A THREE Lions ace is expecting a cub of his own after a secret romance with model and Instagram star Lauryn Goodman.
The England footballer, who has a personal fortune worth millions, had a brief relationship with her behind his partner’s back.

It ended without either of them knowing Lauryn, 29, was pregnant.
The baby is due in April.
A source said: “This was a bolt from the blue and has turned their lives upside down.
“But they are determined to do the right thing for the child’s sake.
“Lauryn and the footballer have known each other for years.
“They have lots of mutual friends and they always got really well.
“But their relationship has never been anything other than friendship-based until last summer.
“They were both feeling low, so they started speaking more frequently on the phone and acting as a bit of a shoulder to cry on for each other.
“They have been seen on multiple occasions on nights out together.
“But their relationship has never been anything other than friendship-based until last summer.
‘LITTLE MIRACLE’
“Lauryn and him hooked up a few times but then decided they didn’t want to ruin their friendship so chose to go back to being mates.”
Their brief romance came after her relationship with Manchester United star Marcus Rashford’s older brother Dane.
They split last February after she grew tired of his jet-setting lifestyle.
This week, Lauryn, of Hove, East Sussex, was pictured showing off her baby bump in a green bikini on a Barbados beach.
She confirmed her pregnancy in an emotional Instagram post, calling it her “little miracle”.
Lauryn revealed specialists had told her she would never be able to conceive naturally as she suffered from endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome.
She posted: “I can finally reveal I’ve managed to fall pregnant unexpectedly & naturally.
“I found out via a kidney/bladder scan when I was around #20weeks & I am honestly so thankful for this gift and I cannot wait to meet he/she.”

It is understood Lauryn found out she was pregnant in November during a routine trip to hospital.
It means the baby was conceived last July — a month after England lost to Holland in the semi-finals of UEFA’s Nations League event.
The source added: “Lauryn was very shocked.
“She had no pregnancy symptoms and had been told she couldn’t have kids unless she had IVF.
“She knew straight away who the baby’s dad was.
“He was shocked too but they are determined to ensure the child is loved.”
Lauryn’s sister Chloe, 26, — who starred in MTV’s Ex on the Beach in 2014 and Celebrity Big Brother in 2015 — is also pregnant.
Her baby with her QPR footballer boyfriend Grant Hall is due in March.
When contacted by The Sun on Sunday, Lauryn refused to comment.
