Kyle Walker speaks of pain of not kissing kids to sleep after marriage split
Kyle Walker has opened up about how his split from childhood sweetheart is impacting him as a father.
The soon-to-be dad-of-six, 33, shares three children with his estranged wife Annie Kilner, with a fourth child due to arrive later this year. However, following Kyle's affairs - including fathering two children with Lauryn Goodman - the Manchester City ace is no longer living the family home.
Annie announced her split from the footballer earlier this month, with the news the WAG is pregnant with her fourth child becoming public knowledge shortly after her bombshell statement. It's thought long-suffering Annie finally called time on her marriage over the festive period, after discovering her husband welcomed a second child into the world with Instagram model Lauryn.
Kyle, who claims he never had a relationship with Lauryn, has now spoken at length about his dramas off the football pitch and admitted it's tough living away from three of his five children.

The Manchester City right-back is also father to Lauryn Goodman's two children (lauryngoodman91/Instagram)Annie announced her split from Kyle on January 10th, telling her Instagram followers: "I am posting this in response to growing recent media enquiries about my marriage to Kyle and in an effort to protect my family against the intensity of the media spotlight. Sadly, after many years of marriage and three wonderful children together; I have decided to take some time away from Kyle."

It was then revealed that Kyle, who shares young children Riaan, Roman and Reign with pregnant Annie, was no longer living at the family's sprawling £2.5million property in Cheshire, with it claimed the right-back had moved into rented accommodation following the split.
Speaking in a new interview over the weekend, Kyle's voice broke as he discussed the reality of no longer living with his wife and their three children. "My little boy goes to sleep with me every night and to not have him . . . I’m used to being away for long periods of time with England," he told The Sun. "We say goodnight on FaceTime. But to know that I’m not with him because of my mistake — mistake is probably the wrong word, my choices — that’s what pains me."
Elsewhere in the brutally honest interview, Kyle took several swipes at Instagram star Lauryn - denying ever having an emotional relationship with the mother of two of his children. The professional footballer and Lauryn became parents together for the first time when Lauryn gave birth to Kairo Walker in 2020. In August last year, Lauryn gave birth to a baby girl, but decided not to reveal the identity of the father immediately, only hinting that her baby's initials were K.W. After weeks of speculation, Kyle has finally revealed himself as the father of both of Lauryn's young children.
However, despite sharing two children with the Instagram model, Kyle seemingly claims their relationship never went beyond sex - bizarrely stating that in addition to never taking Lauryn to the cinema or out for food, the mum-of-two doesn't even know his coffee order.
Kyle and Lauryn conceived their second child together in early October 2022, when Kyle was in London for groin surgery. He recalls how Lauryn broke the news of her pregnancy to him later that month and admits to "nearly fainting" upon discovering his extra marital affair had led to another pregnancy.
Lauryn hit back at Kyle's comments on Monday morning and took to her Instagram Stories to share a couple of cryptic posts hours on from her baby daddy's bombshell interview. The mum-of-two shared a post about pathological narcissists before shutting down Kyle's claim that she doesn't know how he takes his coffee - revealing the 33-year-old is fond of a flat white when it comes to getting his caffeine fix.
Kyle, who met estranged wife Annie in their hometown of Sheffield when he was 17 and she 15, first broke his silence on his marriage split on 12th January - two days on from Annie's announcement. The sports star told fans in an Instagram post: "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. I would ask for privacy for all of our family, and especially our young children, whilst we work through these difficult times."
