Lauryn Goodman says she ‘wants to build bridges with’ Kyle Walker after his split from Annie Kilner
Lauryn Goodman has revealed she wants to “build bridges” with Kyle Goodman after his split from wife Annie Kilner.
The Celebs Go Dating star, 33, shares two children with footballer Kyle, 34 - a son conceived while he was separated from Annie, 33, and a daughter born after an affair.
Earlier this year Kyle - who shares four children with his ex-wife - was said to have been “stunned” after Annie served divorce papers.
Now Lauryn, mum to son Kario and daughter Kinara, has admitted she hopes she and Kyle can make amends after a very public feud which included a court battle.
She said: “I hope we can all just move forward and do what’s right by all the children.
“I have faith and hope that bridges will be built for the sake of Kairo and Kinara, because at the end of the day, we share two wonderful children together and life is just too short.”

Speaking to Closer, Lauryn shared hopes that her children will be able to build a relationship with their dad.
She said: “I’m hopeful their dad will come back to them and continue to build his relationship with them.
“I hope for Kyle’s sake it is sooner rather than later, because Kairo is starting to understand now.
“He asks for his daddy and he’s starting to realise that maybe it’s his choice [not to be around]. I always say that Daddy is busy playing football, but he’s not believing my excuses anymore.”

Lauryn and Kyle most recently clashed over a doorbell at her £2.4m property, which he maintains.
She was offered a Ring Doorbell after the hi-tech intercom security system at her home failed.
But Lauryn insisted the cheaper alternative would not provide the peace of mind she needs for her family.
A source told The Sun: “She got in touch with Kyle’s property manager and asked if they could have [her security system] fixed.
“They told her no and instead offered a Ring Doorbell system, which doesn’t have nearly the same level of security and won’t open the gate. She’s angry.”
