    Kyle Walker has four children.
    He has three boys with his wife Annie — Riaan, Roman and Reign.

    Goodman had a brief relationship with the footballer in 2019.
    They conceived the youngster during their time together, when Kyle was temporarily split from his longtime partner Annie Kilner.
    After Lauryn gave birth to Kyle’s son, Annie said in 2020: “What he has done to me and our children is obscene.”
    Who is Lauryn Goodman?
    Lauryn Goodman, born on January 18, 1991, is an influencer, model and clothing brand owner.

    She is the older sister of reality TV star Chloe Goodman, who appeared on shows including Celebrity Big Brother and MTV’s Ex On The Beach.
    Lauryn is an Instagram model and goes by the handle @lauryngoodman91.
    She also founded and runs her own fashion brand — Nineteen Clothing.
    Who has Kyle Walker dated?
    Walker met Annie Kilner when he was 18 years old, while he was playing for his hometown side Sheffield United.
    She was 16 at the time and working as a model.
    In May 2019 Annie dumped Kyle for allegedly having a number of romps with Ex On The Beach’s Laura Brown.
    Reality TV star Laura told a pal she and Walker hooked up in his £200,000 Bentley 4×4.
    Laura says she then messaged model Annie about their trysts.
    She confided to a pal: “I felt Kyle had exploited me by using his power and wealth.
    “Because he is a rich footballer he felt that he could treat me how he wanted.
    “One night I just decided to do the decent thing and tell Annie what Kyle had been doing.”
    Laura told the pal she first met Walker on a night out in Manchester in September 2018.
    She added: “The following day he messaged me online and we started chatting.
    “But we first got together in March when he picked me up from my flat.
    “We then drove to a back street where he parked up and we got into the back together.”
    Laura then wrote to Annie: “He’s a rat.
    “He was always funny and a nice guy to me but when I found out he was actually with u and kids I’m not that girl to keep seeing him I no (sic) you’ve been togther (sic) long time but it’s no excuse for him.”
    When Annie demanded evidence, Laura forwarded a selfie sent to her by Walker, which showed the star in his front room.
    And when Walker discovered the two women had chatted online, Laura claims he contacted her to say: “Messaged her have you?”
    Lauryn Goodman also had a brief relationship with Walker in 2019 while he was separated from Kilner, with Lauryn giving birth to their son the following year.

    A happy Sadio spoke to local media following the Sunday wedding, admitting 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 late on Tuesday. 
    “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 19-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.
    “I called him up so that we could applaud him and wish him a happy marriage.
    “May God bless your home and your descendants. From now on you have another job apart from scoring goals.”
    The ex-Bayern Munich was seen laughing and covering his face with his hands in response to the joke alongside his teammates.

    Mane reportedly spotted his future wife when she was 16 but didn’t approach her formally at the time.
    The legal age of consent in Senegal is 16 years of age.
    Instead, he confided in his uncle, a friend of her father, which eventually led to their union,  Sports Brief reported.
    Other reports say that his new bride was 18 years old, but there are claims on social media that she is 26.
    Pulse Sports also reported that Mane had taken care of her bills when she was in school.
    The couple’s relationship is supposed to have been kept private until their wedding earlier this week, but friends, relatives, and former teammates are said to have attended the ceremony in Dakar.
    On Tuesday night, Mane and Senegal landed in Ivory Coast for AFCON to wrap up their preparations for the tournament.
    As Mane alluded to, the Lions of Teranga have been drawn into a group that includes two of their closest neighbours.
    They will begin their championship defence against Gambia, a country almost totally surrounded by Senegal, on Monday in the political capital of Yamoussoukro.
    Senegal will then face traditional powerhouses Cameroon on January 19, followed by another local derby against southern rivals Guinea on January 23, both at Yamoussoukro.
    “We are also aware of all that awaits us,” the 31-year-old said.
    “We know that it will not be easy but what is certain is that we will get there, we will do everything we can and everything that is on our side to do you proud and especially the dream of everybody, that’s to say, to retain the title and it’s what we are going to try to do.”
    He continued: “‘Above all else, I think that the first match will be very decisive.
    ” After, as you said, it’s big teams, Gambia and Guinea are derbies, also Cameroon who need no introduction, but we are also Senegal.
    “We are going to try to do the maximum.”
    The Al-Nassr star’s comments come after videos showed his new missus beaming with joy moments before tying the knot.
    Mane’s “long-term girlfriend” was filmed grinning with happiness as she left a car, surrounded by singing friends and relatives.
    Holding hands with who appears to be a family member, Aisha is also seen greeting multiple guests as the crowds guide her to the wedding venue.
    Family, friends and fellow footballers are said to have attended the ceremony in Dakar.
    Unlike her sports star spouse, Aisha appears to remain out of the spotlight and has no presence on social media.
    According to Business Day, the couple married in a mosque in Keur Massar on Sunday – located in Dakar, Senegal’s capital.
    The pair are from the same area of Senegal.
    Snaps of the wedding were shared on Instagram and received more than 85,000 likes in less than 24 hours.
    A video was also shared of the pair sat together holding hands as they posed for pictures.
    In one snap, the pair can be seen photographed in front of a decorative sign that reads ”Mrs Mane”.
    Before their nuptials, the footballer had kept the details of his relationship private.
    But back in 2022, Mane did discuss the kind of person he was looking for as a partner.
    In an Interview with Tribune, the former Liverpool forward said: “I’ve seen a lot of girls asking me why I am not married, but sorry you might be wasting your time. The woman I marry will not be on social networks.
    “I want to marry a woman who respects God and prays well. Everyone has their own way of making their choice of love.”
