    Annie is mum to three of Kyle Walker’s children and is now expecting a fourth
    Kyle said he has chosen to break his silence on the scandal for the sake of his family.
    In an open and honest conversation with The Sun, he said: “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 recalled meeting his wife Annie, who has now taken off her wedding ring, when he was just 17-years-old.
    The childhood sweethearts have since welcomed three sons, and are expecting a fourth.
    “I never envisaged my private life being like this. I never thought I would be a father of six,” he added.
    Now, the devastated dad said his heartbreaks every time he has to say “goodnight” to his son over Facetime – as he lives alone in a rented £3million property nearby.

     “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.”
    TAKING RESPONSIBILITY
    Kyle took full ownership over the pain caused by his secret fling with Lauryn.
    He also apologised to Annie, mum to three of his children and confessed “the only person to blame is me”.
    The footballer confessed his struggle with coming to terms with everything since the bombshell Boxing Day revelation.
    Kyle said there are times he just wants to “curl up in a ball and sleep”.
    “The only person to blame is me. I have roles and responsibilities that I’m aware of and I’ve made stupid choices. But I need to own up to my mistakes — I owe it to everyone,” he added.
    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.”

    “My actions have caused a lot of pain to a lot of people. I’m sorry because, as a family, this isn’t meant to happen.”
    “What I’ve done is horrible and I take full responsibility,” he added.
    “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.”
    He said despite his football achievements, he can’t understand how he could hurt his “best friend” so deeply.
    “That’s something I need to find in myself,” said Kyle.
    “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.

    It comes as…

    “The ones off the field are definitely more damaging and have been more hurtful to me.”
    The England Ace insisted “family comes before anything on this planet”.
    It comes after Lauryn gave birth to a son and later publicly named Kyle as the dad in April 2020,
    He was thrown out of the family home and moved into a rented £8,000-a-month pad.
    But, his wife rekindled their relationship for the sake of their children.
    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.
    Lauryn then revealed she was expecting their second baby, in early November, and Kyle tried to keep everything under wraps.

    “My actions have caused a lot of pain to a lot of people. I’m sorry because, as a family, this isn’t meant to happen,” he added.
    Kyle also insisted that there had never been a relationship between himself and Lauryn when they first met in his early 20s.
    But, in April 2020, Lauryn gave birth to a son a nd later publicly named Kyle as the dad.
    After a brief stint living in a rented £8,000-a-month pad when Annie threw him out, Kyle was welcomed back into the family for the sake of the children.
    However, despite vowing no contact with Lauryn, he met his son Kairo for the first time in August 2022 when they relocated closer to the Man City defender.
    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.
    By the beginning of November, Lauryn had informed Kyle she was pregnant with their second baby.
    He recounted the moment he nearly fainted and turned “white” when she told him over the phone as he prepped for a session at the training ground.
    Kyle also recalled how playing football amid the pressure was a “release” and said he tried to keep the news secret because he’s “a private person”.

    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.

    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.”

    Roma celebrated her second birthday last November, while Luis’s dad was still being held by kidnappers in their native Colombia.
    Geraldine also posted a message from a relative on social media which said: “Welcome my beautiful Charlotte. God bless you. And congratulations mummy and daddy.”

    “On our seventh anniversary, April 25, we decided it was time to see our family grow.
    “Just a month later, also on the 25th, this time in May, we received the news that we did not expect to hear so soon, our baby was already with us.

    “Charlotte has arrived to fill us with laughter, love and unforgettable moments. Now the 25th of each month belongs to her. Welcome our magical princess.”
    The footballer’s father Luis Manuel Díaz Jimenez, 58, feared he wouldn’t make it out alive as he endured a terrifying 12-day ordeal after being kidnapped by ELN guerrillas in Colombia.
    He was freed in a handover involving a Colombian priest close to the Venezuelan border on November 9 last year.
    His son continued playing through the harrowing episode, scoring a late goal after coming on as a substitute in Liverpool’s November 5 win over Luton.
    He then returned to Colombia to be reunited with his dad in emotional scenes following his release.
    He went on to score two goals for his country in a historic victory over Brazil in a match his father watched from the stands.
    The ELN, branded a terrorist organisation by the US government and the EU, admitted responsibility for the kidnapping before Luis Manuel’s release.
    Four alleged members of a gang called Los Primos, said to have carried out the kidnap and handed Mr Diaz over to a regional ELN unit called the Northern War Front, were subsequently arrested and are believed to be still in prison awaiting trial.

    Walker was dumped earlier this week after his wife Annie Kilner was sent a Boxing Day message revealing a “second love child” with Lauryn.
    The model is understood to have bluntly written: “I don’t have two baby daddies — I have one.”
    Kyle, 33, was then dumped by his wife after admitting he was the father.
    Snaps show Lauryn today cradling her daughter, whose name is unknown, in her arms as she enjoyed a kick about with her son Kairo, three.

    She wore a luminous orange bikini and dressed her young family in matching Burberry designer outfits.
    Lauryn and her two kids flew first class on January 13 as they escaped the drama surrounding Kyle.
    It comes after Lauryn revealed to the Sun on Sunday the Man City and England right back had gaslit her in a “toxic” relationship – saying he had lived a double life.
    And model Lauryn told how she took matters into her own hands after months of begging the footballing ace to come clean to his wife.

    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.

    “My father always told me I would never know what it is to love someone like you love a child until you have him and since you came along you are my reason to smile and be happy every day.
    “Dad loves you more than anything in this world, I’ll always take care of you.”

    Man-child Kyle Walker needs to take a long, hard look at himself and grow the hell up like Harry Kane

    JUDGING by his presence in both the England and Man City teams, footballer Kyle Walker’s sporting brain appears to be in full working order.But when it comes to emotional intelligence, he’s clearly cerebrally challenged.

    How else has he ended up with five children by two different women, both of whom are furious with him?
    Stage left is his wife Annie, mother of three of his children and, according to The Sun yesterday, now pregnant with their fourth.
    Stage right is “lover” Lauryn Goodman, who recently revealed that not only was her three-year-old son fathered by Kyle, but her baby daughter, too.
    And centre stage is Kyle, who is known for his “pace, strength and vision” on the pitch but, off it, was seemingly as blind as a bat to the emotional perils that lay ahead because he couldn’t keep it in his trousers.
    READ MORE ON KYLE WALKER
    Reality star Lauryn, 32, says: “I kept saying to Kyle . . . ‘You need to tell her’ . . . If everyone knows where they stand they can make their own adult choices in life.
    “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.”
    But Kyle did nothing and failed to anticipate what any adulterous schmuck knows — that Christmas is a potential flashpoint when you’re playing away.
    Particularly when your lover is facing the festive season as a single parent while her “baby daddy” is off playing happy families with his wife and other children.
    Most read in Football
    Lauryn explains that, following a legal meeting in December, “it came to a head” and she realised he was playing her and Annie off against each other.
    So, the day after Boxing Day, while Kyle was, er, playing away at Everton, she lobbed her emotional hand grenade into the cosy, post-Christmas idyll of Chez Walker and made a call to Annie.
    “She kept asking for proof, so I showed her the DNA test . . . she was trying to piece it all together . . . how he did it,” says Lauryn.
    To add insult to injury, she reveals that Kyle would regularly call her from the England dressing room and . . . “I wasn’t a secret to his England teammates — they would come on the phone when he FaceTimed me.”
    Very classy, chaps. Annie has now announced she is separating from Kyle after 12 years together (two of them married) and Kyle has publicly apologised to her for “the upset I’ve caused”, as though he’d simply caused a scene in a restaurant rather than fathered two secret children by another woman.
    Annie deserves better and I hope she eventually finds someone who treats her respectfully, but if she is pregnant again, her emotions will be raging and make it harder to see a future without the father of her children. So watch this space.
    In the meantime, Kyle needs to take a long, hard look at himself and grow the hell up.
    When it comes to women, life as a Premier League footballer is akin to being a kid in a sweetie shop.
    If you’re a single, teenage star, it’s perhaps understandable that you take your pick, but even an 18/19-year-old knows that, whatever contraception the woman says she’s using, the use of a condom is an extra layer of protection if you don’t want an unplanned baby and years of legal wrangling.
    Kyle is 33, for God’s sake. So perhaps it’s time for this man-child to take note of the example given by his 30-year-old teammate and England captain Harry Kane, whose longevity in the game is undoubtedly bolstered by his loyalty to his wife and children and the subsequent lack of drama in his personal life.
    Ditto his England manager Gareth Southgate, who has been happily married for 26 years.
    In June 2018, the manager warned his ­players about cheating in a meeting before a 2-1 victory over Nigeria at Wembley.
    “It’s not that we are looking to get away with anything, but if we thought we could then that option has gone.
    “We have to be vigilant in all areas of the pitch.”
    He was talking about football, of course. But, in Kyle’s case, it’s sound life advice, too.

    GIVE US POWER TO ACT
    WHEN we speak of an “institution” and its failings, it’s easy to forget that it’s inanimate.
    It’s only as good, or not, as the people working within it.
    The jury’s still out on whether Post Office investigator Stephen Bradshaw was useless or ruthless after he as accused of behaving like a ‘Mafia gangster’Credit: postofficehorizoninquiry
    Some of its staff can make it efficient and fair, others can make it sluggish and incompetent, while the worst people of all can make it corrupt.
    And the sheer size of certain institutions means there are plenty of hiding places for these human failings committed, often wilfully, by people who, as long as their lives are cushioned by job security, sick pay and a fat pension etc, don’t give a flying fig about the havoc they wreak on others.
    The jury’s out on whether Post Office investigator Stephen Bradshaw was useless or ruthless, but at the public inquiry into the Horizon IT scandal, he and his colleagues were accused of behaving “like Mafia gangsters” towards the postmasters wrongly accused of taking money.
    The gimlet-eyed Mr Bradshaw denies it, but he allegedly “hounded” one woman in more than 60 calls and called her a “bitch” in “extremely distressing” conversations.
    Surely it’s time for MPs – the cogs of that other inanimate body known as “Parliament” – to give ordinary people the power and resources to robustly defend themselves against these “institutional failings”?

    “BOOMERANG tourism” is reportedly a big thing for 2024 – with millennial adult children planning to rejoin their parents for holidays.
    Hmmm. Ask your kids, “Are you free in the summer?” and chances are you’ll get: “Not sure yet. What are you planning?”
    If you say, “a week’s camping in the UK” then they’re busy.
    But if you mention a tropical beach and cocktails, their commitments mysteriously vaporise.
    Luck of the drawers, Geri
    GERI Horner says she nearly missed out on early auditions for the Spice Girls after getting bad sunburn on holiday and a face full of blisters.
    But she adds: “I’ve always been a queue-jumper.”
    Geri Horner has revealed that her little hotpants were her key to stardomCredit: Getty
    So she called up the producers, who agreed to see her and, despite not being a trained singer or dancer, she says she “made up for it in enthusiasm”.
    Good for her. But one imagines there were plenty of other enthusiastic souls warbling and hoofing their way to wannabe stardom, too, so why did she make the cut?
    She adds that she was “quite quirky, in my little hotpants”.
    Mystery solved.
    TIP’S A CHOC SHOCK
    HAVING just spent a few days in New York, I was shocked by the level of tipping expected.
    It’s a form of legalised mugging.

    Even if you buy an orange juice “to go”, you’re handed a contactless machine that gives the minimum option of a 20 per cent sweetener to the till operator on top of the extortionate mark-up you’re already paying.
    Gulp.
    But the moment that rendered me utterly speechless was when I used a self-service checkout to buy a chocolate bar at Newark Airport, and even the machine asked me if I would like to leave it a tip.
    I told it not to bet on Chelsea winning the Premier League.

    A FAN of Morecambe and Wise lost his job at a bus company after managers failed to see the funny side when he and a colleague replicated the comedy duo’s famous kitchen “striptease”.
    It was meant as a “jovial Christmas act”, but he was sacked for “gross misconduct” and has subsequently taken CE Jeatt & Sons of Windsor to tribunal and won more than £50,000 in compensation for wrongful dismissal.

    It comes after Lauryn was seen fleeing the country with suitcases covered in her children’s initials at Gatwick Airport.
    The 32-year-old showed off her figure in a cropped jumper and black leggings as she checked in three suitcases – branded with ‘KW’.
    Walker was dumped earlier this week after his wife Annie was sent a message about a “second love child” with Lauryn.

    The model is understood to have bluntly written: “I don’t have two baby daddies — I have one.”
    Kyle, 33, was then dumped by his wife after admitting he was indeed the father.
    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”.
    But on Boxing Day Kyle’s betrayal finally caught up with him.
    In an online statement, Annie wrote: “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.
    “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.”
    Walker released his own statement in a public Instagram apology.
    The post read: “Annie is an amazing woman and I can only apologise for the upset I’ve caused her.
