Inside the £2.4m Sussex home Kyle secretly bought for Lauryn Goodman
Lauryn Goodman has completely transformed the £2.4 million East Sussex property that Kyle Walker secretly bought for her behind his wife Annie's back.
The Manchester City defender and his teammates took on Everton earlier today. However, Erling Haaland missed a penalty as their torrid run continued with a frustrating 1-1 draw against the Blues at the Etihad Stadium. The ailing champions at least avoided a 10th defeat in 13 outings in all competitions but their troubles were hardly eased as they were pegged back by the battling Toffees.
Although influencer Lauryn lost her legal case against dad to her two kids, Kyle Walker, she has been financially supported by the footballer. He bought her and their two children, Kairo, five, and Kinara, one, their home and has paid thousands to decorate it, with Lauryn hiring interiors company Blythe Designs.
Kyle bought Lauryn the house at her request, reportedly keeping it secret from his wife Annie Kilner for a month, leaving the long-suffering mother of four of his kids "livid". He allegedly let Lauryn choose the house in a bid to keep their youngest child's paternity a secret from Annie.
In photos and videos shared by the designer and Lauryn, the home has been transformed from a blank canvas to a high-end luxury mansion. She has added bespoke cabinets, media walls and panelled sections to give the home a sleek look.

Of course, the beautiful furnishings came at a cost. Even before their high-profile case, Kyle had coughed up hefty lump sums for the various fittings, including £48,000 for her new wardrobes, £52,000 for blinds and curtains, as well as another £75,000 for furnishings.
On top of the home improvements, Kyle had forked out over a million for their legal fees, £15,000 for security cameras and a burglar alarm, as well £28,000 for new gates. He had also agreed to pay £16,000 per month for child maintenance for both children, as well as £6,000 a month childcare costs and more than £40,000 for a 'maternity nanny' for Kinara.
Despite having all of those items already paid for, she wanted more from Kyle, who doesn't have a relationship with his children. In addition to what had already been paid for, she demanded a £30,000 air con unit, £31,200 for an Astroturf pitch, a further £20,000 for furnishing plus a £70,000 car allowance every three years for her. She also asked for £30,000 every three years for their nanny and a "bespoke wood and glass baby gate".

And it's no surprise the furnishing bill she wanted to send to Kyle was sky high, with photos showing the before and afters of her luxury pad shared by the interior designer. They feature an incredible open plan dining space, in which tinted mirrors are strategically placed to reflect natural light from the huge sliding doors. A feature wall of cabinets and display shelving is placed around the TV, with the spacious dining room looking out on to the garden terrace.
Elsewhere in the house, the childrens' game room has a huge TV on the wall, with huge boucle sofas and footstools. The neutral colour scheme is continued with a pop of red for colour, while the floor to ceiling windows are draped in soft curtains. A wallpaper mural hangs behind a wooden spiral staircase.
The kids rooms themselves are kept simple, with both children having huge double beds to relax on, with minimalist decor and pops of blue in Kairo's room, and purple in Kinara's.
During their court case in August, Lauryn was accused by a judge of treating Kyle like an "open cheque book". Kyle said of Lauryn: "She’s receiving a hell of a lot of money. The money I’m giving them quite happily. It’s a contribution for me not being there physically, but I think some of the things you are asking for are disproportionate."
In an interview with The Sun, he took responsibility for his actions, saying: "I've caused a lot of pain to a lot of people. What I've done is horrible and I take full responsibility. I made idiot choices and idiot decisions. The only person to blame is me."
