Lauryn Goodman is preparing to relocate to Italy with her children to be closer to England international Kyle Walker, who recently joined AC Milan on loan from Manchester City. The Sun reports that Goodman has been spotted packing boxes at her Sussex home, accompanied by her two children, Kairo and Kinara, both of whom she shares with Walker.
The move comes as Walker, 34, embarks on a new chapter in his career with Milan. According to sources close to Goodman, she views the Italian move as a favorable option compared to potential alternatives, stating that "Saudi would've been a bit too far and would feel more final." The source added that Italy's proximity makes it more convenient than her previous commutes to Cheshire, noting that Goodman is "excited for new adventures with her children."
However, the situation is complicated by Walker's strained relationship with his estranged wife, Annie Kilner, with whom he has four children. Their marriage is reportedly experiencing difficulties, and Kilner is said to be considering sharing details about their relationship on television. The personal drama intensified last year when Walker's spokeswoman criticized Goodman for what was described as her "insatiable greed and relentless pursuit of money" during a child maintenance dispute.
While these personal matters unfold, Walker is focusing on his professional career in Italy. The defender could make his Serie A debut for Milan in their upcoming match against Empoli on Saturday, as he seeks to establish himself in Italian football.
The situation underscores the complex personal dynamics surrounding Walker's move to Milan, as both Goodman and Kilner navigate their relationships with the England defender in different ways. For Goodman, the move represents an opportunity to maintain closer proximity for the sake of their children, while Walker attempts to balance his professional obligations with his personal life challenges.
