After meeting on celebrity dating app Raya Lauryn Goodman has been dating tennis star Jack Draper but friends say there are no plans to [pursue things further
Following her public fall out with former Manchester City footballer Kyle Walker, it’s perhaps understandable that Lauryn Goodman would want to find love again. According to reports the 34 year old mum of two, joined the celebrity dating app Raya and matched with tennis star Jack Draper, who is 11 years younger than her.
The pair enjoyed a date at a coffee shop in Wandsworth and appeared to be flirting and enjoying each other’s company. But it looks as though Jack is not interested in pursuing things further with Lauryn.
A source revealed to The Sun on Sunday: “Jack’s a regular so I see him often. He towered above her, but they were flirting as he bought her a coffee. I saw them leave together.”
They added: “It was terrible weather, so he was trying to shelter her from getting wet. They looked comfortable and at ease in each other’s company. He had his arms wrapped around her.”
The pair had been exchanging text messages since April but finally met up in person in September. Another source told the publication: “Lauryn was concerned about the age difference but decided just to enjoy it because she’s been through the mill and deserves to have a bit of fun.”
But it has now surfaced that Jack has “no plans” on forming a relationship with Lauryn. Those close to Jack said: “They met once and there are no plans to see each other again.”
Lauryn became a major talking point last year after it emerged that she had welcomed another child with Kyle, who was married to Annie Kilner at the time she fell pregnant.
And at that time, Annie was determined to pursue a divorce. But it looks as though the former Manchester City player, who now plays for Burnely, has managed to patch things up with the mum of four.
He is now back in the family home in Cheshire, according to reports.
Back in January last year, Kyle issued a public apology to his devastated wife. He said: “What I’ve done is horrible and I take full responsibility. I made idiot choices and idiot decisions. I can’t begin to think or imagine what Annie is going through. I’ve tried to ask her but there’s pain and hurt.”
He continued: “My actions have caused a lot of pain to a lot of people. I’m sorry because, as a family, this isn’t meant to happen.”
Speaking to The Sun at the time he went on to say: “What I’ve done is horrible and I take full responsibility. The only person to blame is me. I have roles and responsibilities that I’m aware of, and I’ve made stupid choices.
But I need to own up to my mistakes – I owe it to everyone.”
