And an insider has told The Sun: “Annie gave birth earlier this week and is doing well. Mum and baby are both happy and healthy. Kyle couldn’t be happier and is so proud of Annie.

“It has not been an easy few months for them but Kyle is doing everything he can to support Annie. They are focusing on the baby now and are looking forward to introducing them to their three boys. It is a very special time and they are relishing every second.”

The new addition marks Kyle’s sixth child. In 2019, he welcomed son Kairo following a fling with Lauryn while he was separated from Annie. Earlier this year, Lauryn revealed that Kyle was also the father of her second child, conceived while he was married to Annie.

Lauryn disclosed that she personally informed Annie of the affair during the Christmas holiday while Kyle was away playing a game against rival team Everton. She clarified that her intention was not to break up Kyle’s marriage but rather to hold him accountable for their two children.

Despite the difficult situation, he emphasized the importance of owning up to his mistakes for the sake of everyone involved.

Kyle Walker Apologizes to Wife Annie Kilner After Fathering Two Children With Lauryn Goodman

Kyle Walker has apologized to his pregnant wife and said that he needs to “own up to my mistakes” after fathering two children with another woman.

Manchester City and England defender Kyle Walker, aged 33, has been married to Annie Kilner since 2022. Their relationship began over a decade ago when Walker was just 17 years old. Together, they have three children, with a fourth child on the way.

However, Walker’s personal life became tabloid fodder when it was revealed that he had fathered two children with model and influencer Lauryn Goodman while still married to Kilner. Initially, Kilner forgave Walker after learning about his affair with Goodman. However, she ultimately decided to leave him upon discovering that the affair had persisted, resulting in the birth of another child with Goodman.

Presently, Kilner is living with their three children, while Walker is residing separately. In an interview with The Sun newspaper, Walker expressed deep remorse for his actions, acknowledging the pain he caused and taking full responsibility for his behavior.

“I made idiot choices and idiot decisions. I can’t begin to think or imagine what Annie is going through. I’ve tried to ask her but there’s pain and hurt.

“The man that’s meant to love, care and be there for her, did this.

“There have been days in this ordeal where I’ve just wanted to curl up in a ball and go to sleep.

“The only person to blame is me. I have roles and responsibilities that I’m aware of and I’ve made stupid choices. But I need to own up to my mistakes — I owe it to everyone.

“My actions have caused a lot of pain to a lot of people. I’m sorry because, as a family, this isn’t meant to happen.”

Walker claimed that he was speaking out for the sake of his family.

He added: “I am a private man but I accept that I am a public figure and I need to address what I’ve done.

“It hasn’t helped that it has been played out in the media. But I’ve chosen to speak now in the hope that I can at least explain myself and enable my wife and children to have the privacy they so desperately need and deserve.”

Manchester City has not issued any official statements regarding Walker’s interview with The Sun. Despite the personal turmoil, Walker has maintained his role as City’s captain since August and has been a consistent starter in all 20 of their Premier League matches this season. His contributions were significant in Manchester City’s successes last season, where they secured victories in the Premier League, FA Cup, and UEFA Champions League.

“In football I’ve achieved more than what I ever thought I would achieve,” said Walker. “But to personally hurt what I truly believe is my best friend, that’s what hurts a lot.

“How could I hurt someone I love so much? That’s something I need to find in myself.”

This is not the first time that Walker has apologized via the media for making bad “choices”.

In 2020, reports surfaced alleging that Walker had violated the UK’s coronavirus lockdown regulations by hosting a gathering involving two sex workers. Responding to these allegations, Walker issued a public apology via a statement sent to CNN, expressing remorse for the decisions he made that led to the tabloid newspaper story about his private life.

“I understand that my position as a professional footballer brings the responsibility of being a role model. As such, I want to apologise to my family, friends, football club, supporters and the public for letting them down.”
