Lauryn Goodman finally reveals why kids use Kyle Walker's surname after backlash

Lauryn Goodman has furiously hit back at trolls.

The Celebs Go Dating star was met with backlash after she has been seen wearing a necklace with the initials KW on it. Prior to it being revealed that Kyle Walker was also the father of her daughter, Kinara, one, as well as her son Kairo, four, she teased the KW initials as she shared a Christmas dinner menu with the initials being shown.

Lauryn, 33, previously said that the K stands for Kairo and Kinara and not Kyle Walker. Following her appearance on the E4 dating programme, one viewer fumed: "What is with her necklace!!!! KW!!! No shame! The stalker needs to be of tv and given no more attention." The brutal comment started a wave of comments, with some questioning why Lauryn chose to use Walker's surname when registering their two children.

However, the Brighton-born influencer responded: "We decided on the surname together, not going to change them now." Lauryn and Kyle's situation was aired for all to see and hear at a court hearing in Holborn, London earlier this year to discuss their financial agreements.

The judge, Edward Hess, accused her of being "difficult, unreasonable" and treating Kyle like an "open-ended chequebook". In January, apologetic England defender Kyle spoke honestly about his personal issues in an interview. At the time he said: "What I've done is horrible and I take full responsibility. I made idiot choices and idiot decisions. I can't begin to think or imagine what Annie is going through." He added: "The only person to blame is me. I have roles and responsibilities that I'm aware of and I've made stupid choices. But I need to own up to my mistakes — I owe it to everyone.

"My actions have caused a lot of pain to a lot of people. I'm sorry because, as a family, this isn't meant to happen." The Mirror previously revealed that Walker has no emotional relationship with his children with Lauryn. A source said: "Unfortunately, he has had to make the decision to not be involved in the children's lives emotionally due to Lauryn's behaviour."

Our source went on to add: "Lauryn is known for attempting to control a narrative that suits her story - she has consistently sought public attention with staged shoots, trips to the Euros and constant social media goading around her brief encounters with Kyle." Lauryn, however, disputes these claims.
