Kyle Walker’s ex-mistress Lauryn Goodman ‘says Man City philanderer’s claim her social media posts are harassment is nonsense’ and ‘is gearing up for a legal battle with everything her lawyers can muster’

Lauryn Goodman has branded her ex Kyle Walker’s claim that her social media posts are harassment as ‘nonsense’ and is allegedly gearing up for a legal battle against the England star, a close friend claimed.

Walker, 34, is battling to save his marriage with wife Annie Kilner, 32, after fathering not one but two children with his ex mistress Goodman.

Goodman, who was branded ‘difficult, unreasonable and demanding’ by a judge during her child maintenance battle with Walker last month, often takes swipes at her ex and his family on social media.

Reports claimed Walker is preparing to launch a case against Goodman to prevent her from sharing their personal life on social media.

Friends of the £150,000 a week pro claimed he has already been in touch with lawyers as influencer Goodman, 33, continues to air her grievances online.

A source said Walker is ‘carefully looking at options’ and has heard advice from two law firms in order to protect his children.

But a friend of Goodman said: ‘Lauryn couldn’t believe it when she became aware of this.

‘She’s astonished at the idea that using social media in some way could be construed as harassment.

But our source added that Goodman has no intention of backing down.

‘This has never, ever been about money for Lauryn,’ the source added. ‘She was happy living with her mum and the children. All she wants is what she has been told by her legal team that she and the children are fully entitled to.’

Two law firms have allegedly advised Walker that he has grounds to take action, with the footballer said to be ‘carefully looking at options’.

In the pair’s child maintenance battle last month, which Goodman lost, the judge accused the reality TV star of using Walker as an ‘open-ended chequebook’.

Judge Edward Hess also slammed Goodman for deliberately causing distress to Kyle’s wife.

However, since the judgement, matters have only got worse for the footballer, according to the source.

‘It has gotten worse with stories appearing every day and Lauryn posting regularly on her social media,’ the source told The Mirror.

‘It’s become impossible for Annie and the kids to ignore.’

They added: ‘[Walker] is being advised what his best options are, although he really doesn’t want to have to take steps like this.’

Walker shares two children with Goodman, four-year-old son Kairo and one-year-old daughter Kinara.

Annie previously threw Walker out of their £3.5million family home in Cheshire after discovering he had fathered a second child with Goodman.

But in April Walker is said to have been by Annie’s side as she gave birth to their fourth son, who the couple named Rezon.

Annie announced in January that she was taking ‘some time away’ from her marriage but they are now said to be working through their issues.

A spokewoman for Kyle Walker declined to comment. MailOnline has contacted Goodman’s representatives for comment.
