CAN YOU EVER REALLY FORGIVE WHEN A PARTNER CHEATS?
Over the past few weeks, England and Manchester City footballer player Kyle Walker’s cheating on his wife Annie Kilner, 30, has regularly made the headlines. It’s come to light that he fathered two children – a three-year-old son and six-month-old daughter – with his on/off lover, influencer Lauryn Goodman, 32.
Kyle, 33, was first caught out when reality star Laura Brown claimed she had X-rated romps in the back of his Bentley in May 2019. He and Annie split and in July of the same year he had a fling with Lauryn, resulting in their son, Kairo. He was also caught arranging a hook-up with two escorts during lockdown in 2020 while the couple were separated.
Annie forgave him and in 2021 the couple got married. But last year, he was caught getting cosy with a woman in a bar.
But after hearing about him fathering a second love child with Lauryn, it’s been reported that Annie, who has three sons with Kyle – Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, and Reign, five, and is said to be pregnant with his fourth child – finally cracked, and sources say there’s no way back for the couple. Closer speaks to one woman who endured numerous infidelities by her husband before she finally ended it – and has never looked back…
Sonali, 35, is a holistic fertility therapist who lives in the Cotswolds. She says she has thrived since ending her relationship with her cheating husband. Sonali says, “I read with horror about what Annie Kilner has been through but was also full of admiration for how dignified she’s stayed. I’m sure some women will wonder why she stayed for so long – but I know only too well how soul destroying being with a cheat can be and how your confidence can be at rock bottom after you’ve been repeatedly cheated on. I don’t think you can ever really move on when a partner cheats. When the trust is gone, it’s gone.
“Like Annie, I met my ex-husband when I was a teenager too. I was 19 and bowled over by John*. For 18 months I thought we were blissfully happy but then he let slip that he’d kissed someone at a work event.
I didn’t know how to handle it so I stayed quiet. But a few weeks later we had an argument and I confronted him and ended the relationship.
“I look back now and wish so much that had been the final chapter in our story. But over the next couple of years all the men I’d dated left me and there was John waiting in the wings, promising me he’d never cheat again – and I allowed myself to believe him. If only I could go back and tell my 23-year-old self that it’s worth waiting and there’s nothing wrong with being single.
SINKING FEELING
