Kyle Walker

So LG has secured generous maintenance payments. I know this comes up time and time again in real life, but what happens if KW's circumstances change? If he breaks a leg tomorrow, obviously there is an expectation he will continue to support the children from his marriage, but if the payments to LG suddenly become unaffordable, what happens then?

I know we often read threads about rich Dad becoming poor Dad, and the high maintenance payments are set in stone?

@Beezknees

I get the logic behind her securing the money, but imagine if it was your friend - would you advise her to do that? If a poster on MN put all of that, would you encourage her to marry him?

If she had multiple children by him already then yes, to be honest.

They now have a secure future and she doesn't have to worry about anything financial for them on top of already almost certainly being their primary carer forever.

They are guaranteed to get excellent schooling, able to go to university, will be set up to own property etc.

Yes, he probably would have paid for all that anyway but I'm sure when they got together she didn't think he would be shagging prostitutes in their home during a pandemic and getting his dick out in bars, so it's fair enough she's not operating on blind faith in him.

Had a brief look through those court papers - oh my goodness her expectations are crazy!

The thing I find odd is how they had another child together? There's no love lost between them and he doesn't see his first child with her. Surely he wouldn't go back there again?!

Given the marriage was fairly recent I wonder if there's a prenup

I woke up at 4:30am this morning and couldn't get back to sleep, so I read the court papers. Wow is all I could think when reading it! Some of her demands were laughable!!! Even the judges opinion on her speaks volume!

@QueenOfTheKing that's what I thought too!

He is absolutely fugly
And what a vile POS. Some woman he shagged baiting and taunting 'his childhood sweetheart' and mother of his children. He doesn't want anything to do with the subsequent child but doesn't mind shagging her again and getting her pregnant? As if he hasnt himiliated his wife enough? I hope his wife does take him for half, then at least she can spend it on herself, and he will have to be stuck with his side piece demanding more and more of his dwindling income. Good move marrying him. Hope she takes him to the cleaners.

I had seen recent news stories about these people, quite confused as I hadn't heard of any of them. I didn't know he was a footballer. I assumed they were off love island or something.

I can remember at least one thread where posters recommended the OP proceed with a planned wedding even though she doubts/suspicions, because the OP had a few kids to him.

In Annie’s shoes (cheater with form, few kids, but I still love him innit so give him one last chance) I would have done the same thing. I can’t comment on his spending habits now and how canny he’s been with the money he’s made to date, but he’s coming to the end of his playing career. His earning potential will nosedive before any of their children reach 18. I would want to be in a position where if there was a split a (downward) variation in child support 6, 7, 8 years down the line wouldn’t be the end of the world or signal massive changes for the kids, because we’d been adequately provided for at the end of the marriage.

Don’t forget the £21k benefit fraud

I hope you have a cuppa handy... or preferably something stronger!

@GeckoEcho funnily enough no I don't remember that since watching England is like watching paint dry. However, it's disgusting when his type are meant to be what young men look up to as role models. Morals of an alley cat (and I'm a cat lover so that's harsh to cats) yet gets to captain his club and country

Do you have a link to the court papers?

I hope she has the strength to leave him. Such a beautiful woman shouldn't have to put up with his disgusting behaviour.

If anyone has wondered what Kyle Walker would be if he wasn't a footballer the answer is a virgin. He is a fugly man. And Lauren Goodwin wouldn't have been interested in him if he hadn't been a footballer. They are both, in my opinion, horrible horrible people. I've known about Goodwin's thinly veiled taunts to Walker's wife on social media for a while, she seems deranged. The court papers make good reading, the judge got the measure of Goodwin and saw exactly what she was trying to do. Walker is nearing the end of his career. I really hope his wife walks away and takes as much as she can from him. His poor children.

Forgot to highlight the first paragraph, sorry.

I am not a Man City fan (though who can help admiring their football?) but I do follow the England team. Remember when he improbably spared our blushes vs Ukraine last year? I thought this thread might be about football rather than this prurient rubbish.

Strikes me like a couple of pigeons fighting over a three day old chip supper

Yes I would advise any woman to do it if she was a SAHM to 3 kids and unmarried.

Yes, if she already had children with him I would have. Especially if she was determined to give him one last chance.

it was the best way to protect herself and her children financially from his fuckwittery

I'd definitely raise my eyebrows at a woman who married a man who brought prostitutes into their home, got his knob out in public all over another woman and fathered a child with someone else, no matter what his profession. I get the logic behind her securing the money, but imagine if it was your friend - would you advise her to do that? If a poster on MN put all of that, would you encourage her to marry him?

Definitely good for Annie!

Also, he's been earning "big bucks" for some time. He signed for City in 2017, they married in 2021. He wasn't exactly on a pittance at Spurs either!

His behaviour has been well known for years, there's a video from when he was on loan at Villa (2011, off the top of my head). He has two phones on the go and the other players are pointing it out, he's telling them to shut up.

Annie has done what she's needed to do to protect herself and her children. If it was any other profession, no one would be criticising for her marrying him. They'd been together a long time and I'm sure she's supported him just as much as any other wife does. Just because he's on mega money, doesn't mean her support is somehow worth less.

Maybe I'm hard faced, but if I was Annie I'd have LAUGHED.

She's married to him, she has the upper hand on both of them now and can leave him whenever she wants, becoming financially secure forever. She might not have the "man", but she can sure take his money and she now knows he's not worth having anyway.

What has Lauren got? Fuck all.

I mean, she doesn't even have any shame.

Not sure if it’s fair to call Annie a gold digger. Surely when they first met they were two teenagers and he was just starting out, he probably didn’t earn the big bucks for years. At that stage, your career can go either way - even really good players don’t always get picked up by the big money clubs.

100% agree. It's judgey, bitchy and unempathetic.

No defence from me for whatever slurs anyone wants to throw at the kind of woman who aims to get pregnant by married men, though.

THAT I will forever judge!

@VisionsOfSplendour

Out of interest are you a man?

No. Why do you ask?
