Lauryn Goodman today hid from the cameras under a coat as she arrived for a courtroom showdown with footballer Kyle Walker – just days after England’s heartbreaking 2-1 defeat to Spain in the Euro 2024 final.
The influencer, 33, shares two children with the Manchester City defender, including four-year-old Kairo.
Walker, who arrived at court in a black Mercedes Benz wearing a suit and tie, also fathers a daughter with Lauryn.
That’s despite the England star sharing four other children with his wife Annie Kilner, who was cheering him on from the stands in Berlin on Sunday.
Lauryn, who attended some of the Euros matches in Germany, stayed at home to watch the final with their two children in the UK.
Walker, 34, flew home from Germany with the rest of the Three Lions squad yesterday after their crushing defeat to Spain. But the England vice-captain was forced to stay in London last night ahead of the court showdown.
It comes after Lauryn shared Kairo’s heartbreaking reaction to England’s Euros defeat – revealing their son was desperate to call his father.

On his mother’s Instagram Stories, Kairo was heard saying on her Instagram that he ‘didn’t like this’ as Lauryn told him that Spain had clinched the trophy.
The four-year-old said: ‘I don’t want them to win, I don’t want Spain to have won. That’s not kind… can’t I call my dad?’
Lauryn then responded: ‘Oh bub’ and captioned the video: ‘Little man is gutted.’
The influencer and model added: ‘Worrying about the players being sad bless him. He’s got the sweetest soul.’
Lauryn had also shared a photo of Kairo playing football in the living room wearing an England shirt with ‘Daddy’ and his kit number 2 on the back, while her ex-lover played in one of the biggest matches of his career.
Earlier in the tournament, she shared photos of both children wearing ‘Daddy 2’ England shirts as they watched their father play.
The Celebs Go Dating star became embroiled in a paternity scandal earlier this year when it emerged married footballer Walker had fathered her eight-month-old daughter, four-years after they welcomed son Kairo.
She previously took Kairo to see his dad Kyle play in Germany and received both praise and criticism for her decision.

Lauryn later insisted: ‘There was no way I wasn’t going to take Kairo to the Euros.
‘This could have been his last chance so I wanted it to be something that Kairo could remember forever.
‘We are not here to please other people. It’s about Kairo and what is best for him and what is going to make him happy.
‘I won’t be scapegoated or bullied and made to feel like a villain.’
She also revealed she hadn’t even thought about a chance meeting with Annie in Germany.
She added: ‘I wasn’t fearful at all that I was going to bump into her.
‘It doesn’t cross my mind, I don’t give it a thought at all.
‘I couldn’t care less. I just get on with things.
‘I was there for Kairo, no one else, and if anyone has an issue with it, that’s their problem, not mine.’
Annie discovered that her husband had fathered a second child after Lauryn contacted her over Christmas.
The England ace was kicked out of the family home and has tried to repair the damage since.
In a post on Instagram, he also apologised to his wife, writing: ‘Annie is an amazing woman and I can only apologise for the upset I’ve caused her.
‘She’s been part of my life for so long and that will never change for the sake of our children.
‘I would ask for privacy for all of our family, and especially our young children, whilst we work through these difficult times.’
