TYPE According to Lauryn Goodman, there was a horrifying moment when she told Annie, the wife of Kyle Walker, that he had surreptitiously fathered a second kid with her.
She took matters into her own hands after months of imploring the Man City ace to divulge his secret double life — seeing his youngest son and infant daughter in trips that he disguised from his long-suffering wife.

After so many wrongs, Lauryn claimed in an exclusive interview with The Sun on Sunday that she decided she had to tell Annie the truth so they could all “live their lives like adults.”
The 32-year-old, fighting back tears, remarked, “I kept telling Kyle that you need to tell her.
“You have to let Annie know that you are our daughter’s father and that you are interacting with your kids.”
“We must embark on 2024 with an open mind. Everyone may make their own mature decisions in life provided they are aware of where they stand.
“I didn’t want to be a bitch or give Annie any more grief, but I had to tell her since Kyle wasn’t well enough to handle it.
“Our daughter was the subject of impending hearings, a flurry of paperwork, and court appearances; Annie needed the truth before anything became public.”
“Our daughter can’t be a secret because she is a human, but Kyle was comfortable hiding the truth because he liked having two families and worried about what would happen when Annie found out.
“It had to be in the open for the sake of all of us; I didn’t want them to break up or hurt each other.
“I told Annie, and she was cool and collected.”
After two years of marriage, Annie revealed last week that she and 33-year-old England defender Kyle were divorcing.

Even though Lauryn never disclosed the father’s identity, it was ultimately verified, hours later, that she and Kyle had welcomed a baby girl last summer.
After a brief relationship during which the football player separated from his childhood girlfriend Annie, they already had a three-year-old kid named Kairo.
However, their infant daughter—who is around six months old now—was conceived during his marriage to Annie.
After getting married in 2021 and having three sons together, Kyle and Annie are currently living apart.
He has relocated to an apartment close to the Prestbury, Cheshire, home of the family.
Brighton resident Lauryn stated: “It reached a boiling point on December 23rd.”
Lauryn says she showed Annie a DNA test to prove Kyle’s paternity to her children
“Earlier that month, Kyle and I had a legal meeting, and I was aware that he was lying to both her and me.
“Things were good with me when they were bad with her, and bad with her when they were good.” He had two lives, so he played us off.
That evening, he expressed his desire to FaceTime me on Christmas Day, but I declined, saying the situation was too toxic. I blocked him because I needed him to quit gaslighting me.
“I knew he was abroad playing, so the day after Boxing Day, I had someone message Annie so I could speak with her and tell her in private that Kyle was the father of my kid.
“I had a feeling and was telling my friends that she was his daughter,” she confided in me. They said she was insane. “That’s not very nice,” I remarked.
“Kyle had repeatedly denied that she was his daughter. It makes sense that Annie wouldn’t have wanted to assume it was real.
“I showed her the results of the DNA test since she kept asking for evidence, but she wasn’t convinced until I mentioned my daughter’s name on the documents.
“My daughter was present when Annie and I later FaceTimed.”
The women realized that the former Spurs star had misled them both while they conversed.
She was asking a lot of questions, according to Lauryn. “I don’t want to hurt you,” I told her, but she insisted on seeing pictures and asking questions.
“I showed her the picture of Kairo and Kyle together while playing football. I’m aware that he has pictures of our children up at Manchester City because I’ve had numerous meetings with him since Kairo was born. He’s had a meeting with his daughter.
She continued, saying, “I told Annie that I would always talk to you first and that’s what I’m doing here. I’m not going to do anything else. I just don’t want my daughter being a secret’.
She was attempting to put everything together. She claimed she couldn’t figure out how Kyle did it because he would go home at night.
But because he doesn’t have many days off, I had always traveled up to Manchester to see Kairo. I would usually go somewhere close to training.
Lauryn claims that as they attended legal meetings to talk about Kairo, she and Kyle became closer once more.
She acknowledges, “It clicked.” We returned to our previous state of existence.
Annie and Kyle’s separate statements left Lauryn feeling she had to speak out

She recalled traveling to a farm in Cheshire where he was tending the animals with Kairo, just like all the other dads, and that they would even go on family days out.
He attempted to manipulate me as well, so I followed his instructions. He would often use FaceTime. “Are you free, are you free?” would be his incessant message while he was playing for England or in the World Cup.
As time passed, I came to understand that we were a secret family. And that was his desire.
His England teammates knew who I was; they would answer the phone when he FaceTimed me.
“He assured Kairo over the phone that he would bring a football back from the World Cup. He did, in fact, hit one of the real balls.
“Kyle also purchased the blue Man City uniform he’s wearing, which has the word “Daddy” on the back.”
Lauryn was seen getting ready to board her vacation flight at Gatwick airport yesterday with her two kids.
She had a bag with her son Kairo Walker’s initials, KW, and was pictured looking at ease in a crop top and black leggings.
She’d had her conversation with Annie before making her escape.
“I apologized and said I was sorry, but I also said, ‘Obviously there has been bad blood between us,’” the woman continued. I informed her that I didn’t want to be the one conducting this conversation and telling her this myself. He ought to have done it, I remarked.
However, Annie’s remark and Kyle’s later statement, which omitted any reference to his son and daughter with Lauryn, prompted her to speak up.
“Annie is an amazing woman and I can only apologise for the upset I’ve caused her,” Kyle stated on Friday.
For the sake of our kids, she has been a part of my life for a very long time, and that won’t change.
“As we navigate these trying times, I would ask for privacy for our entire family, especially our young children.”
Lauryn, however, stated: “I promised Annie that I would keep it quiet, but after what they did, it is now impossible, so I must speak out.”
“He did not say all of’my’ children, but rather ‘our’ children in his remark. They made this public.
“Kyle missed the opportunity to include all of his children in this. He is concerned about himself, not about his children.
“I don’t hold myself responsible for their marriage disintegrating; other women have come forward to inform me that they had dated Kyle as well.
Yes, I should never have gotten into a relationship or had sex with a married man, but he also lied to me.
“He told me it’s not as it seems, believe me, when it was reported in the Press that he had gotten married.
He was able to deceive me into feeling secure. He painted for me an entirely false and distorted picture of his life.
Lauryn is still unsure of her son’s and daughter’s future.
“I can only try to be the best parent I can be,” she continued.
Kairo needs his father in his life, and that has always been my wish. Which mother wouldn’t? And I wish my daughter the same thing.
“I wanted everything between Annie, him, and myself to be transparent and honest, and it is.
“He has consistently expressed to me his desire to have a relationship with each of his children, but I’m not sure if his statements were true or false these days.”
