In a recent legal clash, England Vice Captain Kyle Walker has pushed back against Lauryn Goodman’s extravagant demands.
Goodman, 33, has requested a new £70,000 Mercedes GLE every three years and a £30,000 car for her nanny, who doesn’t even have a driving license. This dispute has intensified as Goodman seeks a higher child maintenance fee for their children.
The legal battle began when Goodman listed a series of costly demands, including a £33,000 air conditioning unit for her £2.4 million Sussex mansion, which Walker had already purchased for her.
She also requested a lavish £31,000 astro turf for her patio and maintenance costs for a hot tub, among other luxuries.
Walker, 32, questioned the necessity of a nanny when he and his wife, Annie Kilner, manage without one for their four children. He expressed frustration with the continual demands, suggesting that if the nanny needed a vehicle, she could use Goodman’s existing car.
Walker’s Car Collection Under Scrutiny
During the proceedings, Walker’s impressive car collection came under scrutiny.
The list included an eight-month-old Range Rover worth about £160,000, a two-year-old Audi RS6 valued at around £100,000, and a one-year-old Mercedes Viano worth £80,000.
He also has an electric BYD car from a sponsorship deal and a £2,000 monthly payment for his wife’s G Wagon.
Despite his extensive collection, Walker questioned why he should be expected to fulfill Goodman’s additional demands. He argued that his wealth shouldn’t mean he has to spend indiscriminately.
Judge’s Ruling
The court’s decision addressed several of Goodman’s demands.
The judge ruled against the £33,000 air conditioning unit and the £31,000 astro turf, deeming them unnecessary.
Goodman’s request for a £20,000 furnishing fund was reduced to £5,000 specifically for her daughter’s bedroom.
Regarding the car for Goodman and her nanny, Walker’s offer of £51,000 every three years for a new car was deemed reasonable compared to Goodman’s £70,000 request.
The judge was not persuaded by Goodman’s demands, describing them as excessive.
Child Maintenance and Nanny Costs
Goodman sought £14,750 per month for the children, while Walker offered £12,500.
The judge found Walker’s offer generous and stated it should not increase further. For the nanny, Goodman requested extensive hours at high rates, but the judge deemed Walker’s offer of £2,080 per month fair.
Goodman’s request for a £30,000 car for the nanny was also partially denied.
The judge awarded £12,000 towards a car for the nanny, conditional on proof of a full driving license.
Future Steps
Both parties have until August 13 to appeal the court’s decision. Walker’s spokeswoman criticized Goodman’s pursuit as greedy and emphasized that the judgment reveals her attempts to exploit Walker financially.
Goodman, on the other hand, stated that her actions were motivated by the best interests of her children and expressed a desire to move forward with their lives.
As the case concludes, Walker and his family hope for privacy and a resolution that respects their rights.
