It’s unlikely his wife – or lover – will be giving him any Father of the Year plaudits any time soon. But at least Kyle Walker’s children are still fans.
While the England footballer was a bit preoccupied on Father’s Day, his children were hard to miss in their ‘Dad’ team shirts.
The defender’s wife Annie Kilner watched England’s opening victory against Serbia with some of their four sons – one of whom was wearing an England shirt emblazoned with the word ‘Dad’ and his shirt number ‘2’.
Influencer Lauryn Goodman – with whom he has two children – also dressed their four-year-old son Kairo and ten-month-old daughter in his kit on an outing to a Sussex park.
Kyle had his first child with Lauryn, 33, in 2019 during a temporary split from childhood sweetheart Annie, 32.

The couple later reunited and got married, only for Kyle, 34, to cheat again with the influencer – who then had their second child.
Annie, who gave birth to the couple’s fourth child in April, sat on the other side of the stadium from her fellow Wags for the match on Sunday.
She has reportedly vowed not to play ‘happy families’ with the footballer at the tournament and seemingly could not force a smile when Kyle went to see her in the stands.
A source told MailOnline earlier this month ‘things have got really bad’ between the pair and Annie will fly in and out of Germany for each England match only ‘for the sake of the children’.
They added Annie ‘doesn’t want to be part of the Wag group because she doesn’t feel she’s in a proper relationship with Kyle and doesn’t want to maintain any pretence that she is’.
Last week, Kyle hit back at claims he invited his ex Lauryn to watch England’s third Euro 2024 group match.
Sources previously claimed the reality star had already booked tickets to see the Three Lions’ third group match against Slovenia later this month.
However, a source close to Kyle has told MailOnline that Lauryn was never invited to attend the match, and he is solely focused on helping England to secure their first win of the tournament.

The source said: ‘Kyle is locked down in the England camp and ready to play for the country. He wants to do the fans proud especially now he has been named Vice Captain.
‘Annie is bringing the boys to the game, they have supported Kyle in his career since day one and are looking forward to watching and joining him pitch side.
‘Kyle categorically did not invite Lauryn or any of her family to the match. Her narrative is simply untrue.’
They added: ‘Of course she’s free to enjoy the matches, as are the rest of the country but it really has nothing to do with Kyle or his family.’
The influencer was reportedly preparing to fly out for the game against Slovenia, in Cologne, on June 25.
The source told The Sun on Sunday: ‘Lauryn truly believes that Kyle will want his son there.
‘She has been given tickets and the flights have been sorted out for her to go.
‘Kairo shouldn’t have to watch his daddy playing for his country from a TV set in England — he deserves to be there.’
A spokesperson for Kyle has said: ‘Kyle is laser-focused on the games ahead so as to give the team the best possible chance of bringing home the trophy to the millions of fans watching, including his wife and their children.
‘He will not be distracted by any off pitch activity.’
Lauryn previously said she was the one who wanted everything to be public about Kyle being the father of her second child.
‘I didn’t want them [Kyle and Annie] to split up or cause harm, but it had to be out in the open for all of our sakes,’ she said then, explaining that she had Facetimed with Annie in December last year and shown her their daughter’s DNA test.
Lauryn claimed she and Kyle had been in a long relationship and Kyle had been leading a double life, playing the two women off against each other.
Kyle’s response, in an interview with The Sun on Sunday, was to call Annie his soul mate and desperately ask her to forgive him. He spoke sorrowfully of ‘idiot choices and idiot decisions’.
He also claimed that he had only slept with Lauryn twice with both infidelities resulting in a baby. He said: ‘There was no relationship. That is something Lauryn could never say.
‘We’ve never been out for food, we’ve never been to the cinema. 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.’
