Kyle Walker's romance timeline from second love child to sister's fierce defence
Kyle Walker has shared his regrets after betraying his wife Annie Kilner and fathering a second child with model Lauryn Goodman.
The Manchester City star, 33, recently broke his silence and denounced his "idiot choices and idiot decisions" after having a secret love child with Lauryn. It comes after his childhood sweetheart Annie, who is mum to three of Kyle's kids, confirmed she is pregnant with their fourth child.
The pair announced earlier this month they had decided to hit pause on their relationship. Annie revealed she was "taking time away" from their union, which came after the England player issued a grovelling apology. In a new interview, Kyle discussed the painful consequences of his actions.
"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 temporarily separated from Annie. Over the past decade, Kyle has notoriously been involved in several scandals, including claims he cheated on Annie with a reality TV star. In light of their complicated split, we take a look at Kyle's romance timeline.

Sister support
Annie Kilner's younger sister Sian paid a moving tribute to the pregnant mother after Kyle Walker and Lauryn Goodman exchanged public jibes over their affair.
Following a day of heartache for pregnant Annie, the mum's younger sister Sian took to social media in a moving show of solidarity. Sian posted a picture of her and Annie holding hands as they stood next to each other watching the sunset in bikinis.
"A queen doesn’t let her crown slip," wrote Sian in the caption.

Earlier, Sian broke her silence and slammed Lauryn for 'tormenting' their family with her 'cruelty'. Lauryn claimed that she and Kyle were in a "loving" but secret relationship, despite friends of Walker telling the Mirror that this was far from the truth. Lauryn has a "dramatically different" recollection to Kyle, according to her spokesperson.
Lauryn has alleged that they had a secret relationship while he was supposedly living a double life. However, Kyle claimed they never had a relationship - arguing that Lauryn has no idea how he takes his coffee and claiming they have never been to the cinema or out for food together.
While Annie remained silent while her personal life was brought under the glaring eye once again, Sian didn't hold back. In a statement shared on Instagram, Sian, who rarely comments on her famous sibling and brother-in-law didn't hold back. She said: "@lauryngoodman91 When does your torment end? My sister who is now 7 months pregnant, has faced your cruelty for almost 5 years now.
"What's your goal? To see how much stress you can put on a pregnant woman? To create a false victim narrative around what you did? You clearly lack empathy but this level of evil is out of control and harms everyone – especially the children. Stop accusing others: your true self is revealed. The so-called 'loving relationship' is a facade... It's not fooling anyone so why don't you just give us all a break and stop? Also, He has one sugar, Nestle Coffee Mate and semi-skimmed milk. But that's the coffee you get at home... Not the ones in hotels or Air B&BS."
Childhood sweethearts
Kyle and Annie met when they were teenagers and married in November 2021 after his alleged affairs (Instagram)Kyle and Annie first met in their hometown of Sheffield when she was 15 and he was 17. She previously revealed: "When we started going out it was love at first sight." Annie describes herself as a 'mummy to three kings' on Instagram and has made several TV appearances. In 2013, she was signed to Mode Model Management and starred in episodes of The Real Housewives of Cheshire. Upon her arrival on the show, RHOC star Tanya Bardsley said: "Annie is beautiful and very, very young."
Kyle and Annie have three sons together, Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, and Reign, five, but not much is known about them as they are kept out of the spotlight.

Fathering son with model
Kyle has been accused of infidelity multiple times over the years. In April 2019, he and Annie split up after Ex On The Beach Star Laura Brown claimed the pair had romped in the back of his car in March. When Annie demanded proof, Laura is said to have sent a selfie she had taken inside their family home. Kyle begged Annie to take him back, but by July, he had an alleged brief fling with model Lauryn and got her pregnant. Kyle and Annie's youngest son was one year old at the time.
Annie sadly revealed she had a miscarriage in 2020, and three months later, she discovered Lauryn was expecting Kyle's child. Annie described what Kyle had done as 'obscene'. In 2020, she said: "In late March last year he was unfaithful with a reality TV star. I found out a month later and was broken by it. He begged me to take him back but by July he was at it again. Not even three months later and someone was pregnant. My youngest was one. Who does that?"
Heartbroken Annie told The Sun at the time: "I don't know what my thoughts or feelings are any more. I feel dead inside." Lauryn welcomed baby boy Kairo into the world, meanwhile, Annie took Kyle back and the couple got married in November 2021. The footballer allegedly continued to see Lauryn behind her back and Lauryn later claimed she and Kyle rekindled their fling after meeting for legal reasons to discuss their son.

In August 2023, Lauryn gave birth to a daughter with 'another footballer' and did not publicly disclose her second child's name, other than hinting the initials were KW on Instagram. Then earlier this month, Kyle confirmed he was the father after Lauryn told of the exact moment she showed Annie a DNA test to prove it. She said the two women agreed to meet on a FaceTime call the day after Boxing Day, while Kyle was playing away with Man City.
Speaking on the scandal for the first time, Lauryn told The Sun : "Kyle was happy hiding the truth because he was having two families and was scared about what would happen when Annie knew but I kept saying to him, 'Our daughter can’t be a secret, she is a human'. I didn't want them to split up or cause harm but it had to be out in the open for all of our sakes." She said she showed Annie pictures of Kyle with their two children.
End of marriage
Annie has now kicked Kyle out of their mansion and is taking some 'time away' (Instagram)Kyle and Annie have reportedly not been together for the last five months. The star is now thought to have moved out and into a penthouse flat in Manchester city centre, after a string of 'blazing rows'. A source told MailOnline : "We don't see much of Kyle since she threw him out at the end of August. And one time after that they argued over the driveway security fence. He was trying to get back into his house but she wouldn't let him as she blocked and barricaded the driveway. She was really angry with him and called him all sorts of names."
Annie announced the split on social media this month and told her 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." She added: "I do not wish to comment on the position any further. For now, I ask that the privacy of myself and our three young children is respected during this difficult time."
In a statement shared to his Instagram page days after, Kyle broke his silence regarding the split and wrote: "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." Kyle is reportedly trying to rekindle his romance with Annie.
