Lauryn Goodman has hit back at those who have accused her of trying to get more money from Kyle Walker.
Back in July, the influencer, 33, and Kyle, 34, battled each other in court over child maintenance for their two children, Kairo, four, and Kinara, 15 months.
During the court hearing, the judge stated Kyle must pay the influencer £12,500 per month and £51,000 towards a new car every three years.
In the latest episode of her podcast, Yours Sincerely, Lauryn revealed all the money she receives from the footballer goes on their children.
The Celebs Go Dating star said: ‘The money I get wasn’t for me. I think this goes over people’s heads.
‘I didn’t get divorced from him. It was child maintenance for my children. Obviously my kids are very privileged. Kyle knows I appreciate it but genuinely everything is for the kids.

‘I’m not looking to get more money.’
Of what Lauryn is spending the maintenance on, she said: ‘There’s so much that goes into paying for a child. All their clubs, school lunches. Swimming lessons are expensive.’
Lauryn went on to say she has been ‘shocked’ by the amount she has been spending on fuel taking their son to school and said the long journeys have caused ‘wear and tear’ on her car.
The reality star also said her son has started asking when they will go on a family holiday to Dubai.
She said: ‘Kairo says to me “mum when are we going to Dubai?”
‘If I wouldn’t be able to get him there, I would feel awful. I would probably work super hard to try and get him there.’
Lauryn’s podcast host Lisa Andrews told her: ‘My point Lauryn is that your standard is Dubai, that’s what Kairo is used to. Your lifestyle. My advice is go on a caravan holiday.’
The television personality then replied she had taken her son on a caravan holiday.
Elsewhere during the podcast, Lauryn revealed Kyle did give her ‘extra’ money as a thank you for bringing up their children.

She said: ‘One time Kyle said to me that he wanted to give me extra because he appreciates the fact of what I do for the children outside of him being around all the time.
‘He was like “I appreciate that”. It was like a thank you. It was probably one of the times where I was like “he actually understands what I do for our children”.’
In July, Kyle was praised by a judge for being ‘sensible, honest and reliable’ during the family court battle with Lauryn over child maintenance payments.
Lauryn asked the court to order Kyle pay £14,750 a month in ‘global’ child maintenance for the pair’s two children, as well as tens of thousands for cars, furnishing and property maintenance and other costs such as nursery fees.
The footballer opposed some of the demands or argued they should be decreased, telling the court that he was not an ‘open cheque book’ despite earning between £3million and £5million per year.
In his ruling, Judge Edward Hess dismissed many of Lauryn’s demands, concluding that she was ‘not reliable’ while claiming Kyle ‘acted with dignity and generosity’.
The court heard Lauryn began her legal claim two days after Kinara’s birth.
Her demands included the footballer paid for the upkeep of a hydro-pool, a £28-per-hour gardener, a car worth up to £70,000 every three years and air conditioning costing around £33,000.
In court, Lauryn justified the need for a £31,200 artificial turf pitch by stating Kinara kicked a ball from a crawling position, which could make her a future England footballer, adding: ‘The Lionesses are better than the Lions.’
But the judge dismissed the demand, describing her reasoning as an ‘unjustified evidential leap’.
Kyle was ordered to pay £12,500 per month in child maintenance – a figure he offered before the hearing began – and a sum of £5,000 for furniture compared with Lauryn’s initial demand of £20,000.
The footballer was also ordered to pay £30,000 for a car to be used by a nanny and other fees.
Meanwhile, Kyle’s estranged wife Annie, 32, instructed lawyers in October to begin legal proceedings as she prepares to fight for half of the Manchester City defender’s £27million fortune.
The couple separated last December after Kyle was revealed to have fathered his second child with Lauryn, who texted Annie to reveal the news.
After Annie began legal proceedings for divorce, a source told MailOnline: ‘Things are as bad between them as they have ever been. It wasn’t like a normal marriage.
‘They have barely been speaking to each other. She is divorcing Kyle because she just can’t forgive him for what he’s done to her. She can’t get over it. She has tried.
‘Kyle seems to have accepted it’s over.’
