Kyle Walker lifts lid on marriage woes during legal battle with Lauryn Goodman as he tells court he...
Kyle Walker suggested that his relationship with his childhood sweetheart Annie Kilner may still be in trouble, based on his recent court appearance with his former mistress Lauryn Goodman.
The Manchester City player mentioned in court that he might be getting a divorce, and his wife - who is the mother of four of his sons - could get half of his £26 million wealth.
Goodman, 33, faced criticism from Walker for her excessive desire for more, as she made unreasonable requests from the England Vice Captain, with whom she had a daughter after their son was born four years ago.
During the two-day court case, Goodman, who had already been gifted a £2.4million house in Sussex by Walker, requested £350,000 for child support and a £31,200 artificial grass for their daughter to play on in the future.
However, during questioning from Goodman's attorneys about why he was offering varying amounts of money for his daughter Kinara compared to his son Kairo, 34-year-old Walker, a player for Manchester City, disclosed the complete details of his marital troubles.
Walker mentioned that he had previously tried to make peace with Goodman by making kind gestures, suggesting that Goodman is motivated by money. He also clarified that he does not favor one child over the other.
When asked about the change, Walker, who has four children with his spouse, mentioned that he might be divorcing soon. He expressed concerns that this decision could greatly affect his finances.
Annie Kilner, who has been with Kyle Walker since they were young, was seen in Frankfurt while supporting him at the Euros.
Lauryn Goodman was seen exiting the Central Family Court after her child maintenance hearing with Walker concluded.
Kyle Walker departed from the courthouse after his child support hearing with Lauren Goodman this afternoon and went to Cafe Nero.
He informed the court that his connection with everything has changed. He might be going through a divorce and could potentially lose half of his finances.
Walker and Kilner first crossed paths when Walker was still a teenager, only 17 years old. They eventually tied the knot in 2022, marking a significant milestone in their relationship. However, their journey together has had its fair share of challenges along the way.
When Goodman welcomed their first child Kairo in 2020, she made it known to the public that Walker was the father, causing his relationship with Kilner to fall apart.
She angrily kicked him out of their house, while Goodman went through a difficult and costly court process for two years to submit a financial application.
After ending communication with his lover, Walker went back to living with Kilner and their four sons: Roman, aged 11, Riaan, aged seven, Reign, aged five, and Rezon, aged three months.
However, in June 2023, Goodman and Walker's daughter was born after they reconnected following a meeting at Walker's lawyer's office.
Just two days after Kinara gave birth, a request was made to increase the child support for her son Kairo from £110,000 annually to £177,000.

Kyle Walker has decided to purchase a £2.4million property in Sussex for Lauren Goodman. Not only that, but he has also committed to spending more than £120,000 on walk-in wardrobes, blinds, curtains, sofas, and garden furniture.
Because she was aware that Walker wanted to keep their daughter's birth private and away from the public eye, Goodman made a series of absurd requests, subtly suggesting that she might reveal the information publicly.
He promised to purchase a mansion in Sussex for her and splurge on walk-in closets, window treatments, couches, and landscaping.
However, it was revealed in court that Goodman clearly did not plan to keep the situation confidential. Just before Christmas, when Walker was out playing football on December 27th, she sent a text to Kilner, who was expecting her fourth child and was home by herself.
Hello, it's Lauryn here. I just wanted to let you know that Kyle is the father of our daughter, she wrote.
During the court case, held at 10am on the Monday following the Euro final in Berlin, Goodman argued that the message was sent in order to resolve issues and promote positive relationships among the boys.
Once again, chaos ensued and Walker was asked to vacate his family residence.
However, only four months later, Walker was welcomed back into the family residence, with Kilner and their kids seen supporting him from the stands at the Euro 2024 competition in Germany.
Walker and Kilner have been together since they were young teenagers in school.
Kyle Walker and his wife Annie Kilner, along with their family, were pictured together after the England vs Denmark match in Frankfurt on June 20th.
Walker's spouse Kilner kicked the soccer player out of their £3.5 million luxurious home in Cheshire.
Kyle has moved back in with Annie and the children as they work to overcome their challenges and improve their marriage, according to a source who spoke to MailOnline in May.
She requires assistance with household chores and relies heavily on emotional support. Kyle is thrilled to be back living with his family, but there is still tension between them.
However, considering Walker's remarks in court - where he admitted that "financially half my assets" could possibly be lost in a divorce settlement - it indicates that their relationship still bears the scars of Walker's unfaithfulness.
After the court's decision, a representative for Walker commented yesterday: 'This ruling clearly shows Lauryn Goodman's never-ending desire for money and determination to acquire more.'
The judge was very clear: she took advantage of Kyle as a limitless source of money and continuously made threats to manipulate him into giving her what she desired.
She then organized a publicity blitz to fuel an unacceptable and unjustified invasion into the personal lives of Kyle, Annie, and their young family.
During each trial, the judge consistently noted that Kyle approached the case with fairness and generosity.
Annie Kilner was at the Olympiastadion in Berlin to watch the final match between England and Spain in the Euro 2024 tournament on July 14th.
Lauryn Goodman brings her son Kairo to see his dad Kyle Walker play for England against Denmark in Frankfurt on June 20. Kairo was dressed in an England jersey with the number 2 on it and 'Daddy' written on the back.
Lauryn Goodman shared a photo of her kids enthusiastically supporting Kyle Walker during the Euro 2024 quarter-final game between England and Switzerland on July 6. The children were wearing shirts with the word 'Daddy' written on them.
These actions were completely unnecessary. Kyle's proposal should have been agreed to several months ago, which would have avoided causing extra stress for everyone involved.
After this decision and the revelations it brings to light, my client and his family are now requesting that the media honors their privacy as they move forward.
Speaking out for the first time, Goodman affirmed yesterday that she was solely focused on the well-being of her two children.
She expressed that the proceedings were challenging and caused a lot of stress, which she had hoped to avoid. She emphasized that the main focus has always been the children and ensuring their future needs are met.
I am a committed mother raising my children on my own. I may not be able to provide them with everything their half siblings have, but I have always done my utmost for my children and will continue to do so, no matter the challenges we may face.
I am grateful to my lawyers and the judge for securing my children's future. I am now shifting my focus towards ensuring a stable foundation for them, as I prepare for the eventual return of their home to their father.
Above all, I am eager to cherish every moment spent with my children and for the three of us to continue living our lives together.
Both sides have until August 13 to challenge the decision.

Judge Hess stated that the father's proposal is deemed 'just and reasonable', however, it should increase consistently with the rate of inflation.
Goodman wanted to provide the nanny with a car worth £30,000, which should be replaced every three years. They also agreed to cover the cost of driving lessons and the driving test for the nanny.
Walker does not consent to this.
