Kyle Walker today slammed the ‘insatiable greed’ of Lauryn Goodman after a judge ruled in his favour in a high-stakes child maintenance battle.

The Manchester City and England footballer claimed the extraordinary court judgment – revealed today – exposed the influencer’s ‘relentless pursuit of money’.

The 34-year-old added that Goodman used him as an ‘open ended cheque book’ and ‘repeatedly threatened him in order to get what she wanted’.

Walker has been embroiled in an astonishing legal fight for the last four years over maintenance support to the children he fathered with Goodman.

In January it emerged that Walker, who is married with four children, had fathered a daughter with Goodman, 33, four years after they had a son together.

His wife, Annie Kilner, 32, booted him out of their £3.5million mansion in Cheshire, and Walker and Goodman have since given ‘tell-all’ interviews to newspapers.

‘Insatiable greed’: Kyle Walker’s full statement

A spokeswoman for Kyle Walker said: ‘This judgment speaks for itself in laying bare Lauryn Goodman’s insatiable greed and relentless pursuit of money. The judge made it clear: she used Kyle as an open ended cheque book and repeatedly threatened him in order to get what she wanted.

‘She then orchestrated a media campaign to feed intolerable and wrongful intrusion into the private lives of Kyle, Annie and their young family.

‘Throughout each court proceeding the judge stated that Kyle adopted a fair and generous stance. These proceedings were never necessary. Kyle’s offer should have been accepted months ago and would therefore have eliminated the need for added stress to all involved.

‘In light of this judgment and the truths it makes public, my client and his family now ask that the media fully respects their rights to a private life as they navigate their next steps.’

But reporting restrictions have now been lifted in the extraordinary case, revealing the jaw-dropping details and staggering amounts of money involved.

And a spokeswoman for Walker told MailOnline: ‘This judgment speaks for itself in laying bare Lauryn Goodman’s insatiable greed and relentless pursuit of money.

‘The judge made it clear: she used Kyle as an open ended cheque book and repeatedly threatened him in order to get what she wanted.

‘She then orchestrated a media campaign to feed intolerable and wrongful intrusion into the private lives of Kyle, Annie and their young family.

‘In light of this judgment and the truths it makes public, my client and his family now ask that the media fully respects their rights to a private life as they navigate their next steps.’

Walker, who earns a reported £160,000 a week, was described as ‘grounded and reasonable’ by Judge Edward Hess.

But his former lover was lambasted as a spendthrift who was ‘spending money as if it was going out of fashion’.

Among the revelations in the case were that Goodman strong-armed Walker into buying her a £2.4million mansion, before demanding maintenance payments worth the equivalent of a £350,000 salary.

She also tried to force him to face her in court within 12 hours of the final whistle blowing at the Euro 2024 final in Berlin, meaning he wouldn’t have been able to celebrate or commiserate with team mates.

Goodman argued she needed a £31,000 astro turf because she believes her one-year-old daughter Kinara – who is still crawling – is going to become a ‘Lioness’.

And she asked Walker’s neighbour to spy on him and Kilner over her garden fence, to gather information about their marriage, saying she was ‘ready to finish them’.

In addition, she demanded a £70,000 Mercedes and another £30,000 car for her nanny – who couldn’t even drive.

And Goodman argued she needed £500 a month to maintain a hot tub solely for the children’s use, another £500 a month for a gardener a £1,440 a month for a cleaner.

After the two-day court fight came to a close, Walker told journalists outside: ‘I hope you enjoyed yourselves – I won’t be back here again.’

Both parties have until August 13 to appeal.
