Man City's Kyle Walker's romance timeline – 2nd love child with Lauryn Goodman to new baby with wife

Manchester City footballer Kyle Walker has certainly been busy both on and off the football pitch. He's fathered multiple children in the last few years all while keeping up a high-flying football career with his team winning the Premier League, and facing off against Manchester United this weekend for the FA Cup final.

Earlier this year it Kyle's wife Annie Kilner announced that she had split from Kyle, with reports later emerging that he had been unfaithful and fathered a second child with Lauryn Goodman, with whom he already shared son Kairo.

Following this, it was revealed that Annie was pregnant with her fourth child with Kyle, and the former couple welcomed a baby son in April.

Now we're taking a look at the ups and downs of Kyle's turbulent love life.

Childhood sweethearts

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." The pair tied the knot in 2022, following a 12-year relationship.

The couple share four sons together, Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, Reign, five, and Rezon, one month. Kyle and Annie are notoriously private about their children, rarely showing their faces on social media.

Annie has expressed her longing for a daughter to balance out the male-dominated household, previously telling OK!: "I really want a little girl. I love my boys, but I'd really like a daughter as I'm outnumbered in this house."

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 she had slept with Kyle. When Annie demanded proof, Laura is said to have sent a selfie she had taken inside their family home.

During this split, Kyle had a fling with Lauryn Goodman leading to the influencer falling pregnant. Back in 2020, Annie described what Kyle had done as 'obscene'.

At the time, she told The Sun: "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? I don't know what my thoughts or feelings are any more. I feel dead inside."

Lauryn later gave both to son Kairo, while, Annie took Kyle back and the couple tied the knot in 2022. However, it was quite the marriage bliss they might have expected, with Kyle later rekindling his romance with Lauryn while still married.

'Hiding from the truth'

Fast forward to August 2023 and Lauryn welcomes another baby - this time a girl whose father is another footballer, though she remains tight-lipped on his identity, sharing mere hints on Instagram using the initials 'KW'. And at the beginning of this year, Kyle admitted his paternity after Lauryn revealed the truth to Annie.

After the truth was revealed publicly, Lauryn opened up to The Sun, as she said: "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."

Marriage split

At the start of 2024, Annie revealed that she had split from Kyle and was 'taking a break' from their relationship. In a statement posted to her Instagram page, she wrote: "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. 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."

And posting to his own social media Kyle expressed his remorse over the situation, 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. I would ask for privacy for all of our family, and especially our young children, whilst we work through these difficult times."

A source recently told OK! that Kyle and Annie are still living separately as they "continue to work through their difficulties".
