Lauryn Goodman started a podcast today with friend Lisa Andrews, who had a love child with married boxer Nigel Benn 27 years ago.
In the podcast, titled Yours Sincerely and sponsored by a Turkish restaurant in north London, Goodman warns her former lover Kyle Walker that she will tell their children ‘what he did to them.’
She says, ‘I’ll say something like, “Your dad didn’t want to give us astroturf, your dad didn’t want us to have air conditioning.” It’s just a direct answer to the questions. I asked, it was a no.’
She complained that the court had only allowed her to provide their children with a “comparable” standard of living to his four sons with wife Annie Kilner.
“They can’t be treated equally, only the father can do that for them,” she said. “The court will just treat you equally.”
Lauryn Goodman has launched a podcast today with friend Lisa Andrews – who had a love child with married boxer Nigel Benn 27 years ago
Andrews stars alongside Goodman in the first episode of their new venture Yours Sincerly, which is available to watch on YouTube. In the podcast, titled Yours Sincerely and sponsored by a Turkish restaurant, Goodman warns his former lover Kyle Walker that she will tell their children “what he did to them.”
Of the £2.4million Sussex home she had chosen, which the footballer bought for her to live in with their children, she complained: ‘It’s like a greenhouse, there’s so much glass in it.
“Kairo and Kekes are sweating. They have fans, but I have the blinds closed all day. You can’t cool the house down. It’s crazy.”
Andrews, who gave birth to son Harley four days before Benn’s wife Carolyne gave birth to twins after IVF treatment, joked: “Isn’t that Betty Swollocks?” adding: “Just call it Featy Swanny.”
Lauryn replied, “Don’t talk about my butt, it’ll just make people excited.”
Goodman was paid a salary equivalent to £150,000 a year after a court hearing in which a judge accused her of treating the Man City defender like an “outstanding chequebook”.
She was asking for £31,000 for AstroTurf and £33,000 for air conditioning in the house, which Walker complained he didn’t have in his Cheshire home. He does have AstroTurf in his house.
The podcast marks a continuation of the hostilities between Goodman and Walker.
Walker now lives back in the marital home with his wife Annie and their four children and they are working on their relationship. By agreement with Annie, he only has contact with Lauryn through lawyers.

A source said of the latest action: ‘Annie and Kyle will not be commenting. They are taking legal advice on what their next steps might be to protect their children.’
They have sons Roman, Riaan, Reign and Rezon and are reportedly considering filing a harassment complaint against Goodman.
She had a son Kairo after an affair with the footballer, who was married at the time but did not go further than a divorce. When they later got back in touch, they had a daughter Kinara, better known as Keke.
Walker has always said there was never a relationship between them and Goodman, 34, told Celebs Go Dating she was shocked to find out she was pregnant. However, she now says both children were ‘wanted’.
In the podcast, she talks about her decision to tell his wife Annie in a text message last December that Kyle was Kinara’s father.
Lauryn recently featured on the latest series of Celebs Go Dating, where she discussed her relationship with Walker
She said: ‘When I made the decision in December I knew it would be a domino effect. There was a whole PR campaign, a smear campaign against me and I was prepared to cut ties, but I couldn’t take it anymore, I was sick.
“You could see my ribs. I had panic attacks, it was so bad. I remember thinking if I didn’t have these kids I wouldn’t be here… get me out of here.”
She said she wasn’t as much of a gold digger as people said.
‘I like the simple things with my kids, the memories are a big thing for me. It’s not the whole extravagant lifestyle that everyone makes of it.’
She did admit that she enjoyed “nice holidays”, adding: “I always had nice holidays growing up… and Kairo is such a good boy on the plane.”
“I took him on a trip to the Maldives that had nothing to do with their father, but no one ever thanked me for that.”
She added: ‘I want to do more for my children financially and say to them, ‘I did this through hard work.’
She denied that Walker had met Kairo only a few times, saying: My child has not bonded with anyone after four meetings.
‘He literally takes a Euro sticker from his dad to bed with him every night. He puts it in a drawer at night, takes it out and cuddles it.’
“How sad is that? If I could remove it and take it out of the drawer and get away with it, I would.”
Friend Lisa Andrews said she reached out to Goodman through social media after hearing her story.
She said, ‘Fasten your seat belt. It’s been a very hard journey and even today it’s still hard, 27 years later.’
