Kyle Walker is considering seeking a harassment order against his ex Lauryn Goodman to protect the four young children he has with wife Annie Kilner, friends of the Manchester City star have claimed.
Walker, 34, is determined to save his marriage to Annie, 32, after fathering not one but two children with his former mistress Goodman.
The mother of two, who was branded “difficult, unreasonable and demanding” by a judge last month during her child support dispute with Walker, frequently lashes out at her ex and his family on social media for the world to see.
Walker is now reportedly taking matters into his own hands by contacting his lawyers about the messages, a source told The Mirrorand adds that the star is desperately trying to protect the four sons he has with Annie.
Two law firms are said to have advised him that he has reason to take action. The footballer is said to be ‘carefully exploring all options’.

In the couple’s alimony battle last month, which Goodman lost, the judge accused the reality star of using Walker as an “open checkbook.”
Judge Edward Hess also criticized Goodman for intentionally causing suffering to Kyle’s wife.
But since the verdict, things have only gotten worse for the footballer, the source said.
“It has gotten worse with new stories emerging every day and Lauryn posting regularly on her social media,” the source told The Mirror.
“It has become impossible for Annie and the children to ignore this.”
They added: ‘[Walker] gets advice on what the best options are, even though he doesn’t really want to take these kinds of steps.’

Walker has two children with Goodman: four-year-old son Kairo and one-year-old daughter Kinara.
Annie previously evicted Walker from their £3.5million Cheshire family home after discovering he had fathered a second child with Goodman.
But in April, Walker was reportedly with Annie when she gave birth to their fourth son, whom the couple named Rezon.
Annie announced in January that she had been “not married for a while” but they are now reportedly working through their issues.
A spokeswoman for Kyle Walker declined to comment. MailOnline has contacted Goodman’s representatives for comment.
