Bowling billionaire's son Peter Goodwin ‘cheated on wife with their kids' nanny – and demanded divorce on Christmas Day'

While Cara looked after the kids, fast-living Peter was allegedly wining and dining their ex-nanny, Annette Lombard, now 27, according to court docs seen by the New York Post.
Peter - whose super-successful father co-owned the AMF Bowling chain - reportedly sparked the divorce with a hysterical Christmas Day outburst.
Cara 'sat in front of him holding their four-month-old daughter' as he swore they were done and fled, screaming obscenities, while the couple's other three youngsters watched, according to the court papers filed by Cara in Albemarle County Circuit Court.
Within the week, Peter and Annette were keeping one another company at the lux Four Seasons Hotel in Surfside, Florida, the documents allege.
Over the next few months, the pair bounded around the country engaging in "adulterous acts" - everywhere from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to Florida's Palm Beach, the documents claim.
Annette began working for couple as a 21-year-old University of Virginia undergrad in 2019, according to the papers.
She apparently lived for around a year in the house with the family from the spring of 2020 to look after the children during the pandemic.
She became so close to the kids that they referred to her as their sister, the filing says.
That same year, Peter hired Annette to also work for him at his office — and eventually promoted her to a vice-president of his company.
By the end of 2020, Cara had gone to Peter with "growing concerns" about his relationship with Annette - which he "dismissed", the documents say.

Cara gave birth to the couple's fourth child in August 2023.
The papers say that, the very next month, Peter raised a "strong desire" for more independence to "focus on his own self-care".
Peter filed for divorce from Cara in January 2025, court records show.
He admitted to the affair in his response to Cara's allegations, the New York Post reports.
There is a prenup in place, and Cara is seeking half of their marital assets.

She is also fighting for child support and $500,000 to pay lawyers and experts, the filings show.
The pair reached an agreement in February 2024 to share custody of their children.
Peter filed a motion last month to seal the divorce case, which Cara's side is opposing.
Cara and Peter got married in 2014.
According to public records, they founded the Peter and Cara Goodwin Foundation.
Peter also has multiple other businesses connected to his name.
Cara, who holds a PhD, is the founder of Parenting Translator - a brand with over 135,000 followers on Instagram.
The Sun has approached Peter and Cara for comment.

Brooklyn Beckham 'heartbroken' wife Nicola Peltz is being 'painted as a viper' in feud - after pair 'snubbed' his family from vow renewal
Brooklyn Beckham is reportedly 'heartbroken' over the way his wife Nicola Peltz is being 'painted as a viper' within their ongoing family feud. Billionaire heiress Nicola has previously been accused of 'isolating' Brooklyn from not only his family, but his friends too. Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, said 'I do' for a second time on August 2 in Westchester County in front of her family, with the Beckham clan notably absent. His parents David, 50, and Victoria, 51, and his brothers Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and sister Harper, 14, were nowhere in sight at the second wedding. Brooklyn's grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles were also absent and only found out about the wedding vow renewal by reading it online. New sources allege Brooklyn is not being held from making his own decisions and is 'devastated' over the way his wife is being portrayed. A source told The Mirror: 'It's so rooted in misogyny that all of the heat for his parents not being invited is on Nicola. 'Everyone seems to forget that Brooklyn is an adult man and fully capable of speaking out. Nicola would have respected all that he chose. 'It breaks Brooklyn's heart to see his wife being painted as this vixen and viper.' Daily Mail has contacted Brooklyn, Nicola and the Beckhams representatives for comment. Insiders previously told Daily Mail that Brooklyn's parents are concerned his wife Nicola holds disproportionate sway in her marriage to their son. They said: 'They think Nicola is a bit of a horror but she isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Nicola loves having Brooklyn at her side and she loves him very much. But he is also very useful. 'The wider Beckham family and Brooklyn's friends – many of whom he no longer sees – take the view that he does what Nicola wants. From Beckhams' point of view, it's not nice to watch.' Brooklyn and Nicola's vow renewal was a glamorous affair packed with family, fashion and friends earlier this month. As more pictures of both the big day and the after-party come to light, it is becoming increasingly more apparent that the festivities were fairly one-sided - with most of the guestlist comprising Brooklyn's post-Nicola peers and pals. The lack of Brooklyn's side sparked widespread chat on social media, including comments from fans who likened their relationship to that of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle - after the royal turned his back on his family and moved to the US. When Brooklyn and Nicola first tied the knot in 2022, they hosted a three-day Palm Beach extravaganza, which saw 500 guests party in no-expense-spared marquees in front of the ocean - where both families stood front and centre . Fast- forward three years and the change is remarkable, with no sign of the Beckham parents or the siblings Brooklyn held so close to his heart. In their place is the entirety of the Peltz clan - with Nicola's mother Claudia, 70, and her father Nelson, 83, holding all-star roles on the day. At the 2022 festivities, during the Hora - also known as the Jewish wedding chair dance - where the bride and groom are lifted on chairs while guests dance around them in a circle, David was also lifted up on a seat. Brooklyn's brothers acted as his Dior-clad groomsmen at the event although their positions have officially been occupied by the in-laws. Nicola has six brothers, all of whom Brooklyn is fond however he is very close to her brother Diesel, who introduced him to his bride. As well as swapping siblings, it has also been revealed that Brooklyn has shunned some of his old friends - as illustrated by his wedding pictures.

Tearful babysitter who sent girls to her boyfriend to molest gets 100 years to life behind bars
A babysitter who delivered little girls to her pedophile boyfriend to molest has been sentenced to 100 years to life in prison. Brittney Mae Lyon, 31, of San Diego, broke down in tears on hearing the news in court after pleading guilty in May to two counts of a lewd act upon a child and two counts of a forcible lewd act upon a child. She admitted further counts of kidnapping, residential burglary and sexually assaulting multiple victims. Lyon advertised her babysitting services online - with a particular interest in working with special needs children - and earned the trust of parents who left their kids in her care. But in reality she was sexually abusing the little girls and providing them to her boyfriend Samuel Cabrera, 31, who would film himself molesting them. The victims were aged between three and seven and some were autistic and non-verbal. The abuse came to light in 2016 when a seven-year-old girl told her mother she no longer wanted to be near Lyon, a long-time friend of the family who had acted as a sitter. The girl told her mom about the abuse who went to the police, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. An investigation led Carlsbad police to Cabrera, then 22, and both he and Lyon were arrested. A search of Cabrera's car uncovered a double-locked box containing six computer hard drives with hundreds of videos of him abusing victims. Some of the victims in the videos were drugged and the clips were often filmed with multiple cameras to capture different angles, prosecutors said. The horrifying tapes featured multiple unknown victims, prompting an investigation to track down other families who had hired Lyon as a babysitter. Parents of three of the victims had met Lyon through a babysitting website where she had 'touted her interest in working with special needs children,' according to the San Diego County District Attorney's Office. One mother saw a news story about Lyon and Cabrera's awful crimes and reached out to police, only to learn her own three-year-old was among the victims filmed being abused by the twisted couple. Another victim was a developmentally delayed seven-year-old with autism, who could not dress or bathe herself or speak. Lyon and Cabrera met in high school and he initially convinced her to secretly record women getting changed in dressing rooms and gym locker rooms, prosecutors said. Then, the pedophile asked Lyon to bring children in her care to his home - where she participated in some of the abuse, according to prosecutors. Cabrera went on trial in 2019 charged with 35 felonies, including multiple counts involving child molestation, kidnapping, burglary and conspiracy. It took a North County jury just two hours to convict him on all charges. He was sentenced to eight terms of life in prison without the possibility of parole and 300 additional years. Lyon's case was stalled by Covid courtroom closures and by changes of attorneys. She has been represented by three different defense attorneys over the past nine years: a public defender, then private counsel and then another public defender. At her sentencing inside the Vista Courthouse in San Diego Thursday, the babysitter's defense attorney read a statement on her behalf. 'For nine years, I've thought about what I would say today. I've come to the conclusion that there are no words that would make any of the harm and trauma I've caused any better,' the statement read. 'The words "I'm sorry" are far too simple for the amount of trauma I've caused and the amount of regret that I feel.' Parents of the victims also spoke in court on Thursday. One mother said Lyon 'used her credentials' - such as studying child development - 'to lull us into a state of comfort so we didn't feel like we had to ask a lot of questions about what Brittany did with our daughter when they were together.' What the mother thought was a special trip for their daughter to play places she later learned were 'molestation sessions,' she said. Cabrera is not eligible for parole, but Lyon - who was sentenced to 100 years to life - is. This means it is possible she could be released after serving just a third of her sentence. Some of the victims' parents slammed the possibility that she could be freed in future. 'It's a slap in the face to drag us through this field of broken glass for 10 years only to give Brittney a break,' one mother said. A California law change now allows for 'elder parole' in which inmates who have served at least 20 years of their sentence can petition for a parole hearing when they turn 50. While legislative efforts to exclude sex offenders from this rule have stalled, the San Diego County District Attorney's Office has continued to push for the change. 'The age of 50 is hardly "elderly," particularly in the realm of child molesters, who need only be in a position of trust and power to access and sexually abuse children,' District Attorney Summer Stephan said in a news release in reference to Lyon's sentencing.

Elizabeth Hurley reveals Billy Ray Cyrus is teaching her how to play the guitar
and her beau Billy Ray Cyrus seem to be getting closer and closer after going public with their relationship at Easter. On Friday, the actress, 60, her musician boyfriend, 63, has been teaching her how to play the guitar. Dressed in a white gown, adorned with lace, Elizabeth shared a snap of herself clutching onto an acoustic guitar with the caption: 'My patient boyfriend is attempting to teach me the guitar ❤️❤️❤️ (and yes, he's going to replace the missing string) ❤️❤️❤️.' Billy posted in the comments section and on his own stories, writing: 'My girl is getting good on that guitar. ❤️ Definitely doing my June. We be going to Jackson this fall!!!!' He then added: '@elizabethhurley is hotter than a pepper sprout!' It comes after the country music singer has been writing 'sexy' love songs about his new flame. A source told the Daily Mail: 'His next album will include songs that are about Elizabeth for sure, he is definitely smitten with his new love and she has become his muse. 'Billy is always working on new music, but lately he has been doing even more love songs and it's clear why. He is very happy with Elizabeth, she is motivating him in a very big way. The songs are all about how she "heals" him and how sexy she is.' Billy Ray has also been teaching Elizabeth how to sing like a country songbird. The source added: 'He feels she can sing, that singing is in her future, and maybe even a duet with him.' Elizabeth has sung in a movie before, with pal Patsy Kensit in the 1990 film Kill Cruise, where they performed the song You're Leaving Me. She has appeared in music videos too, for Bryan Adams's song Never Let You Go and Adele's Send My Love (To Your New Lover). They met while filming 2022's Christmas In Paradise. In a clip from The Ty Bentli Show, Billy Ray said: 'We did very few scenes together but the couple times we were in the same scene there was a chemistry there. We just laughed, and it was at a time I wasn't laughing a lot. 'The oddest part was first, how much we laughed. Second, I figured we were so different but in some very strange way we had way more in common than we had different. 'If all we ever were is the friends that we are, I would take that. She's so impressively brilliant. She reminds me a lot of Dolly Parton. She's a very smart businesswoman. 'If you can laugh together, you can make it through everything.' While the pair met on the movie set, they didn't speak to each other for two years afterward. But Elizabeth re-entered the his life when he needed a friend, following his split from wife Firerose. He revealed: 'I felt like, "Wow, can life get any harder? Can it get any tougher?" For me, at a certain point it was like, you can't get knocked down any flatter than laying on your back when life is kicking you. And in this moment... a friend reached out.' Billy didn't recognize the number at first, so he texted Elizabeth back. He recalled: 'I text back, I go, "Who is this?" And it's like, "Elizabeth Hurley". Of all the people to reach out to me in that second that maybe I needed most... this friend who made me laugh.'
