Kyle Walker’s potential move to Inter Milan disrupts Lauryn Goodman’s latest plans, as her ongoing legal and personal battles with the footballer continue.

Kyle Walker is reportedly preparing for a fresh start in Italy with Inter Milan, but his impending move has thrown another wrench into Lauryn Goodman’s plans. The reality star, who shares two children with the footballer, has faced repeated setbacks in her efforts to remain close to Walker and maintain a connection to his life.

Goodman recently contacted Walker’s lawyers to request permission to rent out the £2.4 million mansion she currently resides in—a property owned by Walker—as part of her intention to relocate to Dubai. The request comes after reports suggested Walker was considering a move to Saudi Arabia. Goodman had hoped to follow him by moving closer to the Middle East, but with his likely destination now being Italy, her plans appear to have been foiled.

A source close to Walker and his wife Annie Kilner told *MailOnline*: "You have to wonder whether Lauryn was planning a move to Dubai because she thought that Kyle and Annie were off to the Middle East too. She has form for winding them up, particularly Annie, but it hasn’t worked as they have no intention of going there."

This isn’t the first time Goodman has reportedly threatened to move abroad. According to sources, she has previously made similar claims when she felt she was "on the losing side" of her legal battles with Walker. The latest development adds to a history of contentious moments between Goodman and the England vice-captain.

A history of high-profile disputes

Goodman and Walker’s relationship has been marred by numerous public disputes. In December 2023, Goodman rang Annie Kilner to inform her that Walker was the father of her second child, Kinara. The revelation, made just days after Christmas, reportedly caused further strain between the couple.

During their child maintenance battle, Goodman made a series of high-profile demands, including a £70,000 Mercedes every three years and a £30,000 car for her nanny—who, notably, cannot drive. Additionally, she requested £33,000 for air conditioning to deal with "unbearable" heat at the mansion Walker bought for her. Despite the demands, a judge ultimately ordered Walker to pay £12,500 per month in child maintenance, as well as covering additional expenses such as school and childcare costs.

Goodman’s requests were criticized by Walker’s legal team, with her former partner describing the demands as "insatiable greed." Despite this, Walker agreed to buy her the £2.4 million mansion, clear £40,000 of her debts, and cover legal costs exceeding £600,000.

Public confrontations and leaked messages

Goodman has taken several public swipes at Walker on social media. In one instance, she leaked alleged messages from Walker, appearing to show his reluctance to make their daughter’s paternity public. She captioned the posts: "The DNA comments I’m seeing… He always knew his babies with me were his."

Goodman also faced backlash for taking her son Kairo to see Walker play during the Euros in Germany, dressing him in an England shirt with "Daddy" printed on the back. In response to criticism, she shared a supportive message from a follower, questioning why her attendance at the game was being scrutinized.

Meanwhile, a source close to Walker said: "Kyle was advised to take a DNA test by his legal team to confirm the paternity of the child. He has always maintained responsibility for the children financially." The source added that Walker is saddened by the constant public exposure of the situation, especially as he has worked to keep his four children with Kilner out of the media spotlight.

Kyle Walker’s move to Italy

Walker, who has spent over seven years at Manchester City, is expected to move to Italy, with both Milan clubs reportedly interested in his services. According to *Mail Sport*, the transfer could initially be a loan deal with the potential for a two-year permanent agreement. Walker recently held a farewell party with friends, signaling the end of his time at Manchester City.

While Walker looks forward to a new chapter in Italy, Goodman’s plans to remain close to the footballer have once again been disrupted, leaving her uncertain about her next move.
