Lauryn Goodman has shared details of a message she claims to be from Kyle Walker with her fans online and lashed out at the father of her children and his wife.
Posting to social media this week, mum-of-two Goodman declared that "one of us has to be a responsible adult in this situation" as she shared a screenshot of a Snapchat message seemingly sent from Walker.
But friends close to Walker and Kilner have hit back and described Goodman's latest social media posts as "bizarre" and claimed the Snapchat screenshots shared by the mum-of-two are "old" and omit her own messages to the dad-of-six.
The couple's pal allege Goodman "is trying to drag up the past and manipulate the narrative" while Walker and Kilner are trying to resolve the issues via legal channels in order to do the best "for all the children involved."
Instagram influencer Goodman, 33, shares two children with the Manchester City footballer, with both conceived while Walker was in a relationship with childhood sweetheart Annie Kilner.

England international Walker, 33, and his estranged wife recently welcomed their fourth child together into the world. Despite Kilner announcing that she was taking "some time away" from her marriage in January, she and Walker are said to be looking towards the future and "forgetting his past actions".

Amid Walker and Kilner seemingly reconciling following the birth of their youngest child, Goodman has spoken out via social media several times - most recently on Wednesday night, when she shared screenshots of historic Snapchat messages between herself and Walker on her Instagram Stories. The Mirror approached representatives for Walker and Kilner for comment on Goodman's posts but they declined to comment.
Reacting to Goodman's latest post, a friend of Walker and Kilner's told the Mirror on Thursday: "Lauren’s latest bid for attention on social media is bizarre - not only is the screenshot of the Snapchat message from Kyle old, it cleverly crops out the demanding messages sent from her to him prior to his reply.
"Of course Kyle and Annie have a PR representative - he is one of the best international footballers in the world and she is his wife. He plays at the absolute highest level for both Manchester City and England. However, once again Lauren is trying to drag up the past and manipulate the narrative."

Lauryn Goodman, who shares two kids with Kyle Walker, shared this on Instagram on Wednesday (Instagram/ @lauryngoodman91)The couple's confidant continued: "Kyle and Annie’s position has never changed and they don’t want to conduct personal, family matters via social media - they’re doing things via legal channels in order to do the best for all the children involved. Sadly, Lauren uses social media and the media in a bid to be relevant and attempt to push Annie and Kyle into a public slanging match and drumming up a frenzy and fuelling the stories. She is constantly papped dressed up, without the children in the middle of the day and even places stories about her children's birthday parties.
"There was never a loving relationship between Kyle and Lauren and the way she tries to position herself as a WAG is delusional. Kyle has publicly apologised to Annie for his past, when he would do anything to keep Lauren quiet, and stands by his original interview comments - Lauren would say jump and he would ask how high. Hopefully Lauren will run out of old screenshots to share and focus on her own children by dealing with this matter in the correct way through the open legal channels put in place to protect the children. "
Taking to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday night, Goodman shared a screenshot of a Snapchat message supposedly from Walker with her 182,000 followers. "First of all I need to speak to u in the morning. I didn't know the kids was coming out and that a promise," the text allegedly from Walker begins.
The message continues: "So I'm sorry to u and K for that but please give me a minute in the morning to have a word with u. Hope my boy's ok and that was for hi. him." Goodman captioned the screenshot: "Come with the fake news I'll come with the facts. I'm not the one paying a monthly retainer to a 'PR guru' to keep the circus going.
"When they are serious about sacking their 'PR guru' then I'll know they're putting ALL of the children first in this situation and want to be intentional about a solution. I won't be vilified and used as a scapegoat for their narrative. One of us has to be a responsible adult in this situation."

Speaking in an interview in January, dad-of-six Walker apologised to Kilner, calling her his "soulmate", and took full responsibility for his actions. But he also made some pointed comments about Goodman, denying they ever had a relationship with the mum-of-two and stating they were just friends before conceiving two children together.
A spokesperson for Goodman responded to Walker's interview comments, saying: "While she does not want to get into the details of everything he has said at this stage, she is disappointed by his deluded version of events - which is dramatically different to her own recollection of their long-standing, intimate, loving and affectionate relationship. Having read back through many years of messages sent between them to assure herself that her memory is accurate, she is confused as to how he has seemingly forgotten their many highly personal conversations and memories made with their children as a family."
The spokesperson continued to tell the MailOnline that Walker's version of events being presented to the public is "not the reality" and accused the sports star of using his "wealth and influence" in order to "conduct interviews depicting a narrative which is simply untrue."

The mum-of-two has been flooded with support (Instagram/ @lauryngoodman91)After sharing a screenshot of a Snapchat message allegedly sent by Walker with her fans on Wednesday night, Goodman then posted some of the replies she received from her followers regarding her original post. "You're so strong," one of Goodman's fans began in their message to the star.
"I never message celebrities but I follow your story so much and stand with you. It is so clear they are paying the media to paint your in a bad light when all it seems you do is put your kids above anyone. Keep going babe, we are all supporting you." Goodman added a collection of love-heart emojis to the message and wrote: "Over and out."
Walker and Kilner recently celebrated the arrival of their fourth child - a boy - merely weeks after revelations surfaced involving Walker fathering another child with Goodman while still married to Kilner. But the couple - who have been together since their teenage years - are thought to be putting past difficulties aside and looking towards the future.
"Kyle and Annie are over the moon and anything in the past isn't important right now," a source close to the pair told the Mirror last month. The couple's friend added: "They're focusing on their four children as they take priority over everything. Yes, they've had hurdles, which Kyle has accepted he was in the wrong but they just want their children to come first. He's been recovering from an injury and captained England and Manchester City all while being on hand to support Annie after they welcomed the little one."
The Mirror has approached representatives for Walker and Kilner for comment on this story.
