Lauryn Goodman looked strained as she was seen for the first time since her ex Kyle Walker welcomed a fourth child with his wife Annie Kilner.
The TV personality, 33, stepped out in Sussex on Wednesday and was seen looking tense as she took a phone call – while bizarrely clutching another phone in her spare hand.
Hours before she was on her mobile to share what transpired to be an awkwardly timed post as Kyle and Annie confirmed the birth of their fourth child.
On Tuesday, Lauryn took to Instagram to gush about how ‘blessed’ she felt having a ‘perfect’ family consisting of a son and a daughter.
Days earlier, Annie and Kyle had welcomed their fourth son together. The couple have no daughters and are also parents to Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, and Reign, five.

Lauryn, who found prominence as a result of her younger sister Chloe Goodman – of Ex On The Beach and Celebrity Big Brother fame – looked tense during the phone call.
She was casually clad in a khaki jumper and purple leggings, accessorising with a baseball cap and colourful Nike trainers.
Earlier in the week, Lauryn uploaded a graphic to Instagram that read: ‘Sometimes a perfect family is just a mum and her kids.’
She captioned the post: ‘One of each [pink heart, blue heart]. Their love for one another is perfect. Couldn’t be more blessed.
‘Little one has changed so much already and Kairo Walker is loosing his baby features as school year approaches. Growing up so fast! [sic]’
The pair are said to be ‘overjoyed’ at their newborn’s safe arrival after Annie found the stress of the past few months ‘very difficult.’
A friend told The Daily Mail’s Alison Boshoff that the past few months have been a ‘devastating’ and ‘difficult’ time for Annie, who discovered in December – when she was pregnant – that husband Kyle had fathered a second child with Instagram influencer Lauryn.
He has been living in a rented house away from the family home since January, but the couple have continued to co-parent and are doing their best to rebuild their marriage.
Annie feared that the stress could take its toll on the baby and found the media attention during the latter stages of her pregnancy very difficult.

Interviews and social media posts given by Lauryn at the time served to amp up the drama and Annie’s sister Sian spoke of the ‘cruel’ toll which it had taken on her at the time.
The friend said: ‘The whole family are absolutely thrilled about the baby. It is a relief and a source of joy for them all. They want to move forward with their lives away from the drama from here on.
‘The baby came over the weekend and we believe Kyle was with Annie in the hospital to support her as was always planned. Kyle has been a very involved father, and a very good father, throughout everything that has happened.
‘He and Annie are working on their relationship and nobody knows what the future will hold. They have not fully reconciled yet, he is still in his own place.
‘However they do want to send a message that they are united as a family. Annie will continue to support him and they both agree that their family is their priority.’
Last month, Kyle’s three sons ran out at Wembley as mascots when England played Brazil.
There is speculation that the entire family including Annie and the newborn may come out to support him at the crucial Champions League match against Real Madrid on Wednesday.
The whole family is expected to support Kyle at the Euros this summer.

Lauryn had a brief fling with Kyle in 2019 before they had a son the following year called Kairo. He was conceived while Walker was temporarily split from Annie, then his long term girlfriend.
In November 2021, Annie and Kyle, who first started dating at school, were back together and got married.
But in October 2022 he slept with Lauryn again, while in London seeking treatment for a groin strain. She had her second child – a daughter – in the summer of 2023.
In an original interview revealing the name of her second child’s dad, Lauryn said she was the one who wanted everything to be public.
‘I didn’t want them [Kyle and Annie] to split up or cause harm, but it had to be out in the open for all of our sakes,’ she said then, explaining that she had Facetimed with Annie in December last year and shown her their daughter’s DNA test.
Lauryn claimed she and Kyle had been in a long relationship and Kyle had been leading a double life, playing the two women off against each other.
Kyle’s response, in an interview with The Sun on Sunday, was to call Annie his soul mate and desperately ask her to forgive him. He spoke sorrowfully of ‘idiot choices and idiot decisions’.
He also claimed that he had only slept with Lauryn twice with both infidelities resulting in a baby. He said: ‘There was no relationship. That is something Lauryn could never say.
‘We’ve never been out for food, we’ve never been to the cinema. To have a relationship with someone… would she even know how many sugars I have in my coffee, if I have sugars? She couldn’t tell you.’
In his interview with The Sun, Kyle said: ‘Lauryn had me trapped in a corner from October, when she told me about the second child.
‘She was in a position of control where if she asked me to jump, I would respond, “How high?”
‘This was to meet growing and unreasonable demands in return for not destroying my family.’
Kyle, who has been injured, is said to be fully focused on his football ahead of his next game.
