Lauryn Goodman admits there was “no need for a DNA” when it comes to daughter Kinara as she “is the spit” of Manchester City star father Kyle Walker.

England international defender Walker has a four-year-old son, Kairo, with ex-Love Island star Goodman. He has also fathered a one-year-old daughter outside of his marriage to long-term partner Annie Kilner. A paternity scandal was sparked when it emerged that Goodman was pregnant with a second child.

Walker has accepted his role as a father – with four children shared with wife Kilner – and Goodman has been explaining why he could never deny that Kinara was his. She has told her ‘Yours Sincerely’ podcast when in conversation with co-host Jess Phillips: “Now she's getting older, how much is she looking like Kairo?” Phillips said: “I've never seen a child look so much like another human, that is a carbon copy more than Kairo.” Goodman added: “When Kairo was a baby he looked like him, but not on the level of Keeks. It was mental. The pictures when I Iook back give me PTSD.”

Phillips quipped, in a nod towards Walker questioning whether he was the father: “You never could have got away with it! Never! You could have never mentioned Kyle's name for the rest of your life, but one look at Keeks and people would have been like ‘no need for a DNA!’”

Goodman went on to say: “Everyone knew, everyone knew when they saw. They were like, ‘they are the spit of each other’ and now she's grown up, she's really looking like Kairo now. Kyle didn't think that [he and daughter look alike] when he saw Keeks. Kyle didn't think that, Kyle thought she was the spit of Kairo.”

There has been talk of Kilner serving Walker with divorce papers, as their relationship reaches breaking point. It is now being suggested that their marriage could be saved by a move to Saudi Arabia that would make it easier for them to “ignore” Goodman and the noise that she continues to generate.
