Kyle Walker revealed why Lauryn Goodman really ran to tell his estranged wife Annie Kilner about him fathering her second child behind his back.
Heartbroken Annie, who the Manchester City footballer met when he was 17, announced she had split from her husband earlier this month before reports emerged that he had fathered a second child with reality star Lauryn, who he had previously fathered a son with back in 2019.
The 33-year-old had been trying to get his life back on track but after headlines about his latest infidelity, the England player sat down for an emotional interview to apologise for betraying his childhood sweetheart Annie. He shared his regrets as he slammed his "idiot choices and idiot decisions."
Kyle also opened up about his mistress Lauryn telling Annie about her second child. He said Lauryn learning about Annie's pregnancy was the "straw that broke the camel's back." It was only recently revealed that Kyle and Annie are expecting their fourth child. Kyle and Annie tied the knot in December 2021 and have three young sons together, Riaan, Roman and Reign.
One day after Boxing Day, Lauryn took to Instagram to send Annie a message. She wrote to her: "I don’t have two baby daddies — I have one." Lauryn also shared a picture of Kyle on a playdate with Lauryn and their two children at a park.
Walker hints at Guardiola contribution to Haaland's Man City strugglesThe defender says Lauryn decided to get in touch with Annie - despite his protests - after learning some new information about their family life.
Kyle explained to The Sun : “I knew something was coming when I landed back from the Club World Cup before Christmas because I had a conversation with Lauryn. She was screaming down the phone, saying Annie’s pregnant. I said she wasn’t. It was none of her business."
Walker then says he had to pretend he wasn't having another child with his long-term partner to try and keep Lauryn quiet. "I felt I had to lie to her because I knew if I told her the truth it was going to blow. The pregnancy was the straw that broke the camel’s back," he added. Kyle only learned about Lauryn's pregnancy in early November of that year after she called him while he was at the training ground.
In August 2022, Lauryn announced she was planning to move from Brighton to near Kyle's family home. Kyle is said to have met her at a solicitors' office in an attempt to stop the move, where he then met his son, Kairo for the first time. He continued being in contact with Lauryn without Annie's knowledge and in late 2022, Kyle travelled to London for groin surgery and met the mother of his son. After this encounter, he found out Lauryn was pregnant again.
Earlier this month, Annie announced she had split from her husband. She wrote on Instagram : “Sadly, after many years of marriage and three wonderful children together, I have decided to take some time away from Kyle. I do not wish to comment on the position any further.”
