When it comes to the world of footballers and their personal lives, few stories are as dramatic as that of Kyle Walker.
Known for his chequered past and complicated relationships, Walker, who has four children with his wife Annie and two with his on-again, off-again mistress Lauryn, certainly isn’t winning any “Father of the Year” awards.
But this week, he scored a surprising victory in court that might make a lot of men breathe a sigh of relief.
In a recent legal battle, Judge Edward Hess ruled that Lauryn’s demands for financial support from Walker were excessive.
Despite Walker already buying Lauryn a lavish £2.4 million home and covering substantial living and child maintenance costs, she pushed for even more—claiming he should be providing an annual support package equivalent to a £350,000 salary.
The judge deemed Lauryn’s demands as treating Walker “like an open-ended chequebook,” a ruling that many men in similar situations might find vindicating.
Lauryn’s argument that her daughter Kinara needed a £31,000 AstroTurf for potential future football stardom and her claim for a new £70,000 Mercedes every three years—plus a £30,000 car for a nanny who couldn’t drive—seemed to push the boundaries of reason.
These demands, alongside additional requests like £33,000 for air conditioning, made her case appear less about the children’s needs and more about maintaining a luxurious lifestyle.
This ruling could set an important precedent.
Many men who have gone through contentious divorces often feel their exes view them as perpetual sources of income rather than partners with whom they’ve shared a life.
The judge’s decision was a clear message that financial support shouldn’t be limitless and that the idea of an ex-spouse as a “cash cow” is unacceptable.
On a different note, Katy Perry’s recent attempt to revitalize her career with her new single “Woman’s World” didn’t quite hit the mark. After it flopped, reaching only No 63 on the US Hot 100, Perry seems to have decided that stripping down might be the answer.
At 39, and with her career in a slump, Perry’s latest public appearance felt like a desperate bid for attention, showing just how far some stars will go when they’re struggling.
