Chloe Goodman, former glamour model and Celebrity Big Brother contestant, has publicly expressed her shock and discomfort regarding the news of her sister Lauryn Goodman’s second pregnancy with footballer Kyle Walker. This revelation has not only surprised Chloe but has also led to strained family relations and public scrutiny.
The controversy surrounding Lauryn and Walker first gained attention last month when Lauryn, 31, and Kyle, 33, were in a dispute over child support for their one-year-old daughter, Kinara. The situation escalated when Lauryn publicly confirmed Walker as the father of her child and subsequently informed Walker’s wife, Annie Walker, via a text message in December. The message stated, “Hey it’s Lauryn I just wanted to quickly tell you that Kyle is the father of our daughter.”
Chloe Goodman, who has been in the spotlight for her own television appearances and public persona, revealed to The Sun that she was taken aback by the news of Lauryn’s second pregnancy with Walker. Chloe admitted that their relationship had become strained due to the unexpected development. “I was shocked when I found out Lauryn was pregnant a second time because I didn’t know they had rekindled things,” Chloe said. “I knew Kyle had been seeing Kairo privately and I was happy because all children should have a father in their lives. I hadn’t asked him if he was back seeing my sister, because I’d assumed nothing was happening.”
Chloe also expressed her frustration with Lauryn for not disclosing the renewed relationship. “Lauryn hadn’t told me either. I told her, ‘I have no sympathy for you and Kyle now.’ That was the start of our relationship becoming strained,” Chloe revealed. The tension between the sisters has led to Chloe being cautious about their interactions. “I’m not ready to sit down and discuss things with her yet. I feel I would get emotional and angry and I could say things I might regret,” Chloe added.
The legal battle between Lauryn Goodman and Kyle Walker further intensified the situation. At the Central Family Court in London, Walker was commended for acting with “dignity and generosity” in contrast to many of Lauryn’s claims. The court ruled that Walker should pay £12,500 per month in child maintenance, a figure he had offered before the hearing, and an additional £5,000 for furniture. This amount was significantly lower than Lauryn’s initial demand of £20,000. Walker was also ordered to pay £30,000 for a car to be used by a nanny and other associated fees.
Chloe Goodman commented on the legal proceedings, stating that Lauryn’s demands seemed to be driven by anger and frustration. “To me, (Lauryn’s) demands showed she was angry and hurt and was going for the jugular,” Chloe said. “She’s been seen as the bad person and that’s justified with some of her actions, so she probably thinks she has nothing to lose. And people are looking at this from the view of an ordinary household income and saying, ‘That’s a disgraceful amount of money.’”
The situation has cast a spotlight on the complexities of personal relationships and financial disputes in the public eye. Chloe’s comments reflect a broader sentiment about the challenges of managing family dynamics and media scrutiny amidst legal battles.
As the public and media continue to follow the story, the focus remains on the personal and legal ramifications of the situation. Chloe Goodman’s candid remarks provide insight into the emotional and relational impact of Lauryn’s actions and the ongoing challenges faced by those involved.
