She welcomed their son Kairo into the world in April 2020 after they slept together while Kyle was on a break with his wife Annie.
Last year, it was revealed Lauryn was pregnant again and then gave birth to a daughter in August 2023.
After much speculation, it was revealed that Kyle was also the father.
Kyle and Annie got together when they were teenagers and tied the knot in 2022. The pair share four kids, Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, five-year old Reign and their baby son who she gave birth to in April.

Lauryn and Annie have exchanged countless brutal swipes on social media, and Lauryn has also hit out at Kyle on Instagram.
She signed up to Celebs Go Dating as a latecomer last month and has been getting advice from experts Anna Williamson, who has told The Sun Lauryn was “in floods of tears within minutes” of walking into the agency.
Anna said viewers will see what supports the mum needs throughout the series, and revealed the Channel 4 coaches made it clear that the show would not be used to disparage Kyle and his family.
Anna told us: “We’ve had every conversation under the sun about her situation, ‘sticky’ is a great description.
“It’s been quite controversial signing Lauryn up to the show. I think it’s fair to say that there’s been very mixed opinions from fans of the show.
“Everybody seems to have an opinion but the beauty of what I do for a job is that my opinion is not needed.
“She has joined the agency for her own reasons because she wants help and you will discover by watching the series what help she does need and you know we don’t pack any punches.
“We made it very clear to Lauryn if she wanted to just come on the show to trash her ex or the situation then we weren’t going to be a vehicle for that.
“But we were here to help her and obviously talking about her ex and her past situation and the situation she is currently in is a huge part of her storyline on the show.
“I think people will be very interested to hear it. I hope we have done it justice to all parties involved. To be sensitive and fair.”
Anna said that Lauryn is ultimately a mother trying to do her best for her kids.
She went on: “I wasn’t sure what to expect when Lauryn came in, and I’d say she’s definitely been a challenging celebrity to work with but not in a bad way.

“And complicated situations carry a lot of opinion, judgement and emotion.
“And at the end of the day she is just a mum trying to do her best for two young kids.
“And I hope we have been able to help her find some sort of future for herself, for the right reasons.”
