Lauryn Goodman has dropped a series of not-so-subtle hints that Kyle Walker is the biological father of both her children, after his wife Annie Kilner announced their separation.
She shares her eldest child, three-year-old son Kairo, with the footballer after they embarked on a brief romance during his temporary split from Annie in 2019.
Yet rumours have been circulating over the paternity of Lauryn’s daughter – who she welcomed in August with ‘another footballer’.
Since announcing her pregnancy last March she has dropped several hints that Kyle is also her youngest child’s parent, including confirming her daughter has the same initials as the footballer.
When she first welcomed her daughter – whose name she has not yet she revealed – she insisted in an Instagram post: ‘Please don’t believe everything you read, had lots of messages yesterday, just to clarify I have not had a baby with “another footballer” as per news articles.

Kyle’s wife Annie Kilner confirmed her split from the footballer in an Instagram post on Wednesday amid swirling rumours about the paternity of Lauryn’s daughter
‘I know there is speculation around little ones father and like I’ve stated publicly when the time is right.’
Yet fans were quick to question if she had stressed it wasn’t ‘another’ footballer because Kyle was in fact the father of both children.
After Annie confirmed her split from Kyle on Wednesday, Lauren updated her Instagram bio to reveal that her daughter’s surname begins with W, just as Kyle’s does, writing: ‘Mummy to @kairowalker & KW’.
It took a year for Lauryn to publicly reveal the name of her son but she first hinted at the news when she had a necklace made of his initials ‘KW’ which match his father’s.
Lauryn has also been liking a series of comments asking if Manchester City player Kyle is the father to her second child.
In one photo of her daughter she had the slogan ‘I’m A Lion’ on her chest, with questions raised if it is a reference to the England footballer.
The reality star did little to quash speculation as she liked a comment from a fan who wrote: ‘I’m a lion so is five now the magic number’.
Lauryn also liked the comment: ‘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.’
A comment that read: ‘you do realise people can be made to keep quiet, both babies surnames are Walker. Stop being thick’, was also liked by Lauren.
Last month, Lauryn shared a cryptic Instagram post as she revealed she would be ‘taking back control’ of her children’s lives.
Alongside a picture of her two children with their faces obscured, she shared: ‘Starting the new year afresh. Taking back control of our lives. No longer a puppet on a string.
‘We have missed our Insta family with sharing our journey and can’t wait to get back to sharing our daily lives with you all once I’ve explained what i need to. Sorry we left you guys for a bit it’s been a tough ride.’
Fans were quick to point out that her children had similar curly locks and after Lauryn revealed they had not inherited their hair from her, one follower asked: ‘So Kyle is also daughter’s dad ? They are twins look so alike speak your truth don’t let no one try and silence you for money !!! ❤️’
Another fan then shared: ‘Someone on Annie’s [Kilner] page has said who the dad is !!’
Lauryn hit back that it was just someone who ‘thinks they know’, adding: ‘if it’s “Nathan wood” that I’m being sent in my DMs I have no clue who that is. Think people are just stupid at this rate.’
The Ex On The Beach star, 32, has not revealed the father’s identity of her daughter since she welcomed her in August last year, but eagle-eyed fans believe she has dropped some clues
She revealed that her daughter’s surname begins with W, writing in her Instagram bio: ‘Mummy to @kairowalker & KW’
One comment ‘liked’ by Lauryn stated that Kyle ‘must be the dad’
She went on to like comments speculating about the paternity
Others pointed out Lauryn’s repeated Lions references and its relevance to football
Lauryn liked a remark claiming both of her children’s surnames were Walker
Fans also said Lauryn’s children have the ‘same beautiful hair’ with the TV star saying ‘not from those curly locks, mine’s dead straight’
Lauryn’s fans noticed in one photo of her daughter she had ‘I’m A Lion’ on her chest and another with lion emojis – questions were raised if it is a reference to the England footballer
When Lauryn welcomed her daughter in August a source told The Sun on Sunday: ‘Lauryn hasn’t said who the baby’s father is. Her friends think it is a footballer and have asked her outright — but she won’t tell anybody.
‘The baby girl is adorable. Very placid and feeding constantly. She has a huge amount of hair — a full head just like Kairo had when he was born.’
The clues come after Annie announced her separation from footballer husband Kyle after two years of marriage.
The brunette exchanged vows with Manchester City and England right-back Kyle in 2022 following a 12-year relationship, during which they welcomed three children.
But in an Instagram post on Wednesday evening, Annie confirmed her separation from the footballer.
She wrote: ‘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.’
Kyle, 33, shares Riaan, Roman and Reign from his 12-year relationship with Annie.
Last month it was claimed that Kyle and wife Annie had been having arguments about his involvement with Lauryn.
A source said: ‘Kyle and Annie have been arguing. She said she’d had enough because of all the ongoing stuff with Lauryn.
‘There was another legal meeting involving her and Kyle this week. It’s put a real strain on them.
‘Annie has done nothing wrong apart from trust him. She wants to keep things together.’
But Kyle set the record straight saying he is still with Annie after legal meetings with Lauryn that reportedly put a strain on their relationship.
The footballer is still in contact with Lauryn and is said to have bought her and her children a ‘£2.5m seaside mansion’ in September.
Yet Lauryn has accused Kyle’s wife Annie of treating her boy like an ‘outcast‘ and acting like he’s a ‘dirty secret’ after she commented on Kyle’s ‘three sons’ instead of four.
The two women are no stranger to being at loggerheads over Kyle fathering Lauryn’s child, with WAG Annie herself sharing three sons with the sportsman.
