      In an interview with The Sun he said the shock caused him to go into “survival mode”.
      He said: “Lauryn told me at the end of October, early November. I remember going upstairs at the training ground when I got a phone call from her. I was with the physio at the time.
      “I nearly fainted. I was just white. He said to me, ‘What’s the matter?’, and I wouldn’t tell him because I needed to process it myself.
      “I asked if we could scrap the session and he just said, ‘Fine’.

      She [Lauryn] was screaming down the phone, saying Annie’s pregnant. I said she wasn’t. It was none of her business. I felt I had to lie to her because I knew if I told her the truth it was going to blow.” Kyle WalkerInterview with The Sun
      “I went into survival mode. I was like, ‘What can I do now every day to make sure that I go home to Annie and the boys?’.”
      The footballer said he continued showing up on the pitch because it was a “release” from the emotional stress and anguish.
      Kyle added that he tried to keep the news secret because he’s “a private person” not because he felt shame or embarrassment.

      In the candid interview he also explained how he first met Lauryn in his early 20s.
      Most read in Football
      Despite her claims, he insisted that there had never been a relationship.
      However, in April 2020, she gave birth to a son and later publicly named Kyle as the dad.
      He was thrown out of the family home and moved into a rented £8,000-a-month pad nearby after telling Annie he had a baby with Lauryn after “a one-night stand”.
      But, his wife rekindled their relationship for the sake of their children and Kyle promised never to contact Lauryn again other than for financial reasons regarding their son.
      By August 2022, Lauryn relocated closer to the Man City defender and he then met his son, Kairo, for the first time.
      Then in early October 2022, Kyle travelled to London for groin surgery and secretly met Lauryn.
      The pair later slept with each other, which the England ace said “wasn’t intentional or premeditated”.
      “A lot was going on. It’s not an excuse. I’d ruptured my groin, I had a World Cup to get fighting fit for,” he told The Sun.
      BOXING DAY BOMBSHELL
      After Lauryn revealed she was expecting with his baby, in early November, Kyle tried to keep everything under wraps.
      However, a day after Boxing Day, Lauryn took matters into her own hands and sent Annie an Instagram message, telling her: “I don’t have two baby daddies — I have one.”
      She also shared a photo of Kyle on a playdate with Lauryn and the two children in a park.
      The footballer said he suspected Lauryn would drop the bombshell after discovering Annie was pregnant with their fourth child.
      “She was screaming down the phone, saying Annie’s pregnant. I said she wasn’t. It was none of her business. I felt I had to lie to her because I knew if I told her the truth it was going to blow,” explained Kyle.
      “The pregnancy was the straw that broke the camel’s back.”
      But, the footballer said: “I take full ownership of the choices that I’ve made that have hurt other people.
      “I have done it by my own accord and I won’t blame anything or anyone else in this situation.
      “It was me that did it, me and Lauryn. We both did this.
      “If I could go back and do it a different way, I would. I knew what was coming. The second child had been born and the deadline was set. It scared me.”
      The England ace has now been thrown out by soon to be ex-wife Annie Kilner.
      He is living alone in a rented £3million property as long-suffering Annie deals with the fall-out amid her fourth pregnancy with Kyle.
      She has has since ditched her wedding ring and hired Coleen Rooney’s Wagatha Christie lawyer, Paul Lunt, and PR guru Rachel Monk.

      Kyle has opened up about the heartbreak of living separately from his children.
      “My little boy goes to sleep with me every night and to not have him . . . I’m used to being away for long periods of time with England,” he said.
      “We say goodnight on FaceTime. But to know that I’m not with him because of my mistake.”
      He also apologised to Annie, mum to three of his children and confessed “the only person to blame is me”.
      “What I’ve done is horrible and I take full responsibility,” he said.
      “I made idiot choices and idiot decisions. I can’t begin to think or imagine what Annie is going through. I’ve tried to ask her but there’s pain and hurt.
      “The man that’s meant to love, care and be there for her, did this.”

      My move to Munich to escape
      KYLE told how he almost followed Harry Kane to Bayern Munich to escape the looming baby scandal.
      The defender verbally agreed a reported £15million move to the German champions in July.
      He said: “I tried to escape. Did I want to leave City? No, of course I didn’t. We’re the best team in the world at the minute.
      “But it was a chance to get away from England and the media I was going to get.
      “I was aware the clock was ticking. I came very close to moving. We were having conversations. I was going to a great club, a massive club. But in the end I couldn’t go.
      “If I’m in Germany and this happens, Annie leaves and I’m now in Germany on my own.
      “My kids wouldn’t be around the corner where I can see them.
      “There’s pain and emotion at the moment but I can go to the house, take the kids to school, and my little lad to football.”

      Annie’s world imploded just after Christmas when she received a devastating Instagram message out of the blue from Lauryn Goodman, who told her that Kyle had fathered another child with her.
      For the first time he publicly admits: “I’m sorry that I have had a second child with Lauryn and hurt my best friend.
      “It’s horrible to say that out loud.
      “I’ve hurt someone I truly believe is my soulmate.

      “It’s tough to not have her.
      “She’s my right-hand man.
      “I think of her so highly that she probably won’t understand and I probably don’t really tell her.
      “This isn’t an interview for me to tell the world how much I care about her because that’s down to me and Annie and what we feel.
      Most read in Football
      “Annie knows I’m sorry.
      “I’m sorry because as a family this isn’t meant to happen.
      “They are all I’ve got.
      “I’m not asking for pity.
      “I’ve let Annie and my boys down, I’ve let my mum and dad down, my nan down.”
      Last year, Lauryn, 32, welcomed their second child — a baby girl — conceived during a brief liaison in London.
      Annie then became pregnant with their fourth just weeks later and is due to give birth in March.
      Kyle said: “It pains me to think (of how she is coping while pregnant).
      “I’ve never not been there.
      “To not be there when she needs me the most, but to know that you’ve caused that hurt, that’s something I have to live with now.”
      Lauryn told Annie she deserved to know the truth and provided DNA results and legal letters that confirmed her worst fears.
      I’ve let Annie and my boys down, I’ve let my mum and dad down, my nan downKyle Walker
      In a bombshell admission, Kyle says he lived with the lie for 14 months, even after Annie, 30, became pregnant for a fourth time.
      Despite everything, he is desperate to save the marriage but accepts this could be the final nail in the coffin.
      He said he would not blame Annie if she chose to divorce him — and vowed to become a better role model.
      He said: “I think there’s too much pain and too much hurt.
      “For now, I just need to be the best dad that I can be.”
      By contrast he added of Lauryn: “There was no relationship.
      “That is something Lauryn could never honestly say.
      “We’ve never been out for food.
      “We’ve never been to the cinema.
      “I admit Lauryn was a friend for a long time.
      “I probably met her back when I was 20, 21.
      “We then have our episode in 2020.
      “I’m 33 now, that’s a good nine years before there has been anything of the sort.
      “After that there was nothing of the sort.
      “To have a relationship with someone… would she even know how many sugars I have in my coffee, if I have sugars?
      “She couldn’t tell you.
      A move to Bayern to flee fallout
      KYLE last night told how he almost followed Harry Kane to Bayern Munich to escape the looming baby scandal.
      The defender verbally agreed a reported £15million move to the German champions in July.
      He said: “I tried to escape. Did I want to leave City? No, of course I didn’t. We’re the best team in the world at the minute.
      “But it was a chance to get away from England and the media I was going to get.
      “I was aware the clock was ticking. I came very close to moving. We were having conversations. I was going to a great club, a massive club. But in the end I couldn’t go.
      “If I’m in Germany and this happens, Annie leaves and I’m now in Germany on my own.
      “My kids wouldn’t be around the corner where I can see them.
      “There’s pain and emotion at the moment but I can go to the house, take the kids to school, and my little lad to football.”

      “Lauryn had me trapped in a corner from October when she told me about a second child.
      “She would ask me to jump and I would say, ‘How high?’. This was to meet growing and unreasonable demands in return of not destroying my family.”
      Kyle admits he should have told his wife the truth when Lauryn became pregnant again.
      But he knew it would almost certainly end their marriage — and force him from the family home.
      He said: “It was selfish. I didn’t tell her because I wanted to be with her and the kids. Should she have heard it from Lauryn? No, no. 
      “That was the least I owed her. I was aware that the clock was ticking and I still chose not to tell Annie.” 
      It was selfish. I didn’t tell her because I wanted to be with her and the childrenKyle Walker
      But in a startling admission the World Cup star said: “I do and I don’t regret it.
      “I regret not telling her because she had a right to know and that’s the least I owe my best friend.
      “I don’t regret it selfishly because I got to spend days with my children.
      “I got to take the kids to the World Cup — they were there.
      “I’ve won a treble with City.
      “To see my kids’ faces when we won the Champions League is something I’ll never forget.
      “So whilst I deeply regret not telling Annie, I got to experience it as a family.
      “It was a double-edged sword between my conscience being clean and losing my family.”
      The full-back holds out the “unrealistic” hope Annie will give him another chance but accepts the misery he has inflicted on her.
      He toys with his wedding ring as he ponders: “Would people think she was mad to take me back? One million per cent.”
      A tattoo of the letter “A” for Annie is under his wedding band.
      She too has “K” for Kyle inked onto her finger — but has ditched the ring.
      Kyle adds: “People are entitled to their opinions, but they don’t know what goes on behind closed doors.
      “We’re not perfect.
      “Everyone goes through ups and downs in life.
      “But I wouldn’t blame her if she divorced me.
      “I would understand that she had got to a point where enough was enough.
      “I have to respect her decision.
      “I wouldn’t be angry or shocked if she did.
      “The ball is firmly in her court on what she decides to do with the future.
      “For me, again, I can keep on saying sorry but sorry’s not going to change anything.
      “All I can do is build a better future with or without Annie.”
      After Kyle fathered his first child with Lauryn, Annie described his betrayal as “obscene”.
      But she took him back and they married in late 2021 at plush Mottram Hall in Wilmslow, Cheshire.

      But their marriage was unable to escape from the shadow of his infidelity. 
      Wiping tears from his eyes, Kyle admits: “I lost a part of her.
      “Up until probably about three months ago she never told me she loved me.
      “She refused to tell me she loved me.
      “She said when she felt she could tell me that again then she would. And then all of this happened.”
      Kyle called Annie a “fantastic mum”, adding: “Recently, she has let me ring her phone which has been a massive help.
      “That just shows the mum that she is to the kids.
      “She doesn’t want to take that away.
      “They have always wished me good luck before the games and they did before the FA Cup win against Tottenham.
      “Little things like that show the character she has as a mum.
      “No matter what happens, the girl, the woman, my wife, will be my best friend until I die.
      “I’ll respect her decision fully.
      “I can’t change the past.
      “I can hopefully change the future.

      So grateful to Pep and Southgate
      GRATEFUL Kyle last night than-ked his Man City manager Pep Guardiola and England’s Gareth Southgate for standing by him.
      Kyle called the Spaniard “unbelievable”. He said: “He didn’t know what was happening.
      “I didn’t want to tell him because I didn’t want him to think I wasn’t mentally there.
      “I can’t thank him enough for the understanding and belief he’s shown in me through four years.”
      Pep, 53, made Kyle captain despite objections from some fans. And the pair embraced on the pitch last Friday after a 1-0 win against Spurs in the FA Cup.
      Kyle was visibly emotional and punched the air repeatedly.
      He said Southgate — who made him England captain against North Macedonia last year — sent a supportive text message after his latest sex scandal.
      He declined to reveal details but said: “For your national team manager to reach out in a time of need goes beyond football.”

      Sheffield-born Kyle, who has won 81 caps for England and last season landed the treble with Man City, said he was speaking out for the sake of his family.
      He explained: “I am a private man but I accept that I am a public figure and I need to address what I’ve done.
      “It hasn’t helped that it has been played out in the media. But I’ve chosen to speak now in the hope that I can at least explain myself and enable my wife and children to have the privacy they so desperately need and deserve.”
      Kyle, who captained his country for the first time in November in a 1-1 draw with North Macedonia, went on: “When I met Annie at 17, I never envisaged my private life being like this. I never thought I would be a father of six.
      My actions have caused a lot of pain to a lot of peopleKyle Walker
      “In football I’ve achieved more than what I ever thought I would achieve. But to personally hurt what I truly believe is my best friend, that’s what hurts a lot.
      “How could I hurt someone I love so much? That’s something I need to find in myself.
      “I need to find out why I have done this and why situations have occurred. I am human and I’ve made mistakes on and off the field.
      “The ones off the field are definitely more damaging and have been more hurtful to me.
      “Football has been my life since I was six but my family comes before anything on this planet. At the moment, they’re hurting enormously.”
      His voice broke as he revealed: “My little boy goes to sleep with me every night and to not have him . . . I’m used to being away for long periods of time with England.
      “We say goodnight on FaceTime. But to know that I’m not with him because of my mistake — mistake is probably the wrong word, my choices — that’s what pains me.”
      Kyle said he had known Lauryn since his early 20s. Despite her claims, he insisted that there had never been a relationship.
      But in April 2020, she gave birth to a son, and later publicly named Kyle as the dad.
      He recalls ringing Annie from City’s training ground to warn her before news got out, saying: “I’ve got to tell you something. I had a one-night stand with someone.”

      He named Lauryn then interrupted his wife’s screams to add: “I’ve got to tell you something else.”
      Annie yelled: “Kyle, no, I’m begging you, there can’t be anything else.” She said afterwards: “I didn’t think ‘baby’.
      “It was like a nightmare. Before I had time to think he said, ‘She says she’s pregnant and it’s mine’.”
      Kyle moved out of the family home to a rented £8,000-a-month pad in nearby Hale, Cheshire.
      Annie later agreed to take him back for the sake of their children and admitted: “How can I hate the man my kids love so much?”
      Kyle vowed not to have any contact with Lauryn — beyond ongoing financial arrangements.
      But in August 2022, Lauryn revealed she was planning to relocate 245 miles from Brighton to set up home on his doorstep.
      Kyle said he met her at a solicitors’ office to try to stop the move.He then met his son, Kairo, for the first time and the couple resumed contact without Annie’s knowledge.
      In early October 2022, Kyle travelled to London for groin surgery and met Lauryn.

      He said: “It wasn’t intentional or premeditated but I slept with her. A lot was going on. It’s not an excuse. I’d ruptured my groin, I had a World Cup to get fighting fit for.”
      But then he received the bombshell news that Lauryn was pregnant again.
      He recalled: “Lauryn told me at the end of October, early November. I remember going upstairs at the training ground when I got a phone call from her. I was with the physio at the time. I nearly fainted. I was just white. He said to me, ‘What’s the matter?’, and I wouldn’t tell him because I needed to process it myself.
      “I asked if we could scrap the session and he just said, ‘Fine’.
      “I went into survival mode. I was like, ‘What can I do now every day to make sure that I go home to Annie and the boys?’.
      “When I was dealing with all this, I was still able to play football. My mum and my dad and my friends have asked me, ‘How?’.
      “But it was my release. It was 90 minutes, 100 minutes, two hours if you want to call it that, where I didn’t have to look at that phone or listen to demands from a certain someone.
      “I’ve tried my utmost to keep this under wraps, not because I’m embarrassed or ashamed . . . I try to be a private person.
      “I take full ownership of the choices that I’ve made that have hurt other people.
      “No one’s put a gun to my head and said that I’ve got to do these things. I have done it by my own accord and I won’t blame anything or anyone else in this situation.
      “It was me that did it, me and Lauryn. We both did this.
      “If I could go back and do it a different way, I would. I knew what was coming. The second child had been born and the deadline was set. It scared me.”

      In the same month, he verbally agreed a reported £15million move to German giants Bayern Munich — to try to run from the looming scandal.
      But he eventually turned them down as he did not want to be away from his family when his secret emerged.
      Then, a day after Boxing Day, Lauryn sent Annie an Instagram message, telling her: “I don’t have two baby daddies — I have one.”
      She also forwarded a photo of Kyle on a playdate with Lauryn and the two children in a park.
      Kyle added: “I knew something was coming when I landed back from the Club World Cup before Christmas because I had a conversation with Lauryn.
      “She was screaming down the phone, saying Annie’s pregnant. I said she wasn’t. It was none of her business. I felt I had to lie to her because I knew if I told her the truth it was going to blow.
      “The pregnancy was the straw that broke the camel’s back.”

      “My kids wouldn’t be around the corner where I can see them.
      “There’s pain and emotion at the moment but I can go to the house, take the kids to school, and my little lad to football.”

      Annie ordered the £160,000-a-week star to leave the family home in Cheshire and has since ditched her wedding ring.
      She has hired Coleen Rooney’s Wagatha Christie lawyer, Paul Lunt, and PR guru Rachel Monk.
      Shortly after the New Year she announced in a statement that she was taking “some time away” from Kyle.
      He said: “It’s my fault. It’s completely my fault. It’s what I’ve done. But the children are innocent in all of this and that has to be at the forefront of everyone’s minds.

      “I don’t know what the future will hold. But I needed to give an explanation. My family, the children have been put through enough . . . and I am to blame.”

      KYLE is not being paid for this interview but a donation will be made to a charity of his choice.

      Grateful to Pep and Southgate
      GRATEFUL Kyle thanked his Man City manager Pep Guardiola and England’s Gareth Southgate for standing by him.
      Kyle called the Spaniard “unbelievable”.
      He said: “He didn’t know what was happening.
      “I didn’t want to tell him because I didn’t want him to think I wasn’t mentally there.
      “I can’t thank him enough for the understanding and belief he’s shown in me through four years.”
      Pep, 53, made Kyle captain despite objections from some fans. And the pair embraced on the pitch last Friday after a 1-0 win against Spurs in the FA Cup.
      Kyle was visibly emotional and punched the air repeatedly.
      He said Southgate — who made him England captain against North Macedonia last year — sent a supportive text message after his latest sex scandal.
      He declined to reveal details but said: “For your national team manager to reach out in a time of need goes beyond football.” More

      “I dated people that perhaps, looking back, weren’t best suited to me.”
      Model Arabella has now launched a fresh hunt for a man after returning to Love Island All Stars.
