Lauryn Goodman and Kyle Walker’s baby has HIS surname as star finally reveals son’s ‘Money Heist inspired’ moniker
LAURYN Goodman has finally revealed the name of her baby son, Kairo Walker.
The reality star gave birth to Kairo in April, who she had with Manchester City and England footballer Kyle Walker, but had only referred to him as 'Junior' until now.
She took to her Instagram page to tell her fans what her son's name really was.
"Happy to finally share with you all ...." she wrote alongside a photo of herself wearing a bracelet in tribute to her 11-month-old.
"Kairo Walker. You are my everything."
Her fans loved the name which was inspired by Spanish thriller, Money Heist.
"Love his name! 💙," wrote one fan.
Another added: "Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️ love the name! X"
And a third said: "What a gorgeous name 💙"
“I was pregnant in the middle of the pandemic so I got into watching Money Heist,” she told
“I really liked how all the characters were named after cities. That’s how I chose his name, Kairo, after Egypt’s capital but spelt with a ‘K’ to make it unique.”
The reality star also defended giving Kairo his dad's surname after the pair only had a short fling in 2019.
“Single mums have questioned why Kairo’s surname is Walker because they say they don’t want to give the father the satisfaction of them having their surname," Lauryn said.
"It was a mutual decision to name him Walker and I honoured that.
“I appreciate there was speculation, but I don’t feel I constantly have to justify myself for any decisions that are made with our son.”
She also revealed it can be hard being a single mum, but having her sister and CBB star Chloe Goodman also raising her daughter at the same time is a big help.
Chloe gave birth to Isla in June last year and shares her with footballer fiancé Grant Hall.
“Every time I feel like breaking down, I look at my son. He gives me inner strength and courage I never knew I had,” she explained.
“And it’s been amazing sharing the first year of parenthood with my sister. Being able to bubble up, as we both have children under one, has been a huge help."
Lauryn added: “Kairo loves Isla and he is always trying to cuddle and kiss her. It’s so cute. We’ve had to try to teach them to share toys!”
Fans speculated Lauryn may have given her son his dad's surname after they spotted 'KW' necklace visibly be seen dangling down her chest on a recent trip to Dubai.
