    Love rat Walker had been visiting his son and daughter that he shared with Lauryn – while long-suffering wife Annie had no idea.
    And she revealed the toll it has taken on her in an emotional Instagram post.
    She said: “I am typing this in tears and breaking down in front of my children.
    “I’ve addressed everything that’s been said this week and apologised to Annie.
    “I’ve gone away with my children as this week has been so difficult to cope with.”
    Lauryn had opened up about the affair in recent days – revealing she had wanted to start 2024 with a clean slate.
    She said she had wanted Kyle to tell Annie about the relationship – and said in her social media post that she had dealt with the situation “the best way I can”.
    She added: “My daughter is only six months old and my hormones are still raging so I have dealt with this in the best way I can and now I need to be left alone.
    “I’m not trying to claim to be the victim in this situation but I’m hugely struggling with my mental health now, I’m at breaking point and I can’t be the best possible mum to my babies when I feel this low.
    “I know people love gossip but this is pushing me to the edge.”
    In an exclusive interview with The Sun on Sunday, Lauryn said that after so many wrongs, she knew she had to do the right thing and reveal the truth to Annie so they could all “live their lives like adults”.
    Fighting back tears, Lauryn said: “I kept saying to Kyle, ‘You need to tell her.
    “You need to tell Annie that you are our daughter’s father and you are having a relationship with your children.
    “We need to start 2024 out in an open way. If everyone knows where they stand they can make their own adult choices in life.
    “I didn’t want to cause any more heartache for Annie or be a b***h but I had to tell her because Kyle was too weak to do it.
    “There were hearings coming up surrounding our daughter, there was paperwork flying around and legal meetings had taken place and Annie needed to know the truth before something went public.
    “Kyle was happy hiding the truth because he was having two families and was scared about what would happen when Annie knew but I kept saying to him, ‘Our daughter can’t be a secret, she is a human’.
    “I didn’t want them to split up or cause harm but it had to be out in the open for all of our sakes.
    “When I told Annie, she was cool and calm.”
    Walker has apologised to Annie — who has sons, Roman, Riaan and Reign, with the player — after she announced she was “taking time away” from him.
    He wrote on Instagram: “Annie is an amazing woman and I can only apologise for the upset I’ve caused her.”
    He has moved into a flat near the family’s home in Prestbury, Cheshire.
    She had previously been humiliated after Kyle was unmasked as the father of Lauryn’s son Kairo, born in April 2020.
    They conceived the youngster during their short relationship when Kyle was temporarily split from Annie – who finally dumped him this month.
    In November 2021, Kyle and Annie – who have three sons together – got married, before announcing their separation. 
    In March 2023, Lauryn revealed that she was expecting her second child – and kept tight-lipped about her daughter’s paternity, only revealing he “is a footballer”.
    Annie and Walker met as teenagers in their home city of Sheffield.
    But their troubles began after he made a £50million move from Tottenham to Manchester City in 2017.
    In 2019 it emerged he had romped with Ex On The Beach star Laura Brown in his Bentley.
    Model Annie kicked him out but gave him another chance.
    He was moving his stuff back in when he had a brief fling with Lauryn and she fell pregnant. Kyle moved out of the family home and began renting a luxury £8,000-a-month apartment in nearby Hale, Cheshire.
    He pleaded with Annie to take him back but was then exposed for breaking Covid  rules by hosting a £2,200 orgy with two hookers.
