Kyle Walker’s two children with Lauryn Goodman ‘did not receive Christmas presents from their father’

Kyle Walker hasn’t sent Christmas presents to the two children he shares with Lauryn Goodman this year, sources claim.

The 34-year-old Manchester City CEO is said to have chosen not to send his children, Kairo and Kinara, any presents for the second year in a row.

An insider told MailOnline: ‘Kyle has previously bought Christmas presents for his children with Lauryn, but things are as tense as ever at his home in Cheshire.

“He prays that Annie will change her mind about their divorce. The only thing Annie wants to maintain control over is for Kyle to stay away from Lauryn and the children they share.

“They certainly weren’t happy families for them this year and Kyle was there a few hours before he left to train and stay at his apartment in Manchester City. ‘

Elsewhere, The sun reported that his decision has caused unrest among mutual friends who hoped he would “put aside his differences.”

The source said: “All their mutual friends have spoken to Kyle. They are very angry with the children and with Lauryn, who always tries to do the right thing for their children.

“They hoped Kyle would put aside his differences for the sake of the children. But to have them do nothing for another year is just really sad.”

An insider close to Kyle claimed that while he provides for his children financially, he was never part of their Christmas celebrations.

It’s a year after Lauryn’s bombshell text to Annie: “Hey, it’s Lauryn. I just wanted to quickly tell you that Kyle is the father of our daughter. ‘Annie kicked Kyle out of the marital home in January this year after learning he had fathered daughter Kinara, his second child with influencer Lauryn.

She let him attend the birth of their fourth son Rezon this spring, and after a harmonious summer vacation with the family, she let him live with them again in September.

Kyle spent time at their home with the kids on Christmas Day, but the couple have not yet fully reconciled.

A source said: ‘It’s been a tough road and they’re up and down. At this point, they don’t know if they can fully reconcile.

‘The ultimate goal is for the children to do well. They don’t know if they will make it as a couple.’

“It’s been a tough road and they’re up and down. At this point, they don’t know if they can fully reconcile. The ultimate goal is that the children do well. They don’t know if they will make it as a couple.”

The source added, “When they broke up, they said they would stay united for the kids. The divorce is pending and they are still discussing what the next year could look like for them. They continue to live together.

“Despite everything that has been thrown at them, and not just by Lauryn, they continue amicably. It hasn’t been easy for a number of reasons. However, they have been a couple for 17 years, so there is a lot of history.

‘Kyle clearly has flaws, but he is a very involved father and the children are still very young. They have enormous respect for each other as parents.’

Annie has filed for divorce and a share of Walker’s £27 million fortune because she wants financial security.

However, it is clear that she is not yet taking legal action to dissolve the marriage.

She could opt for a “no-split divorce,” where they would continue to live together and co-parent, but would give her a financial settlement.

The couple have four children Roman, 12, Riaan, eight, Reign, six and baby Rezon.

Kyle’s son Kairo with Lauryn was born in 2020 after an affair, and daughter Kinara in 2023 after Kyle and Lauryn met at a law firm to discuss child support. It is believed he has no contact with the children.

He has no contact with Lauryn “in any form,” which is his choice but also reflects a promise made to Annie.

In an interview a few days after the paternity scandal broke, he said: “What I did is terrible and I take full responsibility.”

In June, Annie took the children to Germany to see Walker and his England teammates at the European Championships. After they defeated Spain in the final, he found himself in court for a showdown with Lauryn over money.

A judge accused Lauryn of using his desperation to keep the second child a secret as “leverage” to get what she wanted.

He also found that Lauryn was not a credible witness and that her demands for artificial grass, gardeners and a new car for a babysitter were excessive.

Annie was shocked at how much money had been spent to keep Lauryn Goodman happy.

Walker will train with his city teammates on Christmas afternoon and they will play Everton on Boxing Day.
