Influencer Lauryn Goodman has been spotted with British No1 tennis player Jack Draper "flirting" at a café in southwest London.

Lauryn, 34, who is the ex-girlfriend of footballer Kyle Walker, is said to have matched with Draper on celebrity dating app Raya.

The pair were spotted on a date at a coffee shop in Wandsworth and an onlooker described Jack, 23, as a "perfect gentleman", The Sun on Sunday reports.

The duo were "flirting as he bought her a coffee" and left together with his "arms wrapped around her".

The customer added: "He towered above her, but they were flirting as he bought her a coffee. I saw them leave together."

Another insider added: "“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."

The tennis star is famed for his 6ft 4in stature and is understood to have matched with Lauryn in April but they were not seen together until September 10.

The mother-of-two has been single since ending her relationship with Walker, which took place despite his marriage to Annie Kilner. The ex-Manchester City defender, now playing for Burnley, is understood to have moved back in with Annie at their family home in Cheshire.

Jack is known to keep a low profile about his private life and rarely discusses his relationships in interviews.

Those close to him report there is no ongoing romance with Lauryn and although the pair have met, "there are no plans to see each other again".

Representatives for Jack and Lauryn have been approached for comment.

Earlier this year, it was reported Lauryn was planning to publish a tell-all book about her relationship with Kyle Walker, behind the back of his wife Annie Kilner.

Sources claimed Goodman was also in talks with Channel 4 to produce a documentary focused on footballer’s off-pitch behaviour, with an agent helping to negotiate the potential deal.

The influencer has also previously complained that cruel trolls called social services about her and Kyle Walker’s children.
