Lauryn Goodman tells her side of the story in an exclusive interview with the Mail and hits back at those who label her a ‘homewrecker’ over her relationship with Kyle Walker.
The full exclusive interview will be published on Mail+, Mail Online’s new subscription service, tomorrow morning.
Goodman claims both she and Walker’s wife Annie Kilner are victims of his ‘ego’ and ‘lies’.
And she says she has ‘barely slept for days’ following Walker’s interview this week, in which he referred to their relationship as a ‘mistake’.
She revealed: ‘Nobody understands what it is like when a young boy points to a photo of his dad and just wants to see him. It breaks my heart.
‘It was me who ended it with Kyle. If I’d wanted to, I could have continued to have a secret family together.
But I couldn’t deal with the toxicity any more, and I realised it wasn’t good for my children.’
The influencer broke down in tears and said: ‘When will this end? I need this to end.’
