MAN City star Kyle Walker allegedly begged his lover Lauryn Goodman to be his “little secret” behind the back of his long-suffering wife Annie Kilner.

The footballer thought he could “juggle two families” before his infidelity was exposed, a friend of Lauryn claims. The pal said: “Kyle believed that he could have two families and Annie would be none the wiser. He just wanted to have his cake and eat it.”

Kyle admitted yesterday he had failed to tell his wife that Lauryn, 33, was pregnant with their second child.

Instead, Annie found out only recently after Lauryn told her via Instagram.

Kyle, 33, had three children with Annie when Lauryn gave birth to their son in 2020. He had a daughter with Lauryn last year.

Kyle’s camp yesterday accused Lauryn of obsessive behaviour, claiming she had been “goading” Kyle and Annie, 30, online.

They claim that Kyle and Lauryn slept together only on “fleeting” occasions, and that there had been no proper relationsh­ip.

A source said: “Lauryn even set up paparazzi pictures of her looking to buy a house a mile away from Kyle’s home with him and Annie. She is obsessed and regularly posts messages on social media to goad them both.”

Last night, a spokeswoma­n for Kyle said: “Kyle has spoken fully and honestly about his mistakes and the true situation involving Lauryn. He has instructed lawyers and will not be making any further comment on

the wild and untrue stories that she is promoting in the media in search of self publicity and financial gain.”

Lauryn’s spokesman said: “While she does not want to get into the details of everything he has said at this stage, she is disappoint­ed by his deluded version of events, which is dramatical­ly different to her own recollecti­on of their long-standing, intimate, loving and affectiona­te relationsh­ip.

“Having read back through many years of messages sent between them to assure herself that her memory is accurate, she is confused as to how he has seemingly forgotten their many highly personal conversati­ons and memories made with their children as a family.

“The story that he is putting out to the public is not the reality.

“He is using his wealth and influence as a high-level footballer to hire a major PR firm and conduct interviews depicting a narrative which is simply untrue.”

In 2020, Kyle was forced to apologise after it was widely reported that he held a lockdown breaking party at his Cheshire home.

The club promised he would be subject to an “internal disciplina­ry procedure”.

He told BBC Radio 5 Live at the time: “I reflect on, you know, my decision making.

“It was bad decisions from me at an important time for the country and the world. I take full responsibi­lity for that, but I’m moving on now.”

He and wife Annie are currently spending some time apart.
