I don't believe LG is anything other than a paid escort, who has been passed around the changing rooms(which was why she was flying back from wherever Man City were, it wasn't because she was KW's lover) . KW was the only idiot to get her pregnant. If it wasn't KW it would have been another footballer. Let's not make this torrid mess into some love affair, that's her warped view of what it was.

Funny how the judge has literally blown her 'privacy' claims apart, publishing her children's names, including the girl who she had kept so secret. She can no longer play the privacy card whilst parading those children in front of the paps, she must be kickng herself that she took the Daily Mail up on their offer of going to the Euros because that's backfired. She wad also pulled up on how she told Annie. She really is a nasty piece of work. Good luck finding any man now!

AK is the innocent party here, let's not give her a hard time for staying with the only man she's probably been with. Life on your own can be pretty scary, especially with 4 young children but factor in the fact you've been with their father since you were a child yourself it's quite hard to make that choice.

Then she’s on celebs go dating I’m sorry but what sane man would go near this train wreck. It’s all in the media for the world to see.

She could have quite easily taken his cash and raised the children without all the drama along side it. But she sees that as being silenced and secrets. Rather than realising what’s best for the children isn’t to find all these news articles in the future where their mum blackmails their dad who couldn’t really give a toss about them. Could have still had the whole omg kyle walker cheating scum fathers babies and then lived quite the financed cushty life. Lots of wags and wife’s even of famous people Manage to stay out the spot light.

but the spot light is what she wants to become a celeb. Despite being in her 30’s as a model/influencer who only has something like 10k and no continuing earnings just ad hoc with a conviction for benefit fraud. Not sure what she’s supposed to influence apart from being a single mum who dines out on her cash cow children and as for modelling she doesn’t even have an iron wanted kyle to buy that too 🤣

I wonder why she was keeping the daughter's name secret? Was she hoping to get a magazine deal to announce it? Take a Break perhaps?

Workinghours · 31/07/2024 07:12

Didn't AK get pregnant again after knowing what KW had done? Why are some people demonising LG for doing that but not AK? 3 of those DC have been brought into the world as part of the pick me dance. The nanny I can understand, if he doesn't see the DC why shouldn't he be expected to provide a nanny for 50% of the week? Much of the rest is obviously ridiculous. The majority of footballers and their wives are a bloody shit show.

"Women are not responsible for the behaviour of men."

No, but we are responsible for our own choices - who we decide to have babies with. Now fair enough, you don't always know how a man will turn out until it's too late, but LG knew full well that JW was married and cheating on his wife. So she knew who he was! She didn't care that this fine specimen was who she was saddling her kids with as a father.

Everyone involved has made poor decisions, but once again: women are not responsible for the behaviour of men. He has all the resources in the world to facilitate a relationship with his children and he chooses not to.

Annie did not know Goodman and Kyle had had another child until she was 6th months pregnant. Goodman had been blackmailing Kyle with demands for money to keep the paternity secret until then but she'd been drip feeding hints in her social media all along. Goodman then sent Annie a message on the 27th Dec (when she knew Kyle wouldn't be there) telling her that he was the father. It was then that Annie told him to leave and he moved into a flat nearby.

Workinghours · 31/07/2024 08:03

So a quick google shows she knew about the first DC, and married him shortly afterwards. She also knew about him messaging a playboy model in 2016, an affair with another woman in 2019, she knew that he hosted a sex party for escorts in 2020 and that he kissed another woman in a bar in 2023 and now they're back together aren't they? She brought her youngest and if not more of her DC into the relationship with her eyes wide open.

"Everyone involved has made poor decisions, but once again: women are not responsible for the behaviour of men. He has all the resources in the world to facilitate a relationship with his children and he chooses not to."

But she always knew he wasn't going to be a proper dad to her kids. He already had a wife and children, so she deliberately brought a baby into that mess. No one disputes the awfulness of KW but she knew that all she was ever going to get was money. When push came to shove, he was always going to prioritise his wife and existing dc over the one he had by accident with a woman he doesn't give two hoots about. And then she did it again!
I just don't understand why any woman would deliberately saddle her babies with a father who doesn't care about them.
Women aren't responsible for men's behaviour but we are responsible for our own.
Of course KW could see those kids if he wanted to, but it was hardly a secret what type of man he was and so to get pg twice anyway, I do think that's on her, as the one actively choosing to bring those children into the world and the one ultimately responsible for raising them.

Yes, she did and he has treated her and their children dreadfully. But no one knows what they would do in Annie's position until they are in it. It's very easy to say LTB but I wouldn't be surprised if she's suffering from some sort of trauma because of it. It's also been said that because she knows the kind of women Kyle likes, staying with him gives her some control over who her children come into contact with. She's been publicly humiliated and also taunted by Goodman but has kept a dignified silence. I feel very sorry for her.

Workinghours · 31/07/2024 08:56

My issue is with the double standard of judging one woman as a bad parent for bringing more DC into this situation when the other woman has done the same thing. It is not beyond me that both will have more DC to Kyle Walker, and he may even have DC with other women (and may already have). The mothers in this situation need to take a breath, see KW for the scum he is and prioritise their children rather than feeding into his circus and putting the children's needs after that. I do not doubt that AK hasn't been manipulated but she is in a much stronger position than most women in the country.

thefishingboatbobbingsea · 31/07/2024 09:29

I have just come to this. I honestly wouldn't know any of them in a line up and have no prior knowledge of either parties prior behaviour /court proceedings /instagram. So just looking at the basic facts I really can't see why Lauren G is so vilified. Can I just check I understand this sad situation correctly ?

Kyle walker a highly paid footballer lives with his Longterm girlfriend Annie and has 3 children with him. She doesn't work outside the home and never has .

KW has had multiple sexual encounters with other women. (Written about on the internet so assume his girlfriend is aware ) one of these encounters resulted in a child being born to the affair partner Lauren.

Annie finds out about this and instead of leaving her serial cheat partner - married KW. .

KW refuses to see or have anything to do with his child by LG. LG goes to court and gets paternity acknowledgement and maintenance commensurate with the father's income.

A couple of years pass and KW has a SECOND affair with LG resulting in a second child. Who he again does not willingly acknowledge. KW s wife discovers existence of this second child when she is 6 months pregnant with her FOURTH child made with a man who has never shown any signs of fidelity .

LG goes to court to get more maintenance for the second child.

If I have this right , I have absolutely no understanding as to why LG is the bad guy. She wasn't cheating on anyone. She wasn't putting her child's life into free fall. The ENTIRE blame here rests solely on the man. The wife is ridiculous. She's not some naive little woman from the 1950s trapped at home with no means of escape . She made a decision to have another child with this man when knowing EXACTLY what he is.

LG to my mind is just doing what she is entitled to do.. make as much as possible to ensure her children's financial future.

The 'contact' stories do not hold water either . He could put in a C100 application for a CAO and wouldn't even need a lawyer ! If he is the father then no judge is going to deny him regular meaningful contact. Nor would a judge allow the mother to be present in such a high conflict situation. Handover would be with the nanny until kids were familiar with the relationship with the father .

The fact that he hasn't bothered just compounds how awful he and he alone is in all of this.

I am so surprised how many women on a woman's forum are still blaming the OW for a man's appalling behaviour.

ABirdsEyeView · 31/07/2024 09:40

I do think wives/long term partners have a right to make different choices. Even though the husband is a piece of shit, presumably there is some evidence he's a loving dad to the kids he has with his wife and some evidence of commitment to the wife, seeing as he's made their relationship legal. It's not on the same level as a temporary shag!
If I was in AK's shoes, I'd marry for the legal protection it gave me and my dc. Might as well be practical if you are already in the situation of having had children with him already. I might stay if I thought it would protect my dc from exposure to women like LG - can you imagine what sort of step mother she'd make?
As for having another baby, if I'd decided to stay for the above reasons, maybe I'd want my existing children to have siblings. I probably wouldn't have had more dc in that situation but sometimes a woman finds out the extent of an extra marital relationship when she is already pregnant.

ABirdsEyeView · 31/07/2024 09:44

@thefishingboatbobbingsea I think the main reason people are taking issue with LG is that she's monetising and manipulating her own dc in order to get more money from KW. Some of the things she's tried to claim for are outright piss taking (astroturf at a cost of 31k, so her baby can be a lioness one day Hmm)! And the taunting of KW's wife.

TizerorFizz · 31/07/2024 09:49

@thefishingboatbobbingsea You need to read the court case about the money LG wanted. She’s already had millions £ from KW and the judge was very annoyed about her behaviour and lies. Yes, KW is an idiot but the judge disliked the threats and behaviour of LG. So both aren’t great but the judge mostly found KW should not be effectively blackmailed.

It’s also good advice for his wife to have married him. She has far more financial security as a result. It’s important for women to understand this. She does need to protect her children, and has. The judge also lifted reporting restrictions as LG had taken her child to a football competition with “Daddy” written on a t shirt the child was wearing. So everyone already knew what was going on.

It would be best if, as KW gets older, he begins to understand about responsibility and parenthood. No more stunts with other women would help enormously.

They go to nursery as well as the nanny. And maybe because Annie is his wife. She allowed to have children with her husband if she wants too 🤷🏻‍♀️

Oh I think it’s a given that everyone thinks KW is odious. AK - well tbf I think she played it smart marrying him after finding out he’d had the first affair. She has three DC already and probably wanted to protect them financially in case they ultimately split.

I think the issue with LG is not her sleeping with a married man but how she’s conducted herself since. Telling AK about her DDs parentage at Xmas, the constant digs on SM, posing the children with ‘Daddy’ football
shirts, the KW necklace, her ludicrous demands in her maintenance claims - she comes across as a horrendous attention seeker and rather stalkerish. Those kids will see all
this when they’re older and wonder why they’ve been used as accessories in her online presence.

OhmygodDont · 31/07/2024 09:58

Nobody despises lauryn for having the children it’s her behaviour that people have issue with.

The list of demands is stupid. Yes her children are entitled to maintenance and to have a good life style since their father is rich. But she is not entitled to that it’s a technicality. She wants a rich and famous life while having no actual proper regular income. She’s used those children as her payroll. Without them we wouldn’t know who she is she’s not famous in her own right, she’s not by any way wealthy in her own right. Think she of babies need designer nappy bags ffs.

Kyle though a twat wanker. Has paid above whatever the court has asked look at her housing budget he paid more. She had tried to blackmail him to keep the second one a secret. Blamed kyle and Annie for all the press when court says actually it’s her.

Oh and she needs that fancy stair gate for her glass stairs… the stairs in the house she picked which was over the court ordered amount too.

Tried to get kyle and Annie’s neighbour to record their conversations in their private back garden!

so despite kyle being a twat with his dick out. His paid he dues. He seems a good parent to his rrrr’s in the sence his there for them and active with them. Annie it’s up to her what she will put up with from him. His not loyal but that’s between them.

While Lauren courts the drama and the courts.

I'd imagine anyone can have DC with Kyle Walker if they want to. The point of this awful thread is to judge the adults in the situation for the decisions they have made. Yes she chose to have a child with her husband, knowing the example it sets for her children. How to treat women, the treatment women should expect. She had a baby with him knowing he neglects one of his children. Wife or not, she can be judged. Yes she hides her DCs faces, yes she doesn't comment on the situation but she chooses to insert her children into the drama by staying with this awful man and parading them at football games during the drama. None of the adults in this situation are doing what is in the best interests of the DC they chose to create.

I think your missing some significant bits here.

KW is absolutely despicable and there is no doubt he is the number one person to blame here.

But LG isn’t just the OW who accidentally fell pregnant and is trying to get maintenance for DC. She is disliked because of her behaviour - both towards his wife who has done nothing to LG and by not behaving in her DCs best interests.

Examples have already been mentioned on this thread:

  • Telling AK (his DW) via text when she was heavily pregnant and then publicising it.
  • Offering to pay KW and AK’s next door neighbours to spy on them, telling the neighbour via texts shown in court to wait until they argue and record it from their garden and that she was “ready to finish them”.
  • Taking her DC to the Euros and parading them around with tops with “daddy” on while all this is going on to get them in the media spotlight and cause controversy.
  • Hinting that KW was the father of DC2 for months but not outright saying it so she could continue to blackmail for him by threatening to reveal his identity (I’m all for taking him for every penny she can get through the courts but not through blackmail).
  • A lot of people don’t like the maintenance demands that are obviously not in the interests of her DC like a Louis Vuitton nappy bag.

i am surprised women think it’s ok for someone like LG to blackmail, bully, spy and use their children for what even the judge called “journalistic fodder”. LG knew EXACTLY what she was doing and thought nothing of tearing up the lives of AK and her children further, and at the expense of her own children too. This isn’t the average OW. This is an extremely manipulative woman. KW is a piece of work, but both can be true.

the court documents only show LGs shocking behaviour, and anyone defending that probably has morals as loose as hers

How was she to know he wasn't going to be a 'proper dad'? He is a dad to his other kids. He has a successful career. He has zero excuses. Blaming her for his failure to parent is just pure misogyny.

OMG I think KW is dreadful but LG is also awful. The court transcripts are shocking, the judge has allowed the case to go public and stated that LG has already done this to her children ie constantly putting them in the papers ie on going social media posts with the kids in Daddy football tops or the fact she has admitted accepting money to take her son to the euros.

I'm a single parent and all up for the children receiving what is fair, I also have a job to support myself and I don't publish what my exes have or haven't done all over social media as its not putting my children first.

Also my hot tub does not cost £500 a month to run......

Internationalpony · 31/07/2024 11:20

I don’t have a problem with someone seeking fame, sleeping with footballers and then using it to get attention. No judgement there. What riles me is that she does it at the expense of her DC. How humiliating when they grow up and see photos of them being paraded around the Euros like that when their “daddy” didn’t want them there. She’s created an Instagram account in her DC’s name and written in the bio “daddy: Kyle Walker” (tagging KW’s account) and has over 15k followers. How will her DC feel about that when he’s older?

It doesn’t in anyway justify KW’s actions. But instead of protecting her DC she uses them for their own gain with seemingly no thought for the impact on them.

ABirdsEyeView · 31/07/2024 12:18

'How was she to know he wasn't going to be a 'proper dad'? He is a dad to his other kids. He has a successful career. He has zero excuses. Blaming her for his failure to parent is just pure misogyny'.

Because he's married to someone else and the kids are the result of an affair? That's never going to result in a good outcome, especially when he's chosen to remain with his wife - can't see her welcoming them with open arms! Men like KW invariably do what's easier and best for themselves. So I think this outcome was always on the cards and she didn't care - her kids are her pay day. I'm not going to defend a woman just because she's a woman. KW is actually better than her because at least he's paying for his kids upkeep, which is more than LG is doing. She isn't even looking after them properly, parading them around, exposing them to all this publicity.
