Lauryn Goodman has been seen for the first time since it was revealed Kyle Walker is the father of her five-month-old daughter.
The Manchester City defender, 33, was rumoured to be the biological dad after she gave birth in August and claimed to have welcomed a child with ‘another footballer’.
And since Kyle’s wife Annie Kilner, 30, announced the couple’s separation on Wednesday, MailOnline confirmed this is the second child he has fathered with Lauryn.
He also shares three-year-old son Kairo, with the social media star, 32, after they embarked on a brief romance during his temporary split from Annie in 2019.
Lauryn was spotted for the first time since the scandal unfolded as she was headed on a coffee run in Sussex on Thursday.

After Kyle’s wife Annie Kilner (pictured in June) announced the couple’s separation on Wednesday, MailOnline confirmed Kyle fathered both Lauryn’s children
The mother-of-two looked strained as she took a call while holding her daughter – whose name she is yet to disclose – on her other hip.
She dressed in all-black for the outing, teaming an oversized hoodie with flared leggings and chunky trainers.
Her hair was worn in a ponytail showcasing her recent weight loss and she failed to raise a smile during her brief outing.
Lauryn has yet to speak out about the confirmation of her children’s paternity but dropped a series of not-so subtle clues that Kyle was the father.
However sources close to Kyle and his estranged wife say that Annie knew for some time the baby is Kyle’s and it did not spark her decision to take a break from the marriage.
A friend said: ‘Kyle and Annie have been on the rocks for some time.
‘There are lots of historic issues between them, as well as his dalliances with Lauryn, that has led to the break up.
‘They are both putting on a united front for the sake of the three children they share together, who are their main concern.
‘The marriage isn’t 100 per cent over, it could be rescued, but there needs to be lots of healing first. They need to take a break from the relationship to restock and reevaluate.’
The friend added: ‘Kyle is no longer in contact with Lauryn.
‘Her stirring behind the scenes have really affected Annie and had a detrimental impact on her health.’
Kyle is believed to have moved out of the couple’s £2.4million mansion in wake of the separation.

Despite separating, Kyle and Annie are now both being representated by PR guru Rachel Monk, who helped guide Coleen Rooney through her Wagatha Christie High Court battle with Rebekah Vardy.
Kyle has listed Rachel’s email on his Instagram account for ‘all non-football media enquiries’.
Despite their joint representation, a source insisted: ‘They are very much apart at the moment. There is no softening the blow of what has gone on.’
Meanwhile, leading legal minds have told MailOnline that Annie could be entitled to half her husband’s £27million fortune.
This comes amid rumours she is already speaking to divorce lawyers about a settlement.

Lauryn hinted in her Instagram her second child could be Kyle’s after updating her bio to reveal that her daughter’s surname begins with W, just as Kyle’s does, writing: ‘Mummy to @kairowalker & KW’.
Lauryn has also been liking a series of comments asking if Manchester City player Kyle is the father to her second child.
One read: ‘I’m actually shook! As Kyle Walker must be the dad with all these clues!! But is he having a relationship with 2 women?! Jeez all the poor kids involved.’
Another comment: ‘You do realise people can be made to keep quiet, both babies surnames are Walker. Stop being thick’, was also liked by Lauryn.
Kyle and Annie share three children – Riaan, Roman and Reign.
The childhood sweethearts married two years ago but have been in a relationship for 13 years.
Announcing their separation on Sunday, Annie said in an Instragam post: ‘Sadly, after many years of marriage and three wonderful children together, I have decided to take some time away from Kyle.
‘I do not wish to comment on the position any further. For now, I ask that the privacy of myself and my three young children be respected during this difficult time.’
Kyle and Annie’s relationship was marred with allegations surrounding the England star’s infidelity, but his partner would always take him back.
There were claims he held a sex party in lockdown with escorts and shared texts with a Playboy model while away on international duty.
There was also a vehement Facebook denial eight years ago that he was in any way linked to an explicit and sickening video involving a woman.
After Kyle was caught on CCTV in a bar apparently flashing friends and fondling a mystery blonde woman’s breasts last year, his wife famously posted on social media: ‘No matter how good you are to people, it won’t make them good to you.’

MailOnline confirmed Kyle fathered both of Lauryn’s children – three-year-old son Kairo and a five-month-old daughter – after she shared a slew of clues
But it appears it was his on-off relationship with Lauryn that was the trigger for the split, after an alleged promise to Annie that he was no longer in contact with her was broken and he was kicked out of the family’s £2.4million Cheshire mansion five months ago.
MailOnline revealed on Thursday he is now in a Manchester penthouse.
Kyle’s off pitch scandals have not seemed to affect his life on the pitch.
He won the Treble with Manchester City last season and was named club captain by manager Pep Guardiola following the departure of previous skipper Ilkay Gundogan.
He also remains a key player in Gareth Southgate’s England side, where he has amassed 81 caps, scoring his first Three Lions goal against Ukraine in September.

On Thursday night, Lauryn’s sister Amelia broke her silence on the scandal.
The Goodman family have been thrust back into the spotlight amid the scandal and it has since been claimed that Amelia and Chloe Goodman – of Ex On The Beach and Celebrity Big Brother fame – have fallen out with Lauryn.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, Amelia, 25 – who has not chased fame and works at an aesthetic and beauty clinic in Brighton – shared a series of cryptic posts as she insisted she ‘isn’t involved’ in anything.
She began by writing: ‘Funny when stories are getting sold left right and centre but no one seems to be the one selling them.’
Amelia then shared a picture of a group of men dressed as Spider-Man pointing at one another, captioned: ‘Lol.’
The meme is often used to mock people or groups who claim to be different but act similarly or those who point figures at others when they are the problem.
In another cryptic post, Amelia shared: ‘It’s very rare that I speak out regarding the situation involving my family.
‘I am a private person and choose to live my life like so. However it’s been made clear through the tons of hate I am receiving that if I stay silent people seem to think I’m a part of it.
‘I would like to make clear that I have never and will never be involved in this situation. I do not speak to anyone associated with it either.’
While Lauryn has been dominating headlines of late she typically shared the limelight with her siblings.
Along with Chloe and younger sibling Amelia, 25, the trio would often be photographed enjoying wild nights out.
Once an inseparable trio, relations have turned frosty between the siblings in recent months, with Chloe and Amelia both unfollowing Lauryn on Instagram and scrubbing any images of her from her account.
In turn, Lauryn has done the same to her younger sisters, who are still said to be close with one another.

It’s a remarkable turn of events given their once ironclad relationship.
Lauryn and Chloe were so close that they lived together in 2020 and helped one another with parenting after they welcomed their first children within weeks of one another.
While Lauryn prepared to raise her child as a single mother, she was supported by Chloe and her footballer fiancé Grant Hall.
Chloe was also by Lauryn’s side in 2019 when she was handed a seven-month suspended sentence and ordered to carry out 200 hours on unpaid work after being found guilty of benefit fraud.
A source told The Sun: ‘Lauryn and Chloe had a bad fall out last year and unfollowed each other then. They haven’t made up since and still haven’t reconnected on social media. It’s really sad as they were so close.’
