Earlier this week, Lauryn Goodman lost her “difficult and stressful” court case against the England footballer.

Having made some extravagant financial demands after giving birth to two of his kids behind his wife Annie Kilner’s back.

Among her requests were £48,000 for fitted wardrobes and a media screen, £9,115 for 14 CCTV cameras, £5,650 for an alarm, and £52,164 for curtains and blinds.

The reality star also wanted a £30,000 car for a nanny, additional childcare payments of £3,900 per month.

Until 2027 and a lump sum of £212,000 to buy premium bonds and a child ISA.

But she was slammed for her frivolous spending, which included forking out £15,396 on two sofas and £1,400 a month on gas bottles for garden lights.

After losing the case, Lauryn’s reality TV star sister Chloe Goodman backed her sister – despite a recent feud – and took a savage swipe at Annie, saying she’s “not innocent”.

Lauryn has also been hanging out with former TOWIE star Lauren Goodger, and having daily phone calls with Rebekah Vardy, who’s “totally in her corner”.

Meanwhile, Annie’s sister Sian dubbed Lauryn “cruel and evil,” for taunting her with her children and sending her a text to let her know Kyle was the father of her daughter just two days after Christmas.

We take a look at Annie and Lauryn’s warring inner circles.

It was Lauryn’s sister Chloe who first helped her on her journey to fame.

After Chloe had been on Ex On The Beach and Celebrity Big Brother – on which she was the first person to be evicted – she was never seen at any showbiz party without younger sister Lauryn by her side, hanging on her coattails.

They’ve always been close and Chloe stood by Lauryn in 2019 when she was found guilty of benefit fraud, and handed a seven-month suspended sentence and 200 hours of unpaid work.

The sisters even lived together during the lockdown in 2020, helping each other as they’d both become new mums within weeks of one another.

But earlier this year, the sisters fell out after Lauryn revealed her second child was also Kyle’s.

Following the scandal, Chloe cut all ties with Lauryn, blocked her on social media, and even uninvited her from her Portugal wedding to footballer Grant Hall.

But Chloe has still backed her sister’s children when she’s seen others talking about the scandal, including Luisa Zissman.

Taking to her Instagram Stories, former Apprentice star Luisa wrote: “So I know Kyle did the dirty, but his wife hasn’t deserved any of this circus. She has kept her dignity. Those kids were BRED for money. It’s a disgrace!”

Chloe then screenshot Luisa’s post and commented: “Please don’t speak about my niece and nephew in a bid to stay relevant.

“Kyle, Annie and Lauryn are all at fault, not one of them is a victim. I am aware not everything is public so I know they are all at fault. The children are the only innocent ones.”

Lauryn has been having daily calls with Rebekah ever since the Euros, as she was in Germany with Kyle and her eldest son Kairo, four.

“She’s really bonded with Lauryn over the last few weeks,” an insider told Closer.  “It started with Becky just reaching out to offer Lauryn support during the Euros.

“But it’s progressed massively into almost daily calls, and they are now planning on meeting up when Becky gets back from her holidays.

“Becky’s totally in her corner and knows how toxic the general environment around the WAGs can be,”

Having been at the centre of her own court case against Coleen Rooney – which she also lost – it may be possible she’d been giving her advice.

Former TOWIE star Lauren Goodger has been friends with Lauryn and her sisters for a long time, and been seen hanging out a lot over the years.

And Lauren has said she feels sorry for Lauryn.

A source told The Sun: “Lauren Goodger was very good friends with Lauryn and was even at her baby shower and she really feels for her.

“A lot of people in their inner circle have been talking about it. It’s all very sad.”

She also denied claims she’d fallen out with Lauryn.

On her Instagram, she wrote: “If anything, I feel sorry for her right now and there are very young children involved, which people are forgetting.”

Annie Kilner has been comforted by Ched Evans’ wife Natasha Massey ever since the scandal regarding Lauryn broke out.

The pair have been seen together on numerous occasions.

Natasha’s now-husband Ched was convicted of raping a woman at a hotel in Wales in 2011. The Welsh international was cleared in 2016, following a retrial.

And Natasha stood by him throughout the time he was in jail, and his long legal battle, despite the fact Evans was unfaithful.

Annie and Kieran Trippier’s wife Charlotte have been friends since childhood, growing even closer after they both married Premier League footballers.

And the pair reportedly formed a “deadly alliance” during the Euros as Charlotte failed to turn up to any games in Germany and hinted at marriage troubles.

While England were playing against Slovenia, Charlotte shared a post on Instagram reading: “Sooner or later you get over the s*** you swore you’d never get over and it’s the best feeling in the world.”

Speaking of Charlotte and Annie’s relationship, a close source told the Daily Mail: “It seems coincidental that they are such good friends, are both clearly having issues in their marriages and are both ensuring that their private lives are being discussed across the country while England are under such scrutiny at the Euros.

“Annie has become a bit of an expert at getting her voice out there, whether it is through her PR or by directly briefing journalists.

“Her relationship problems have had everyone gripped. Now it’s the same for Charlotte. It really does seem to be a bit of a deadly WAG alliance that is distracting their husbands and also overshadowing the tournament.”

Annie’s sister Sian Kilner has been her biggest defender.

It came out in the court case yesterday, that, just two days after Christmas, Lauryn had texted Annie, who was four months pregnant at the time, to tell her her second child was also Kyle’s.

She texted: “Hey it’s Lauryn I just wanted to quickly tell you that Kyle is the father of our daughter”.

Lauryn’s spokesperson also claimed she and Kyle were in an “intimate, loving and affectionate relationship” in January – which Kyle denied in an astonishingly frank interview with us,

Annie’s sister, Sian, slammed Lauryn in an Instagram post at the time.

She said the model “lacked empathy”, and asked she give their family a break.

Sian wrote: “When does your torment end? My sister, who is now seven months pregnant, has faced your cruelty for almost five years now. What’s your goal?

“To see how much stress you can put on a pregnant woman? To create a false victim narrative around what you did?

“You clearly lack empathy but this level of evil is out of control and harms everyone – especially the children.

“Stop accusing others; your true self is revealed. The so-called ‘loving relationship’ is a facade.

“It’s not fooling anyone so why don’t you just give us all a break and stop.

“Also, He has one sugar, Nestle Coffee Mate and semi-skimmed milk. But that’s the coffee you get at home.. not the ones in hotels or air b&bs.”
