      The Man City defender, 33, is trying to save their marriage despite fathering a second child with Lauryn Goodman.
      He continues to wear his wedding ring — unlike Annie, whose tattoo will prove harder to remove.
      A source said: “Annie had ‘K’ for Kyle tattooed on to her ring finger a while ago.
      “If only he had shown her the same level of commitment.”

      We revealed Annie is six months pregnant with their fourth baby.
      The source added: “Her focus is their baby. She’s under a huge amount of pressure because of what he’s done.
      “But she wants to make sure she is doing everything she can to stay strong.”
      Lauryn and Kyle already share son Kairo, three, born in 2021 following a brief split with his childhood sweetheart Annie.
      Most read in Football
      Last week it emerged Lauryn fell pregnant with their daughter following secret visits to  Manchester for Kyle to see their son.
      They had a daughter last summer – now six months old – but Lauryn claims Kyle repeatedly denied the girl was his.
      She said the footballer then “tried to control me” in an effort to keep his secret family hidden from Annie.
      Fighting back tears, she says she kept asking the footballer to come clean with his wife but he was “too weak to do it”.

      Left with no other choice and desperate to move forward “like adults”, she broke the news to Annie on December 27.
      She told The Sun on Sunday: “I don’t think Annie wanted to believe it was true, which is understandable.
      “She kept asking for proof so I showed her the DNA test but even then she doubted it was real until I pointed out my daughter’s name on the paperwork.”
      As the women chatted they realised the England defender had lied to them both.
      Lauryn says: “She was asking all sorts of questions. I said, ‘I don’t want to hurt you,’ but she insisted on seeing photos, getting details.
      “I showed her one of Kyle and Kairo playing football together.
      “I know he has got photos of our kids up at Manchester City, I’ve met him lots of times since Kairo was born too. He has met his daughter.”
      Walker was later kicked out of the Cheshire home he shared with his wife and three sons.
      He is now renting a luxury £8,000-a-month apartment in nearby Hale, Cheshire.
      Annie announced last week she was separating from Walker after two years of marriage.
      It was confirmed hours later that Lauryn and Kyle shared a six month-old-daughter.
      Despite the affair tearing apart his marriage, a pal claims Lauryn meant nothing to the footballer.
      They told the Mirror: “It was effectively just a very, very quick fleeting thing while he was in the area.
      “Yes, things happened a few times but there were no ­feelings, and certainly no romance.”
      It comes as the player romped with Ex On The Beach star Laura Brown in his Bentley 4×4 and was caught having a Covid busting orgy with two hookers.
      Last March the City star was seen on CCTV exposing himself in a bar and snogging a woman.

      Today they were pictured together for the first time since the split as Annie handed over their eldest son Roman to Man City’s Kyle, in Prestbury, Cheshire.
      Annie, who was not wearing her wedding band, was seen putting on a brave face.
      She is due in March and gave a glimpse of her bump.
      Kyle, 33, collected cases before father and son headed to last night’s Fifa Best Awards in London.
      READ MORE ON KYLE AND ANNIE
      At the midday drop-off, he and Annie chatted briefly before she hugged Roman, 12, and said goodbye.
      A source confirmed to The Sun: “Annie is six months pregnant with their fourth child. It should be a time of great joy and excitement.
      “Instead, she’s struggling greatly with the fall-out from his latest sex scandal.
      “She’s understandably fragile but doing everything to protect her children and prepare for the arrival of their fourth.

      “To his credit, Kyle is trying to put on a united front to limit the damage they have been exposed to.
      “It’s a little bit too late, but he’s trying.”
      The source said Annie told only a handful of friends and family about the pregnancy and was desperate to keep it quiet.
      They added: “She was distraught after speculation emerged at the weekend.
      “It’s every woman’s right to be able to announce they’re expecting — not someone else.
      “She was deeply hurt by what was said, especially at a time when her world is currently in free fall.”

      The drop-off took place at Prestbury’s Mottram Hall — where the Walkers wed in November 2021.
      The source denied claims Kyle was kicked out five months ago, and said he was given his marching orders after Lauryn told Annie the truth.
      Model Lauryn, who gave birth to Kyle’s son Kairo in April 2020, messaged stunned Annie a day after Boxing Day.
      Annie suspected he was the father of her second child but had no proof until Lauryn presented her with DNA results and legal documents proving her worst fears.
      Lauryn, 32, told her: “I don’t have two baby daddies. I have one.”
      She then forwarded a photo of Kyle secretly enjoying a playdate with their two children in a park.
      Heartbroken Annie banished £160,000-a-week Kyle as her family rallied around her.
      Kyle, who captained City in a 3-2 win against Newcastle at the weekend, is now living in a rented apartment nearby.
      He apologised to Annie last week after she confirmed she was “taking time away”.
      Kyle had previously been unmasked as dad to Lauryn’s first child Kairo, now three.
      He promised to have nothing more to do with Lauryn or his son.
      But in September 2022 he met her in secret at a lawyer’s office.
      The pair resumed contact and weeks later Lauryn became pregnant with their second child.
      She gave birth to a daughter in July and refused to reveal the dad’s identity but repeatedly teased it online.

      At the weekend, Lauryn revealed why she delivered the news to Annie over Christmas.
      She said: “I kept saying to Kyle, ‘You need to tell Annie that you are our daughter’s father and you’re 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.”
      Lauryn said she did not want to cause “any more heartache” for Annie but said Kyle was too weak to tell the truth.
      She added: “I didn’t want them to split up but it had to be out in the open for all of our sakes.”
      Sources said Kyle and Annie’s marriage had been on the rocks in the months after Lauryn gave birth and that the latest scandal is the “final straw”.

      Disgraced love rat Kyle Walker shares hint he WILL play for Man City tonight just days after being dumped by wife

      by

      KYLE WALKER has dropped a hint that he will play for Manchester City tonight – just days after being dumped by his wife Annie Kilner.The shamed England defender shared a photo on Instagram ahead of City’s Premier League lineup to face Newcastle at St James’ Park.
      The star shared this photo on his Instagram story
      He has been revealed as the father of both Lauryn Goodman’s kids
      He has been dumped by wife Annie Kilner
      The post shows a collage of photos of Walker which reads ‘Newcastle vs Man City’.
      It adds “1730 KO” – with fans eagerly awaiting for kickoff at 5.30pm tonight.
      Walker was dumped earlier this week after Annie was sent a message about a “second love child” with Instagram influencer Lauryn.
      The model is understood to have bluntly written: “I don’t have two baby daddies — I have one.”
      MORE ON WALKER
      Kyle, 33, was then dumped by his wife after admitting he was indeed the father.
      Tearful Annie confronted the Man City full-back and the pair argued before she ordered him to leave the family home.
      Annie — who has sons, Roman, Riaan and Reign, with the player — then announced she was “taking time away” from him.
      In an apology to his wife, Kyle wrote on Instagram: “Annie is an amazing woman and I can only apologise for the upset I’ve caused her.”

      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 Kilner – who finally dumped him for good this week.
      In November 2021, Kyle and Annie – who have three sons together – got married.
      But 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”.
      But on Boxing Day Kyle’s betrayal finally caught up with him.

      A source said: “Lauryn had  had enough of the lies so told Annie everything on Boxing Day.
      “Annie was stunned but knew ultimately that Lauryn was telling her the truth. There is no hiding that fact. She thought she deserved to know the truth.”
      Annie and Kyle 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.
      Lauryn gave birth to Kairo in April then publicly unmasked Walker as his dad.
      Annie took him back again and he proposed with a £250,000  ring.The couple wed in December 2021 at Mottram Hall, Cheshire.
      It comes as the player romped with Ex On The Beach star Laura Brown in his Bentley 4×4 and was caught having a Covid busting orgy with two hookers.

      The model – who gave birth to a baby girl in July – has long been dogged by rumours that Kyle is the father.
      She was seen for the first time since the couple’s split on a coffee run in Sussex while cradling her daughter. 
      Lauryn juggled car keys, a coffee and her phone while wearing black flared leggings, a black fleece and Adidas shoes.
      Lauryn had a brief relationship with footballer Kyle in 2019. The pair then had a son called Kairo in April 2020.
      They conceived the youngster during their short relationship when Kyle was temporarily split from Annie Kilner – who finally dumped him this week.
      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”.
      Yesterday The Sun revealed Annie, 30, was sent a message “out of the blue” on Boxing Day alleging that Kyle was the father of Lauryn’s second baby.

      Tearful Annie confronted the Man City full-back and the pair argued before she ordered him to leave the family home.
      A source said: “It absolutely floored her, he’d humiliated her once and now she suspected he’d done it again with the same woman.
      “It came out of the blue on Boxing Day- couldn’t have been a worse time to receive such a claim about her husband.”
      Another source told how the marriage had been on the rocks for months after Lauryn taunted her online about the identity of the baby’s father.

      They added: “She didn’t want to believe it, but she was obviously suspicious after his previous love child.”
      The source said Kyle had moved into a luxury apartment in Prestbury, Cheshire, but continues to see the three kids he has with Annie.
      Friends said there was “no chance” Annie would reconcile with the shamed player who has remained tight-lipped.
      Annie wrote on Instagram yesterday: “I am posting this in response to growing recent media enquiries about my marriage to Kyle and in an effort to protect my family against the intensity of the media spotlight.
      “Sadly, after many years of marriage and three wonderful children together, I have decided to take some time away from Kyle.

      LOVE RAT
      Walker’s shock split with Kilner comes after a series of sex scandals involving the Three Lions full-back who captained his country for the first time in November.
      The pair first met in their home city Sheffield when she was 15 and he 17.
      He moved from Sheffield United to Tottenham and established himself as a first team regular.
      But Walker was dogged by a series of controversies following his £50million move to City in 2017.
      Annie kicked him out in 2019 after Ex On The Beach star Laura Brown said they repeatedly romped in his Bentley.
      She took the £160,000-a-week defender back but gave him the boot again when he revealed Instagram influencer Lauryn Goodman, 32, was having his baby.
      Walker moved into an £8,000-a-month flat nearby Hale, Cheshire -— but was then caught breaching lockdown rules by having an orgy with two sex workers.
      The defender and a pal agreed to pay escort Louise McNamara, 21, and a 24-year-old Brazilian call girl £2,200 in cash.
      He told the girls his name was “Kai” before pulling out gold-coloured Shine condoms.
      He apologised before breaking lockdown rules a second time just weeks later during visits to see his family.
      Despite fathering another child, the couple reunited after Annie vowed to stay together for the sake of their three young kids.

      Furious Annie Walker has hired Coleen Rooney’s victorious Wagatha Christie lawyer in her battle with love-rat hubby Kyle.
      Pals say Annie has privately vowed to seek a divorce with a fight looming over his £30million fortune.
      We told yesterday how she has booted out the England star — and her family are also keen for her to make the split permanent.
      The Sun can also reveal that Annie dumped Kyle over claims he had fathered a second love child with model Lauryn Goodman, 32.
      READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
      The pair have son Kairo, three, following a fling in 2019 while he was briefly separated from Annie.
      Lauryn gave birth to a girl last July and has been dogged by rumours Kyle is the dad.
      Sources say Annie was “floored” after receiving a message on Boxing Day which made the same claim.
      The source added: “He’d humiliated her once and now Annie suspected he’d done it again with the same woman.
      Most read in Football
      “It came out of the blue, it couldn’t have been a worse time.”
      The couple had a showdown and Annie kicked him out of their £2.5million mansion in Cheshire.
      She has had a series of heart-to-hearts with Coleen, wife of former England striker Wayne.
      Annie has “lawyered up” with legal whizz Paul Lunt, who acted for Coleen in her libel battle with Wag Becky Vardy.
      Annie has also recruited top PR agent Rachel Monk.
      Incredibly, Kyle ditched his spokeswoman and also hired Miss Monk to manage the scandal.
      Annie had previously agreed to stand by the Manchester City ace despite his 2019 fling with model Lauryn.
      Annie branded his betrayal “obscene” but insisted on ­keeping their family together. But she finally snapped after their ­Boxing Day row.
      Another source said the marriage had been on the rocks for months after Lauryn taunted her online about the identity of the baby’s father.
      The source added: “Annie didn’t want to believe it, but she was obviously suspicious after his previous love child.”
      The source said Kyle has moved into an apartment in Prestbury, Cheshire, but still sees his and Annie’s three kids.
      The source added: “If it is true, how can he be so stupid to do it again? I feel sorry for Annie and the kids. The truth is she loves him.”
      Friends said there was “no chance” Annie would reconcile.
      Kyle, who captained the Three Lions against North Macedonia in November, has remained silent.
      She announced their separation on Wednesday following a series of secret legal meetings.
      Annie wrote on Instagram: “I am posting this in response to growing recent media enquiries about my marriage to Kyle and in an effort to protect my family against the ­intensity of the media spotlight.
      “Sadly, after many years of ­marriage and three wonderful children together, I have decided to take some time away from Kyle.”
      She added: “I do not wish to ­comment on the position any ­further.
      “For now, I ask that the ­privacy of myself and our three young children is respected during this difficult time.”
      The couple wed in November 2021 but have been together for 15 years after meeting as teenagers in their home city of Sheffield.
      Annie loyally followed Kyle when he signed for Tottenham, and when he made his £50million move to Manchester City in 2017.
      But sex scandals followed — including a sordid 2019 fling with TV reality star Laura Brown.
      Annie took him back, but within weeks Lauryn was pregnant with Kairo.
      He confessed to Annie in a phone call from training in ­February 2020 and Kairo was born that April.
      Despite the ­heartache, Annie agreed to take him back again for the sake of their kids.
      She later revealed the pain he had inflicted in an exclusive interview with The Sun on Sunday, saying: “I don’t think I’ll ever be the same again because of what he’s done.
      “It makes me really sad that I’ve been damaged so badly when I’ve done nothing to deserve it. I love Kyle dearly and I’ll always love him, but to do this to me . . . after three kids?”
      She added: “I’ve tried to hate him but how can I hate the man my kids love so much?
      “Before the infidelity he was my best friend, my soulmate. I could count on him for anything. But none of what I thought we had feels real because he stabbed me in the back.”
      She also spoke of her pain as she wondered if Kairo looked like Kyle.
      Kyle had promised to have nothing to do with Lauryn or his son.
      But after a legal meeting in September 2022 they began communicating and he was secretly seeing Kairo up to twice a week.
      A source said: “Lauryn has always wanted Kyle to be a part of Kairo’s life.

      “Kyle and Lauryn only discussed their son and there was nothing else to it, but if he didn’t tell Annie it’s not surprising she was upset to find out.

      The happy couple were pictured smiling following the low-key ceremony in Senegal which was attended by close friends and family.
      The pair met through Mane’s agent who was friends with Aisha’s construction boss dad when she was 16, it has emerged.
      Aisha’s dad Amadou Tamba said the pair was introduced “more than two years ago” but clarified his daughter is now 18 years old amid conflicting reports she is 19 years old.
      The couple is thought to have kept their relationship secret before their wedding but Mr Tamba also said they never dated before getting married.

      He told local Univers Info: “My wife and Aisha visited their (Mane’s) family one day, and this is where he met her for the first time.
      “He probably saw something special in her and his parents appreciated her as well. They came to see me.
      “We discussed as per the tradition, agreed on everything and waited for this day to happen.
      “They were not dating because Aisha was still young.”

      The marriage was reportedly agreed when Aisha was still at school but both families decided to wait until she reached 18 – with Mane taking care of her bills.
      Mr Tamba, a constructor, added: “With the values and all that she heard about him, she accepted voluntarily. But as parents we also guided and advised her to freely make up her mind. God did what’s best for her.”
      And friends of the family said Aisha’s dad is good friends with Mane’s uncle, who acted as a go-between between the two families for a formal marriage proposal to be made.
      The couple were introduced after her constructor dad Madou Tamba met with Sadio’s agent Bacary Cisse for a project.
      The ex-Bayern Munich footballer has funded a number of charitable construction projects in his hometown Bambali, including a school, a health centre, a post office and most recently a small football stadium.
      He has also provided laptops for the school, a 4G network for the entire community and £60 (70 euros) a month for every family in his old neighbourhood.
      The pair, who are from the same area in Senegal are seen grinning in photos surrounded by friends and family during the ceremony in Dakar.
      Snaps of the wedding were shared on Instagram and received more than 85,000 likes in less than 24 hours.
      Unlike her sports star spouse, Aisha appears to remain out of the spotlight and has no presence on social media.
      Speaking to local media following the wedding, Sadio admitted he was overjoyed after receiving so many congratulations.
      “Honestly, I am happy [with] the fact the president has congratulated me just as much as, well, I would say not just my team-mates,” he said.
      “I think that all the people have congratulated me and wished me [luck] so I am happy and I hope that it’ll be okay.”
      Mane also made light of jokes surrounding his marriage to his 18-year-old bride as Senegal’s president Macky Sall received the national squad ahead of AFCON.
      “First of all, I would like to warmly congratulate our national Nianthi, Sadio Mane, who has just got married,” Sall said.
