      Lauryn has not revealed the father of her newborn, but pals believe him to be a footballer
      A source told The Sun on Sunday: ‘The baby girl is adorable. Very placid and feeding constantly’
      Lauryn, 32, has not revealed the father of her newborn, but pals believe him to be a footballer.
      She fell pregnant with Kairo in 2019 while Kyle was on a temporary split from wife Annie — the mother of his three older sons.
      Of the new arrival, a source told The Sun on Sunday: “Lauryn hasn’t said who the baby’s father is.
      “Her friends think it is a footballer and have asked her outright — but she won’t tell anybody.

      “The baby girl is adorable. Very placid and feeding constantly.
      “She has a huge amount of hair — a full head just like Kairo had when he was born.”
      Before the arrival of her daughter, influencer and ex-Towie star Lauryn was asked if she would reveal the dad’s identity.
      She replied: “It’s not a case of revealing, but it will be known when the time is right.”

      Lauryn also hasn’t disclosed the name of her newborn daughter.
      The source added: “She’s still trying to choose a name but is going to pick something beginning with K — just like older brother Kairo.
      “It took nearly a year before she publicly revealed Kairo’s name.
      “But she had privately decided on Kairo and had a necklace made up with the initials KW — which are the same as his dad’s — long before she made it public.
      “So I expect she won’t rush into revealing her daughter’s name either.
      “But she has asked her followers on Instagram for their thoughts about a girl’s name beginning with K.
      “Lauren is a brilliant mum.
      “She dotes on Kairo and is absolutely thrilled that this one is a little girl, one of each.”
      Lauryn was involved in a public spat with Kyle’s wife in June after Annie posted a photo on social media following Manchester City’s win in the Champions League final.
      The snap featured Kyle and their three children — Riaan, Roman and Reign — on the pitch captioned: “3 is the magic number.”
      Annie wrote: “Winning the champions league with your daddy.
      “All these memories you get to have with your daddy.
      “Nothing and no one will ever take that from you. We’ve got you 3.”
      Lauryn, who lives in Hove, East Sussex, hit back, saying that Kyle had four sons and Kairo should not be “eradicated from existence”.
      She added: “He is Kyle’s son.
      “He doesn’t just have three sons.
      “Annie needs to accept that.
      “Families come in all shapes and sizes these days, stepchildren, estranged children.
      “It is the job of the parents to act like adults and do the best for them, that’s what I try to do.
      “Annie, if you are reading this, just stop being so cruel to Kairo because our little boy has done nothing wrong and doesn’t deserve to have you so vindictively making digs at him and treating him like an outcast.”
      “When Annie got back with Kyle she knew I was pregnant.
      “If she couldn’t handle the fact he was going to have another child she should never have got back with him.”
      Annie and £150,000-a-week Kyle — a transfer target of German side Bayern Munich — have been together since they were teenagers.
      They split in 2019 after reality star Laura Brown revealed that she had romped with Kyle in his £200,000 Bentley.
      He moved out of the £3.5million family home in Cheshire and grew close to Lauryn.

      She fell pregnant and Kairo was born in April 2020.
      Kyle and Annie then rekindled their relationship and got married in November 2021, after he proposed to her with a diamond ring.

      And after Everton’s Dele Alli bravely opened up about his own harrowing childhood trauma, Pennant has appeared on talkSPORT to discuss his own problematic past.
      The ex-Birmingham and Stoke winger revealed how he was abandoned by his parents and called “Cornflake Kid” by bullies at school.
      He then went on to say: “I was abandoned by my mother when I was three, my father had me on weekends and when he took me back and my mum was never there.

      “My father raised me to the best of his abilities and I was around six or seven, he then neglected me.
      “Then my dad got into drugs, people coming in an out of the house, I’d say he was an addict. So I had no mum, no father, surrounded by drugs, guns and crime.”
      Pennant, who has been diagnosed with ADHD and has since turned his life around after undergoing therapy, then explained how that childhood trauma followed him throughout his career.
      He added: “I couldn’t handle certain situations.

      “When I signed for Liverpool, in my second year I spoke to my agent. Obviously as a Liverpool fan from a kid, it was a dream come true. But I had a conversation where I said, ‘I don’t know why I’m unhappy, I don’t understand it’.
      “I’ve got everything I want, an amazing house, play for the club I’ve dreamed about as a little kid but I was depressed. Because I had so much hurt and trauma as a child that I never got over.
      “It was causing me so much pain and when things weren’t going great on the pitch, I’d unleash it in any way possible.
      “I’d want to go out, to be around people, I’d try anything as pain relief, to get drunk, binge drink, to numb the pain.” More

      Kehinde Alli is a Nigerian businessman.
      Denise and Kehinde are no longer together but met in a nightclub while he was studying for a Master’s at De Montford University.
      The pair had a whirlwind romance and tied the knot before having their son Dele.
      After around three years of marital issues, Dele’s parents separated, with Kehinde now married to someone else.
      Who are Dele Alli’s foster parents, Alan and Sally Hickford?
      At the age of 13, Dele moved into the family home of Alan and Sally Hickford after his biological mum struggled with alcohol issues.
      He tends to refer to them as his “adoptive parents” although he was never legally adopted by them.
      Dele was friends with the Hickford’s son Harry who was also a keen footballer, with the two of them going on to play for MK Dons Academy.
      Speaking about the Hickford’s he said: “By 12 I was adopted but from then it was like I was adopted by an amazing family.
      “I couldn’t have asked for better people to do what they done for me.
      “If God created people it was them – they were amazing and have helped me a lot.
      “When I was living with them it was hard for me to open up to them because I felt like it was easy for them to get rid of me.”
      In 2016 Dele decided to change his name on the reverse of his match shirt from Alli to Dele, due to feeling “no connection” to the Alli surname.
      Tottenham explained on their website at the time that while Alli will retain the number 20 shirt, he had chosen to have the name ‘DELE’ displayed on his match shirts.
      Dele said: “I wanted a name on my shirt that represented who I am and I feel I have no connection with the Alli surname.

      And opened up about his traumatic experiences as a child.
      He said: “When I was six I was molested by mum’s friend… because my mum was an alcoholic.
      “That happened at six.”

      “If God created people it was them – they were amazing and have helped me a lot.
      “When I was living with them it was hard for me to open up to them because I felt like it was easy for them to get rid of me.”
      It comes as Alli, 27, found himself on a downward spiral after returning to England from Turkey, excessively drinking and consuming sleeping pills.
      And in a desperate bid to get himself back on the straight and narrow, he checked himself into a rehab facility.
      He explained: “When I came back from Turkey I found out I needed an operation I was in a bad place mentally and I decided to go to a modern day rehab facility for mental health.
      “They deal with addiction and trauma. I felt it was time for me.
      “You can’t be told to go there – you have to know and make the decision yourself or it’s not going to work.
      “I was caught in a bad cycle and things that were doing me harm.”
      And he admits he contemplated hanging up his boots three years ago at the age of 24.
      The former Tottenham man said: “One morning I woke up and I had to go training.
      “I remember staring in the mirror and I was asking if I could retire now. At 24. Doing the thing I love.
      “For me that was heartbreaking.”
      He added: ‘It’s always been me against myself in everything.
      “I was winning the fight, showing I was happy. But inside, I was losing the battle.”
      Alli’s girlfriend Cindy Kimberly this morning led messages of support after her boyfriend opened up.
      She wrote on Twitter: “Proud of you.”
      And Prince William congratulated Dele for being “brave and inspirational”.
      He said: “Discussing mental health is not a sign of weakness. Let’s keep the conversation going.
      “We’re all with you and we wish you the very best.”
      James Maddison, who recently signed to Spurs, also shared his support for Alli.
      He posted a still from the interview on his Instagram stories, writing “Love you brother” followed by a heart emoji.
      Ryan Sessegnon, who played alongside Alli during his time at Tottenham, said: “Love you brother. Proud.”
      Spurs captain and England teammate Harry Kane liked the post along with Declan Rice and Kieran Trippier.
      While Kyle Walker-Peters wrote: “So proud of you bro, love you.”

      Overlap host Neville, who coached the star during his time with England and was seen close to tears himself during the interview, shared a tweet afterwards.
      He called it “the most emotional, difficult yet inspirational conversation I’ve ever had in my life”.
      Alli was one of the first Everton players to return to pre-season training last week.
      But manager Sean Dyche recently refused to be drawn on the midfielder’s future shortly after his arrival at Goodison Park.
      In April, he said: “He is not here. He has an injury which will keep him out for some time.
      “Some of the stuff reported – they know what they should and shouldn’t be doing.
      “As a manager, you cannot control everything in their lives.
