After being involved in a case that shook England after it came to light that he was unfaithful to his wife and had two other parallel relationships, the Manchester City figure, Kyle Walkerbroke the silence and not only assumed his responsibilities, but also showed total regret for what happened.
The player, who wears the captain’s ribbon in Pep Guardiola’s team, was involved in the love scandal when his wife, Anni Kilnerwho is pregnant with her fourth child in common with the player, confirmed their separation through social networks, after learning that in parallel she had had a second baby with her lover, Lauryn Goodman.
“It was a slow death for me and Annie. “I’m sorry for having a second child with Lauryn and hurting my best friend,” confirmed the England national team defender in an interview with the British media. The Sun.
Walker acknowledges that he took “stupid choices and decisions” that led to him forming a parallel life, beyond “I never imagined I would have six children” in their life.
“What I did is horrible and I take full responsibility.. I can’t begin to think or imagine what Annie is going through. I tried to ask her but there is pain… The man who should love her, care for her and be there for her did this to her. I’m sorry because as a family this should not happen.“Admitted the 33-year-old footballer, who defined his wife as “his soulmate.”
And I add: “I let down Annie and my kids, I let down my mom and dad, and my grandma.“But he made it clear: “Now I just have to be the best father possible.”
Annie, who is due to have her new baby in March, found out about her husband’s parallel life when Lauryn sent her an image of Walker with the two children they had together on Instagram, attaching DNA evidence that showed the relationship of the defender with the little ones.
However, Walker tried to make it clear that, despite knowing Lauryn since he was 20, he never had a formal relationship with her, on which he based: “I admit that Lauryn was a friend for a long time. We have never gone out to eat. We have never been to the cinema Would she know how many sugars I add to the coffee, if I add sugar? “She couldn’t tell.”
At the time, Annie forgave Walker about his first infidelity, added to other scandals of parties and sexual encounters in which he was involved. The player, when in 2020 he had his first child with Lauryn, decided to tell the truth to his wife, promising that he would never see her lover again and would only take care of the financial arrangements for paternity. . However, at the end of 2022 it would be when both secretly resumed contact..
Near the start of the World Cup in Qatar was when her lover told Walker the news of her new pregnancy. “I remember walking up the stairs at the training ground when I got a phone call from her. I was with the physio at the time. I almost fainted. I was just blank,” she recalled in the interview.
However, Walker was aware that he could not hide the situation for much longer. “I knew something was going to happen when I returned from the Club World Cup with City. I was aware that time was running out and I still decided not to tell Annie. I was selfish. I didn’t tell her because I wanted to be with her and the children. I felt like I had to lie to her because I knew that if she told the truth everything was going to explode.. “It was a double-edged sword, between having a clear conscience and losing my family.”
Walker even revealed that in the last transfer market, Despite not wanting to leave Manchester City, he tried to be transferred to Bayern Munich in order to leave England and get away from the press in case his lie came to light.. Finally, the negotiations did not come to fruition and the player is grateful for this, since “now he would be alone in Germany and would not be able to take the children to school.”
Despite having kept his situation hidden for more than a year, Walker never spoke about it to Pep Guardiola due to the possibility that the Spaniard “thought he was not mentally there.”
Now, as difficult as it may be, Walker seeks to be forgiven by Annie, about whom he simply has words of devotion when referring to her. “Whatever happens, she will be my best friend until she dies. I will fully respect her decision. I can’t change the past, but I hope I can change the future,” explained the footballer, to whom the gossip press in England attributes, to top it off, , a third relationship in parallel.
And he closed: “She’s a fantastic mother. Recently, she let me call her phone, which has been a big help. It just shows what a mother she is to the children. She doesn’t want to take that away from me.”
