LIZZIE CUNDY:
As Kyle Walker’s grovelling interview adds fuel to the fire, Lizzie Cundy tells Closer why she thinks he’ll end up with Lauryn Goodman
EXCLUSIVE!
After giving minimal response to the headlines about his tempestuous love life, Kyle Walker publicly confessed last week to betraying his “soulmate and best friend”, estranged wife Annie Kilner, by fathering a second child with Lauryn Goodman.
The couple – who share three sons, Roman, Riaan and Reign and have a fourth child on the way – are childhood sweethearts and tied the knot in November 2021. But the year prior, their relationship was rocked when it emerged that Manchester City footballer Kyle had fathered a son, Kairo, with model Lauryn. Annie, 31, and Kyle were separated at the time and she chose to forgive him for the sake of their children, but last month she announced their separation amid extensive reports that Kyle had fathered a second child, a secret daughter, with Lauryn.

From there, a case of tit-for-tat ensued on social media between Lauryn –the older sister of former Ex On The Beach star Chloe –and Annie’s sister Sian. After sharing a thinly veiled dig about “pathological narcissists”, Lauryn followed it up with what was widely believed to be a retort to Kyle’s coffee swipe. “Flat white no sugars please,” she wrote.
Sian, who has rarely commented on Annie’s relationship, hit back at Lauryn in a seething comment and shut down her claims she and Kyle had been in a “loving relationship”.
Tagging Lauryn’s Instagram handle, Sian wrote, “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?
