Lauryn Goodman pulled out all the stops to make sure her daughter’s first birthday was absolutely perfect on Thusday.
To mark the one-year-old’s milestone, the TV personality, 33, threw an incredible Teddy Bear’s Picnic themed bash, complete with a pancake cart, towering cake and a horse box photobooth.
The mother-of-two, who shares the tot, known by her initials KW and son Kairo, four, with England footballer Kyle Walker, praised her daughter’s ‘magical soul’ and promised to ‘always treat her children the same’ in a sweet tribute.
Lauryn transformed her garden into a scene from a storybook with a long picnic table, filled with child appropriate Charcuterie, and a teddy bear mascot.
The children enjoyed a bouncy castle, soft play area and bubbles and dined on a popsicle tower and cake push pops, before heading home with teddy favours.

Sharing a clip to Instagram, Lauryn wrote: ‘Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter KW. There’s no smile brighter than yours and I promise I will always treat you and your brother the same.
‘You mean the absolute world to me and were destined to be here. You have no idea how much joy you bring us and your soul is so magical.
‘You are one of kind an I am truly blessed to be your mama, thank you for being you. I can’t believe how much you look like your brother and I’m so happy with our little family unit.
I hope you had the best day with your Teddy bear picnic theme organised by @naturalplaycompany_’
Lauryn and Kyle welcomed son Kairo, while he was on a break from his wife Annie Kilner in 2019, but it was revealed in January this year that he had also fathered daughter, KW.
For Kairo’s fourth birthday in April, Lauryn threw a Marvel-themed party with an enormous balloon dome, towers of cake, an inflatable slide and his name lit up in LED lights – all put together by a stylist and filmed by a professional videographer.
In an exclusive interview with the Mail last month, Lauryn hit back at her critics and explained why her ex-lover Kyle ‘isn’t man enough to do the right thing.’
She also revealed her main motivation to take Kairo to his first England game – a promise Kyle had made to their son in 2022 – when she was secretly pregnant with their second child.

‘Kyle told him on a FaceTime call that he would make sure he was at the next tournament because [Kyle] is getting older, and he knew there would perhaps not be any more opportunities,’ she explained.
‘There was no way I was not going to uphold the promise that Kyle made to his son. This could have been his last chance so I wanted it to be something that Kairo could remember for ever.’
Lauryn continued: ‘We are not here to please other people. It’s about Kairo and what is best for him and what is going to make him happy.
‘I won’t be scapegoated or bullied and made to feel like a villain. My children are my number one priority and they always will be. Luckily I’m a strong woman and mother for them.’
While Kairo had ‘the best day ever’ at the match, according to Lauryn, who also took her grandfather John, there was an undercurrent of sadness.
‘It made me so emotional because it’s like Kairo doesn’t understand what his dad has done yet,’ she explained.
‘I know this is hurting Kyle, but he isn’t man enough to do the right thing by his other two children. This is a characteristic that I don’t want Kairo to have. I want him to be strong, not be a weak man when he grows up.
‘They are humans, and they’re not going anywhere, they have as much right as the others. And I will always fight their corner for them, as any mum would. It was so nice to see him idolise his dad but also so sad.’
In January, it was revealed that Kyle had fathered another baby – a little girl – with influencer and reality TV personality Lauryn while he was married to Annie.
The drama rumbled on during the England vice captain’s appearances in the European Championships – with Lauryn sharing snaps of her two children to Instagram watching their dad play, while Annie jetted to Germany with their baby son to watch him in the stands.
Kyle and his wife Annie share Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, and Reign, five, and two-month-old baby Rezon and the boys have also been seen at the matches wearing Kyle’s No. 2 shirt.
The affair began in 2019, when he was on a break from Annie. Despite his infidelity and the birth of son Kairo, Kyle and Annie stayed together in Cheshire while Lauryn raised her son as a single mother hundreds of miles away in Brighton.
Then, last December it was revealed the daughter Lauryn had given birth to in summer was also Kyle’s.
Annie threw Kyle out of their family home in Prestbury, Cheshire, and he moved into in a nearby apartment after Lauryn blocked him and came clean to Annie.

However, after Annie gave birth to a fourth son in April, they began to mend their marriage, reportedly on the condition that Kyle cut off all contact with Lauryn and their children.
There are conflicting reports about whether Annie has forgiven Kyle yet.
Sources claimed she only went to the Euros for the sake of the children, and wasn’t staying in Germany ‘playing happy families’.
Meanwhile, Lauryn is bringing up her children up as a single mum at a £2.4million house in Hove, East Sussex. Kyle bought the house for them as part of his maintenance commitments.
