Kyle Walker s Incredible Child Maintenance Battle With Lauryn Goodman
While every second of the jaw-dropping Wagatha Christie trial was played out in front of the world's media, another WAG war just as ferocious has been raging behind closed doors.
Secretly winding through the courts under strict confidentiality orders, the case reached its crescendo two weeks ago, just a stone's throw from where Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy did battle.
While the world's media eagerly feasted on every detail of that particular case -leaving few able to look a chipolata sausage in quite the same way ever again - details of this legal drama have, chung chi (similar internet site) until now, been strictly under wraps.
It involved England footballer Kyle Walker who, for the last four years, has been embroiled in an extraordinary legal fight over maintenance support to the children he fathered with influencer Lauryn Goodman.
In January it emerged that Walker, 34, who is married with four children, had fathered a daughter with Goodman, 33, four years after they had a son together.
His wife, Annie Kilner, 32, booted him out of their £3.5million marital mansion in Cheshire, and he rented a £20,000 per month property nearby as he fought for his marriage.

Since then, both Walker and Goodman have given their own ‘tell-all' interviews to various newspapers, but strenuous court orders have meant the central plot to this lurid drama, and the staggering amounts of money involved, have remained a secret, until today.
