Kyle Walker says Annie finding out about second love child was 'like a slow death'

Kyle Walker has said waiting for wife Annie Kilner to learn about his second love child was 'like a slow death'.

The Manchester City star recently broke his silence about fathering two children with reality star Lauryn Goodman. He apologised to Annie - whom he met when he was a teenager - for betraying her. He also shared his regrets as he denounced his "idiot choices and idiot decisions."

Earlier this month, Annie, 30, took to social media to announce she had split from the England football player. It came weeks after Lauryn, 33, contacted Annie to tell her about the 33-year-old footballer's secret love child. According to Kyle, Lauryn contacted his wife after finding out about Annie's pregnancy.

In the interview, he discussed the painful consequences of his actions and whether he regrets not telling Annie about the second child.

"I do and I don’t regret it," he said to The Sun about not telling Annie about Lauryn and the second baby. "I regret not telling her because she had a right to know and that’s the least I owe my best friend. I don’t regret it selfishly because I got to spend days with my children.

The player and Lauryn already had a son, Kairo, three, born following a brief relationship when the ­footballer had split from childhood ­sweetheart Annie. England defender Walker and pregnant Annie, who already has three sons with the star, announced their split earlier this month.

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.” After news of his extra-curricular activities came out, the football star publicly apologised for it, writing: “Annie is an amazing woman and I can only apologise for the upset I’ve caused her. She’s been part of my life for so long and that will never change for the sake of our children.”

Earlier this month, Lauryn claimed he was leading a secret double life and said she wanted to reveal the truth so that they could "all live their lives like adults." She said to The Sun: "I kept saying to Kyle, ‘You need to tell her. You need to tell Annie that you are our daughter’s father and you are having a relationship with your children.

“‘We need to start 2024 out in an open way. If everyone knows where they stand they can make their own adult choices in life’. I didn’t want to cause any more heartache for Annie or be a b***h but I had to tell her because Kyle was too weak to do it. Kyle was happy hiding the truth because he had two families and was scared about what would happen when Annie knew."
