Annie, who was pregnant with Rezon at the time, swiftly kicked the £150,000-a-week defender out of their family home.

In an exclusive interview with The Sun soon after his second love child was revealed, Kyle publicly apologised to his estranged wife.He spoke of his desire to save the marriage and described Annie as his “soulmate”.She was later at the Etihad Stadium to support him as City won the title for a record fourth time in a row.And she attended all but one of England’s matches at the Euros in Germany.But Lauryn also travelled to one of them with their son, Kairo, four.This comes as Lauryn claimed her ex lover Kyle wanted to bed her on a date in a London hotel room — days before he said publicly he regretted their “mistake” of a relationship.The pair were embroiled in a bitter court battle in July, which saw the Celebrities Go Dating star slammed by a judge. It was even revealed the ex-mistress had been using the footballer as an “open-ended cheque book” after giving birth to JKairo.

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.“There have been days in this ordeal where I’ve just wanted to curl up in a ball and go to 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.“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.“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.“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.“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.“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.”Annie ordered the £150,000-a-week star to leave the family home in Cheshire and since ditched her wedding ring after learning of his second child with Lauryn More
