      Sources said confirmation he had fathered a second child with model Lauryn Goodman had “broken” her.
      She has privately vowed to divorce the England ace and has even hired Coleen Rooney’s victorious Wagatha Christie lawyer, Paul Lunt.
      But the ongoing scandal has also sparked a major family rift – with sources warning of more heartache to come.
      One told how Annie’s dad has not spoken to Kyle since April 2020 after he was unmasked as the father of Lauryn’s first child, Kairo, now three.

      The pair agreed to bury the hatchet at Christmas and even celebrated together at the Walker family home.
      But 24 hours later Kyle’s secret second baby was revealed.
      The source said: “Annie’s dad hadn’t spoken to Kyle since Kairo was born three years ago.
      “He refused to have anything to do with him.

      “They had only just got back on speaking terms in the last few months and he agreed to join the family for Christmas in Prestbury.
      “It will almost certainly be the last time.
      “When Lauryn’s messages dropped on Boxing Day, Annie’s dad hit the roof.
      “He loves his daughter with all his heart and can’t bear to see her in such pain.

      “He’s now told her he will disown her if she takes him back this time.
      “They had previously encouraged her to give it a go, despite everything, but this is the final straw.”
      The source added: “Kyle’s mum and dad are sticking by him.
      “And Annie’s parents are desperate to stand by her.
      “There’s no way she will go back to him – their marriage is over.”
      Annie spoke movingly of her upbringing in a 2020 interview with the Sun on Sunday.

      It comes as…

      She fondly recalled: “I was brought up by a loving family with good, solid morals.
      “My mum and dad are obsessed with each other and I wanted the same with Kyle.
      “But without me there he struggled to resist the temptations.
      “Like a lot of men he wanted to have his cake and eat it.”
      The couple 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.
      In 2019 it emerged he had romped with Ex On The Beach star Laura Brown in his Bentley.
      Model Annie kicked him out but gave him another chance.
      He was moving his stuff back in when he had a brief fling with Lauryn and she fell pregnant. Kyle moved out of the family home and began renting a luxury £8,000-a-month apartment in nearby Hale, Cheshire.
      He pleaded with Annie to take him back but was then exposed for breaking Covid rules by hosting a £2,200 orgy with two hookers.
      Lauryn gave birth to Kairo in April then publicly unmasked Walker as his dad.
      Annie took him back again and he proposed with a £250,000  ring.The couple wed in December 2021 at Mottram Hall, Cheshire.
      It comes as the player romped with Ex On The Beach star Laura Brown in his Bentley 4×4 and was caught having a Covid busting orgy with two hookers.
      Last March the City star was seen on CCTV exposing himself in a bar and snogging a woman.

      The happy couple were pictured smiling following the low-key ceremony in Senegal which was attended by close friends and family.
      The pair met through Mane’s agent who was friends with Aisha’s construction boss dad when she was 16, it has emerged.
      Aisha’s dad Amadou Tamba said the pair was introduced “more than two years ago” but clarified his daughter is now 18 years old amid conflicting reports she is 19 years old.
      The couple is thought to have kept their relationship secret before their wedding but Mr Tamba also said they never dated before getting married.
      READ MORE ON MANE
      He told local Univers Info: “My wife and Aisha visited their (Mane’s) family one day, and this is where he met her for the first time.
      “He probably saw something special in her and his parents appreciated her as well. They came to see me.
      “We discussed as per the tradition, agreed on everything and waited for this day to happen.
      “They were not dating because Aisha was still young.”
      Most read in Football
      The marriage was reportedly agreed when Aisha was still at school but both families decided to wait until she reached 18 – with Mane taking care of her bills.
      Mr Tamba, a constructor, added: “With the values and all that she heard about him, she accepted voluntarily. But as parents we also guided and advised her to freely make up her mind. God did what’s best for her.”
      And friends of the family said Aisha’s dad is good friends with Mane’s uncle, who acted as a go-between between the two families for a formal marriage proposal to be made.
      The couple were introduced after her constructor dad Madou Tamba met with Sadio’s agent Bacary Cisse for a project.
      The ex-Bayern Munich footballer has funded a number of charitable construction projects in his hometown Bambali, including a school, a health centre, a post office and most recently a small football stadium.
      He has also provided laptops for the school, a 4G network for the entire community and £60 (70 euros) a month for every family in his old neighbourhood.
      The pair, who are from the same area in Senegal are seen grinning in photos surrounded by friends and family during the ceremony in Dakar.
      Snaps of the wedding were shared on Instagram and received more than 85,000 likes in less than 24 hours.
      Unlike her sports star spouse, Aisha appears to remain out of the spotlight and has no presence on social media.
      Speaking to local media following the wedding, Sadio admitted 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.
      “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 18-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.

      Mane reportedly spotted his future wife when she was 16 but didn’t approach her formally at the time.

      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.

      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.”

      A wedding planner from northern Germany has been hired to put the “finishing touches” on the celebration.
      The German magazine – which carried the story on its front page – says the couple will say “I do” under an arch of flowers at the family villa.
      Corinna – the seven-time world champion’s wife- is widely reported to have bought the villa in 2017 from Real Madrid president Florentino Perez.
      A country music band is set to play live music in the evening at the open-air ceremony – with male guests encouraged to not wear ties due to the temperatures.

      Horse enthusiasts Gina and Iain went official with their relationship just over six years ago.
      They stepped out at an awards ceremony in Munich in December 2017.
      In September last year, Michael’s daughter shared a new photo on her Instagram account with her boyfriend.
      The reports about the wedding have not specified whether Michael, who turned 55 on January 3 days after the tenth anniversary of his tragic ski accident, will attend.

      In September 2020, it was claimed Schumacher was spending time at the villa in Majorca.
      Spanish press said he had been moved to the exclusive property on the upmarket estate of Las Brisas near Andratx in the southwest of the island from his Swiss home.
      Corinna reportedly purchased the villa for £27million so she could spend holidays there with her children and friends.
      The house was bought by building magnate Perez in 2005 but he put it up for sale in 2017 after the death of his wife Mari Angeles Sandoval.
      The villa is part of a 15,000 square metre estate which boasts two swimming pools, a helipad, a gym and a huge palm-tree-fringed garden.
      Schumacher was placed in a medically induced coma after a life-threatening skiing accident in December 2013 in the French Alps.
      He was relocated to the family home on the shores of Lake Geneva in September 2014.
      Updates on his health have been few and far between.
      Gina and her brother Mick wished their dad happy birthday this week with touching messages as he turned 55.
      His daughter wrote on Instagram: “Happy Birthday Papa! throwback to one of many of our adventures.”
      The post was accompanied by an image of her and her brother as children with the Formula One legend.
      Mick, 24, wrote: “Happy birthday to the best Dad ever. Love you!”
      The message showed a photo of them both wearing helmets, with a young Mick smiling and holding his thumb up as Michael looked lovingly towards him.
      Schumacher’s ex-Formula One team Mercedes also posted a birthday message urging him to “keep fighting”.
      Michael’s younger brother Ralf, who was also a F1 driver, told German newspaper Bild last week: “Nothing is like before.”
      He added: “I miss my Michael from back then. Life is sometimes unfair. Michael had been lucky many times in his life, but then the tragic accident happened.
      “Fortunately, modern medicine has made it possible to do some things.”
      His wife Corinna offered a rare insight on her husband’s state in a Netflix documentary in 2021.
      She admitted: “I miss Michael every day.

      “But it is not just me who misses him. It’s the children, the family, his father, everyone around him. I mean, everybody misses Michael, but Michael is here.
      “Different, but he’s here, and that gives us strength. We’re together. We live together at home.”
