LAURYN Goodman put on a brave face as she was spotted for the first time since Kyle Walker failed to send their two children Christmas presents.
Despite his £27million fortune, the Manchester City footballer has rejected son Kairo and daughter Kinara for a second year.
The Sun told how the father-of-six promised friends he would do the 'right thing' to his estranged children but left Lauryn disappointed again.
It comes six months after their courtroom confrontation over Lauryn's 'childcare' demands – where she was accused of using the England footballer as an 'open chequebook'.
Over Christmas, the doting mother had been “feeling the humbug spirit”, sources said – but today she was spotted smiling on a walk, holding hands with Kairo and Kinara with the other.
Wearing just a cardigan and jeans on a mild December day, Lauryn managed to smile as she continued to put her troubles behind her.
In one photo she played with her animated one-year-old Kinara and in another she affectionately pulled up Kairo's jacket as it slipped off his shoulder.
An insider previously said of the father of her children: “All their mutual friends have spoken to Kyle.
“They are very angry for the children and for Lauryn, who always tries to do the right thing for their children.
“They hoped Kyle would put aside his differences for the sake of the children
“But to have them do nothing for another year is just really sad.”
Lauryn became pregnant while Kyle was on a break from wife Annie in 2019 and Kairo was born the following year.
He and Annie – with whom he shares four children – rebuilt their relationship and married in 2021.
Lauryn and Kyle briefly rekindled their relationship before Kinara was conceived.
Lauryn broke the news of her second child with Kyle in a text message to then-pregnant Annie on December 27, sparking a huge public feud.
Kyle later admitted lying to both women and left the family home in Cheshire.
Annie filed for divorce in October and is preparing to get half of his fortune.
However, she let Kyle spend a few hours with her and their four sons on Christmas Day before heading to practice.
Manchester City played Everton on Boxing Day but left fans disappointed with a 1-1 draw.
