Manchester city boss Pep Guardiola revealed skipper Kyle Walker has told him he wants to leave the club, seeking pastures new abroad. While they may not be travelling together, Kyle’s ex Lauryn Goodman also wants to leave the country.
The reality TV star, who shares two children with the England and City star, is said to be keen to take a time out from the UK in order to fully focus on her kids.
And she’s thought to have asked Kyle if she is able to rent out the extravagant multi-million pound mansion he had bought her to live with their two kids.
It comes as sources claim Lauryn, 33, no longer speaks to her family members, including her sister Chloe who was disappointed she had previously rekindled with Kyle, so has no major links to the UK anymore.

A source told The Sun: “It’s been a turbulent time for Lauryn and she is keen to have a change of scenery, where she can focus on the children. She loves the idea of living somewhere sunny, like Dubai, temporarily.
“Because Kyle owns the property, she has to ask his permission to rent it out. She would need to do that in order to be able to rent a property abroad.”
“She’s no longer close to her family, so feels she doesn’t have any ties to the UK right now, and has loved taking her children abroad on holiday to get away from everything.”

The Manchester City star, 34, fathered two secret love children with model Lauryn – a son called Kairo in 2020, during a brief split from his wife Annie Kilner, and a daughter called Kinara in 2023. Last month, influencer Lauryn took Kyle to court over child maintenance support.
The judge considered many of her demands unreasonable and said she treated him like an ‘open-ended cheque book’. It was reported that Kyle, who earns an estimated £160,000 per week, bought her the £2.4million seven-bedroom mansion she currently lives in with her children.
A source claimed Kyle forked out on the mansion in an exclusive area of East Sussex last autumn. She was said to be “thrilled” with her new home and enjoyed renovating the property, splashing out £40,000 on bespoke curtains and blinds alone.
The modern home consists of wooden flooring, full-length windows and plain walls. She also has a huge reception room with a small sofa in the corner.
Despite the lavish mansion and maintenance support from Kyle, her home remains bare. The TV personality, who appeared on Celebs Go Dating, bought a dining table for eight and a hydro pool in the garden.
“My kids should have what Kyle and Annie’s kids have,” she insisted to the Daily Mail. “They have AstroTurf in their garden so why shouldn’t mine? The law states that they should have the same.”

Lauryn, whose Instagram account switches between being private often shares glimpses inside of the mansion, which include a large cream sofa and a gigantic wall-mounted flat-screen television.
A source told The Sun in September: “Kyle has spent so much on this house. It cost a fortune. Lauryn is obviously pleased Kyle has finally done the right thing. She wants the kids to feel happy and secure.” The source explained Lauryn had been living with her mum for a while, “with both kids cramped in one room” and it hadn’t “been easy”.
The source added: “It is an amazing house, she is thrilled. It’s like something out of Footballers’ Wives. It’s massive.” They claimed she had spent an “absolute fortune” making the place her own and worked with a “fancy interior designer”.
Now, she wants to leave the mansion and rent it out so she can afford living abroad, marking a fresh start for the young mum.
