Kyle Walker's sister signs up for Married at First Sight as ex Lauryn Goodman prepares for Celebs Go Dating

Manchester City defender Kyle, aged 34, is a dad of six. He shares four of his children with his estranged wife Annie Kilner and two of them with Goodman. Kyle’s personal life has got people talking more than his professional life recent months. He and Kilner, who had been together for around 14 years and married for two years, separated in January after it was revealed that he is the father of Goodman’s second child.

Now, Kyle’s sister Laura, who has said she is newly single, is reportedly planning to make a name for herself by appearing on one of the top reality dating shows - Married at First Sight UK.

Taking to social media in recent weeks, Laura revealed she is hoping to star on the smash E4 show. According to The Sun, Laura shared her news online, writing: “I was going to keep this a secret, but I’m terrible at secrets and until I can’t share it!!

“I will, and take my facebook family along with me!! Newly single I’ve always said I’d love to go on married at first sight!!!. . . are we all ready for the laughs!!? So I applied.”

She continued: “With the help of a very special friend!!! Over the weeks I’ve had interviews!!! And I’m through to the recording stage . . . I’m putting my life in the hands of the experts lol . . . I will keep you all posted . . . ” She added: "Wish me all the luck in the world…”

It doesn’t seem like Laura will be among the first batch of singles who are taking part in this year’s dating experiment, which is due to air later this month, as she is not among the cast members which have just been announced by the broadcaster.

However, as fans of the show will know new couples are added a few weeks in to the experiment. So, it’s a wait to see if Laura will be one of the singles who will enter the process a little later. If she is, she’ll have an extra fast-tracked process.

At the same time, Goodman has signed up for another E4 dating show - Celebs Go Dating. The show sees famous faces paired up with members of the public for dates in the pursuit of love - guided by three relationship experts.

Paul Carrick Brunson (who is also one of the relationship experts on Married at First Sight), Anna Williamson and Dr Tara Suwinyattichaiporn run the celebrity dating agency.

In an interview with The Sun, Williamson said: “It’s been quite controversial, signing Lauryn up to the show. I think it’s fair to say there’s been very mixed opinions. . . She has joined the agency for her own reasons, because she wants help. You will discover, by watching the series, what help she does need.

“We don’t pack any punches, us coaches, and we made it very clear to Lauryn that if she just wanted to come on the show to trash her ex or the situation then we weren’t going to be a vehicle for that . . . But obviously talking about her ex and the situation she’s currently in is a huge part of her stoyline on the show and I think people will be very interested to hear it.”

She added that she hoped the scences were “sensitive and fair” to everyone involved. Fans of both dating shows will know that the experts on each are known for digging deep in to participant’s past dating life and provoking emotional conversations. There’s also usually plenty of drama.

Kyle has four children with Kilner; Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, Reign, five, and Rezon, who was born in April. Goodman, meanwile, had Kyle’s son Kairo in April 2020 and his daughter in August 2022.
