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

    Inside Laura Woods and Adam Collard’s whirlwind romance as sports presenter and Love Island hunk expect first baby

    LAURA WOODS and Adam Collard have enjoyed a whirlwind romance – and are now expecting their first child together.The sports presenter and former Love Island hunk went public with their relationship in October.Laura Woods and Adam Collard have been going strong for nearly a yearCredit: Instagram @laurawoodsyThe former Love Island hunk wooed Laura with a string of texts before an undercover date in OctoberCredit: Instagram @laurawoodsyBut Laura’s ‘stability’ has also left Adam feeling the loveCredit: InstagramAnd they announced the wonderful news they are expecting a baby togetherThey are often seen on holiday togetherCredit: Instagram / @adamcollardThey’re not shy in sharing loved-up picsCredit: InstagramSince then they have been seen in scores of loved-up posts and been through their share of challenges.However, everything came to a head recently as they announced the wonderful news that Laura, 37, is expecting a baby.The TV presenter and award-winning journalist shared a picture of an ultrasound on Instagram, complete with her French bulldog peeking over the top.They have largely kept their relationship out of the public eye, which for notorious ladies’ man Adam, 28, seems to suggest he has turned a corner in his romantic life.READ MORE ON LAURA WOODSAdam spilled the beans on how he pulled Laura following a string of dates including at the Black Bull pub in Trimdon, Co Durham, and heading off for a weekend away in St Ives in early October before going public later that month.Speaking exclusively to The Sun in October, he revealed he had wooed her with a series of flirty social media messages before wining and dining her on an “undercover date”.He said: “The first time we met – I’ll hold my hands up – I did DM her first and got a reply but then nothing ever happened.

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.
