continued to lead the boozy blowout back home, standing topless on a tram to City’s trophy parade, before having Grey Goose vodka poured down his throat. But it is also this side to Jack that has endeared him to fans across the football divide — Birmingham City supporters aside — in a way that only a handful of stars, such as Three Lions legend Paul Gascoigne, have done before. Take, for example, when this sorry journo (a Manchester United fan) was tasked with covering the Champions League final in Istanbul, Turkey, in June last year, where City beat Inter Milan 1-0 to match the Red Devils’ feat of winning that trophy, the Premier League and FA Cup.The following day, as celebrating players downed bottles of beer after little or no sleep, and made their way on to the City-emblazoned team coach outside their hotel, a head kept poking out of the vehicle’s sunroof.It was none other than Grealish — who else? — and he was belting out a rap song and shouting, “Woo!” before they set off for home, the famous old “big ears” trophy in their clutches for the first time. Even as a begrudging rival fan, I couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of a lad who is the same age as me at the pinnacle of his profession and just loving life. Jack continued to lead the boozy blowout back home, standing topless on a tram to City’s trophy parade, before having Grey Goose vodka poured down his throat by a team-mate while covering up his top half with just a hi-vis jacket.Along the way, cheering Jack on through the highs and lows, has been model Sasha. The pair began dating when they were 16, having met at St Peter’s Catholic School in Solihull.They live in a £5.6million Cheshire mansion with their beloved apricot cockapoo Skye, whose fourth birthday they celebrated on Sunday, along with their big pregnancy reveal.Jack was given Skye as a birthday present by Sasha, and calls her the “world’s best dog”.The couple enjoy holidays to destinations including Dubai and the South of France when £300,000-a-week Jack has a break from his footie schedule.‘Deeply in love’But they were left shaken when their home was targeted in a terrifying midweek raid in December as Jack played against Everton — while Sasha and others were inside.Despite some bumps along the road, it is clear for all to see that the couple remain deeply in love.After City’s Champions League final triumph over Inter Milan, Sasha was seen holding the trophy with her man and they shared a kiss on the pitch. Also there was Jack’s family, who he is incredibly close to. The footie ace — who could have played for Ireland thanks to his grandparents’ roots — is the eldest of five kids. His sister Hollie, 20, was born with cerebral palsy and he calls her his ‘best friend’. His dad, Kevin, is a former plasterer and mum Karen is the director of a property management firm.In 2000, when Jack was four, he tragically lost his brother Keelan to sudden infant death syndrome when he was just nine months old. The star dedicated his Aston Villa derby goal against Birmingham to his late sibling in 2018.His sister Hollie, 20, was born with cerebral palsy.Jack has said of his family life: “My little brother passed away when I was young. My little sister has cerebral palsy. She’s like my best friend.” Jack also does his bit for charity. He supports Children In Need and last year became an ambassador for Special Olympics GB, saying passionately: “Nobody should be excluded from opportunities, and I can’t stand bullying or discrimination.” He donated £5,000 to a GoFundMe page for Dylan Lamb, a 20-year-old student given weeks to live after being diagnosed with leukaemia, to help him get medical treatment in America.In 2022, Jack vowed to do a goal celebration for Finlay Fisher, an 11-year-old fan with cerebral palsy, if he scored at the World Cup in Qatar. Lo and behold, he did — and stayed true to his word, performing the lad’s favourite “worm” dance. Jack is the David Beckham of his generation, adored by so many and with the footie skills, boyish good looks and mega-money brand deals to boot. Although his monster calves put Becks to shame.Despite being gutted at missing out on Southgate’s Euros squad, he is first to admit when he has not been up to scratch.After manager Pep Guardiola’s City won a record fourth Premier League title in a row, Jack said: “I don’t feel like I’ve performed well this season.” But Spanish coach Pep, 53, vowed: “Jack will be back.”READ MORE SUN STORIESWhile getting his career on track again, the footie ace will soon have another mouth to feed.Best brush up on those dribbling skills!Jack toasts Man City’s treble with the team’s goalkeeper Stefan OrtegaJack’s sister Hollie, 20, above, was born with cerebral palsy and he calls her his ‘best friend’ More
