Lauryn's stalker hell ramps up

Lauryn Goodman is thought to be on "high alert" after harassment from a stalker led to 24/7 security at her home

Terrified Lauryn Goodman has been forced to hire round-the-clock security after being targeted by a stalker.

The 34-year-old influencer has been harassed with repeated calls to a private number previously known only to close friends and family.

The sinister calls are believed to have started at the beginning of this year, gradually escalating to the point where she contacted the police over the summer. She has since hired security firm BN1 to provide 24/7 protection at the home she shares with her two young children.

It’s believed her phone number may have fallen into the wrong hands after it was used in legal documents when she took her former lover and father of her children, footballer Kyle Walker, to court. But according to a source, the fact she’s being harassed on a second, more private number makes the stalking even more alarming.

Lauryn, who is mum to Kairo, five, and Kinara, two, with Kyle, 35, lives in a £2.4 million mansion owned by the footballer.

She famously fell pregnant in 2019, while he was on a break from childhood sweetheart Annie Kilner. But after Kairo was born, Kyle and Annie got back together, tying the knot in 2021.

Last year, Lauryn was embroiled in a bitter court showdown with Kyle over the custody arrangements surrounding their children, with the sports star ordered to pay £12,500 per month, as well as nursery, school and childcare costs.

Later in the year, Lauryn said she was exploring whether he could be “removed” from the children’s birth certificates.

Speaking on her podcast, Yours Sincerely, she also blasted Kyle for refusing to provide air conditioning at her home.
