Kyle Walker's alleged relationship with Lauryn Goodman was never real, sources close to the footballer claim.

In recent days, Lauryn has opened up about their rumoured romance and insisted that she and Kyle were a proper family unit for their two children. The Manchester City FC had brief encounters with Lauryn behind the back of his supportive wife Annie Kilner over some time.

Lauryn welcomed her first child, Kairo, in 2020 following an encounter with Kyle, 33, which rocked his marriage to teenage sweetheart Annie. Ultimately, she decided to stay with Kyle and support him, while acknowledging his wrongdoing. Then in August 2023, Lauryn gave birth to a daughter but refused to discuss the identity of her dad and insisted it was private.

This all changed over Christmas when the she sent Annie a message, revealing Kyle to be the dad. In a new interview, Lauryn claimed that she and her children enjoyed days out with Kyle and they had a secret relationship.

But a friend of Kyle has slammed Lauryn's claims and claimed there was never a relationship: "Kyle is very much in the wrong with his escapades.... there wasn't a relationship with Lauryn at all." But a friend of Lauryn hit back, saying: "He was a willing and enthusiastic participant."

She alleges that the pair grew close following a string of legal meetings over their children and that Kyle was "living a secret life". Lauryn went on to tell The Sun that she didn't want to "split up or cause harm" to Annie and Kyle's marriage.

Since the news of Kyle fathering a second child with Lauryn, his wife Annie had remained strong and not spoken publicly, only to confirm the couple have now separated. Lauryn claims she was forced to come clean to Annie so they could move on "as adults" after Kyle was "too weak" to come clean. She says she waited till she knew Kyle was playing away with Manchester City after Christmas and seized the opportunity to speak to Annie.

Having contacted Annie on December 27, Lauryn told The Sun: "I don't think Annie wanted to believe it was true, which is understandable. She kept asking for proof so I showed her the DNA test but even then she doubted it was real until I pointed out my daughter's name on the paperwork."

Earlier this week, the Mirror confirmed that Annie was expecting her fourth child with Kyle following days of speculation. A source explained that it was a "dream" for the model who wanted more children. The former couple met when she was 15 and he was 17 in their hometown of Sheffield, South Yorks, and instantly fell in love. Since their first meeting, they went on to become the ultimate "IT couple".

The Mirror has reached out to Lauryn's reps for comment.
