Kyle Walker hid from his wife that he had a second child with Lauryn Goodman

Model Lauryn Goodman claims she had to tell footballer Kyle Walker's wife Annie he was "having a second child with her" because he was "too weak" to do so.

This week, Kyle Walker and his wife Annie Kilner confirmed they are splitting up as reports emerged that he allegedly fathered a second child with 32-year-old Lauryn Goodman.

Lauryn now claims she had to tell Annie about their daughter herself after months of "begging" the Man City star to open up about her double life.

Lauryn told The Sun: "I didn't want to cause Annie any more pain or be biased, but I had to tell her because Kyle was too weak to do it.

"Kyle was happy to hide the truth because he had two families and he was afraid of what would happen when Annie found out, but I kept telling him, 'Our daughter can't be a secret, she's human.'

The influencer also claimed that the footballer led a double life, spending time with her and their two children before going home to his wife and their three sons.

"When things were good with her, they were bad with me, and when things were bad with her, they were good with me. He played us, he had two lives," she added.

Lauryn went on to say that she confessed to Annie during the holiday season and that she never intended to cause Kyle and his wife to split up. She claims that when she told Annie the truth, she was "cool and calm".

The Manchester City footballer, 33, and Annie, 30, announced they were ending their two-year marriage, posting a joint statement on their Instagram page on January 10.

During their time together, the couple were dogged by rumors of Kyle's infidelity, with model Lauryn claiming he was the father of her three-year-old son Cairo.

Lauryn now also insists that Kyle is the father of her almost six-month-old daughter, who they conceived while he was still married to Annie.

Lorin also claims that the Citizens right-back lied to Annie and told her he was not the baby girl's father, even though a DNA test allegedly proved he was.

Kyle has now publicly apologized to his wife Annie for the scandal and the "heartbreak" he caused her.

The footballer took to Instagram Stories to post a statement which read: "Annie is an amazing woman and I can only apologize for the hurt I've caused her."

"She has been a part of my life for so long and that will never change for the sake of our children. I would like to ask for privacy for our entire family and especially our young children as we go through these difficult times," said more Walker./BGNES
