Kyle Walker and Lauryn Goodman were in the same restaurant as each other – the first time they’ve in the same room together since their court battle.
The Premiere League ace won a battle against his ex-partner Lauryn after a judge ruled in the footballer’s favour in a high-stakes child maintenance case in July 2024.
Walker, who shares four children with his wife Annie Kilner, was embroiled in a paternity scandal last year when it emerged he had fathered a second child with influencer and model Lauryn, 34.
The Manchester City star, 35, was revealed as the father of Lauryn’s second child, a girl, four years after they welcomed a son, Kairo.
Now, in a chance encounter, it has been revealed they were both dining at the same restaurant as each other in central London last week.
They were both spotted with separate parties at upmarket establishment Bagatelle in Mayfair – 18 months after their court case.

A source told The Sun: ‘Everyone around them was watching. Annie’s friends were at the other side of the bar but word quickly got round.’
Meanwhile, sources at Bagatelle told the Daily Mail: ‘Kyle appeared relaxed as he chatted with friends at the restaurant, before leaving them to continue the celebrations after around 15 minutes.
‘Luckily, their table was well away from Lauryn’s, who stayed on after Kyle left, avoiding any chance of a surprise encounter.’
Another onlooker claimed that Lauryn and Kyle ‘were speaking for a bit before she walked away from the bar back to her friends.’
Daily Mail has contacted representatives for Kyle and Lauryn for comment.
Kylie and wife Annie, 33, who share Roman, 12, Riaan, eight, Reign, six and eight-month-old Rezon, are said to be in a good place after previous divorce fears.
Daily Mail previously revealed how the pair were back together and enjoyed a family trip with their children to Florida in June.
A source said at the time: ‘They are back together.

‘This wasn’t a ‘make-or-break’ holiday. It was a proper family trip where they were back together as man and wife.
‘They flew off – leaving the dogs at home to look after the house – and they were determined to have a great time.
‘Annie was obviously devastated and very, very angry about what Kyle did, so she threw him out for six months. After he moved back in they tried and tried. It was a hard process.
‘Deep down, they both knew that they wanted to be together – but there were so many distractions.’
Meanwhile, on Saturday evening Lauryn took to Instagram to share snaps from her Christmas Day with her children.
Alongside the festive snaps, she penned: ‘Proof that the best moments are the quiet ones at home. Super grateful for these two! Moments like these. Mrs Claus made an appearance.

Lauryn continued in her post: ‘Full hearts for our kids, empty cups behind the scenes and we still show up. Every time. We do it for them and they’ll appreciate it all’
‘Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas. I know it can be tough for people and it’s definitely a heavy time of the year.
‘I know being a single mum means being everyone’s safe place while carrying it all alone.
