Goodman, 33, has two children with the England and Manchester City star, who is married to model Annie Kilner, with whom he has four children.

Speaking on Celebs Go Dating, which she entered mid-way through the series, Goodman opened up to presenters Anna Williamson and Paul Brunson about her previous romantic relationships.

The influencer and model said: "My last one, Kyle, I've known him since I was like early 20s.

"We were friends at the time, but he'd always liked me, but I knew he had a girlfriend at the time."

She said she had never been friends with Walker's wife, Annie, adding: "No, he kept everything very separate from her.

"It was 2019 and she'd kicked him out, you know, he's not with her any more. So, I thought, 'Ok, like, why not?'"

When asked how Walker reacted to news of her first pregnancy, she said: "I think it was more shocked because he'd gone back then with his girlfriend.

"And so, I think he felt like, 'Oh gosh, I've been kicked out and now she doesn't know about Lauryn and now she's pregnant'.

"It knocked me sideways. I just remember, I just kept being like, 'What? Has this been some sort of sick game?'"

Goodman had a second child with Walker in 2020. He later apologised to his wife for what he called his "stupid choices".

In July, Kyle appeared in court over a dispute over child maintenance payments to Goodman, in which the judge ruled he should pay £12,500 per month in child maintenance, and £5,000 for furniture, lower than Ms Goodman's initial demand of £20,000.

He was also ordered to pay £30,000 for a car to be used by a nanny and other fees.

The judge dismissed many of Goodman's other demands, concluding she was "not reliable".

Kilner announced at the start of the year she would be taking "some time away" from her marriage to Walker.

Sky News has contacted Kyle Walker's representatives for comment.
