Lauryn Goodman dressed her son Kairo in a ‘Daddy’ England shirt on Sunday to cheer on his father Kyle Walker during the 2024 European Championship final.
The 33-year-old influencer was embroiled in a paternity scandal earlier this year when it emerged that the married footballer, 34, was the father of her eight-month-old daughter, four years after they had son Kairo.
Lauryn shared a photo on Instagram of Kairo playing soccer in the living room, while her ex-lover plays in the most important match of his soccer career.
She previously took Kairo to Germany to see his father Kyle play and received both praise and criticism for doing so.
While some social media users felt Lauryn “should have stayed away” from the competition, others praised Lauryn for going.

And according to The mirrorsources have revealed how much grief Lauryn is experiencing behind the scenes.
A source told the publication: ‘Kairo is currently unaware of the situation and fully supports his father and loves him dearly. Kairo is delighted to show his sister who their father is.
‘Kairo often wins football trophies and recently won one.
“He hopes his father wins the trophy tonight in the final. Kairo of course has the sporting qualities of his father and follows his every achievement with his daughter who is starting to play football.”
Lauryn captioned her post: ‘Good luck tonight England. @kairowalker took home his trophy, let’s hope England can too! ‘
In January, it was revealed that Kyle had had another baby, a girl, with influencer and reality TV personality Lauryn, while he was still married to Annie.
The scandal unfolded during the tournament, with Lauryn sharing photos of her two children on Instagram watching their father play, while Annie flew to Germany with their son to watch him in the stands.
Kyle and his wife Annie Kilner also share Roman (11), Riaan (7) and Reign (5) with the England vice-captain. The boys have also been seen at matches wearing Kyle’s number 2 shirt.

Kairo (pictured with Lauryn) is the son of Kyle Walker, the England vice-captain and Manchester City star, whose off-field exploits have recently garnered as much headlines as anything he has achieved in his football boots.
Last week, Lauryn shared a cryptic message from a supportive follower after watching Kyle play an earlier match at the European Championships

The scandal began when Lauryn met Kyle in 2019, when he was on a break from Annie.
Despite his infidelity and the birth of their son Kairo, Kyle and Annie remained together in Cheshire, while Lauryn raised her son hundreds of miles away in Brighton.
Last December, Lauryn dropped another surprise: the daughter she had given birth to last summer was also Kyle’s. She had been conceived when the two had briefly met to work out paperwork for their son.
Annie threw Kyle out of their family home in Prestbury, Cheshire, and he moved into a nearby flat. However, after Annie gave birth to their fourth son in April, they began to repair their marriage, reportedly on the condition that Kyle cut off all contact with Lauryn and their children.
There are conflicting reports about whether Annie has forgiven Kyle yet. Sources claimed she was only going to the European Championships for the kids, and certainly won’t be staying in Germany to ‘play happy families’. Instead, she’ll be flying there for individual matches.
Meanwhile, Lauryn is raising her children as a single mother in a £2.4million home in Hove, East Sussex, which Kyle bought for them as part of his maintenance obligations.
