Back home but children ban? Kyle Walker rumours addressed as Man City defender returns to family dwelling amid reports of being prevented from seeing kids fathered with ex-mistress Lauryn Goodman

Per a new report from the Daily Mail, Kilner has allowed Walker to move back into the family home, despite fathering two children with Goodman. Goodman has been vocal on social media about the relationship, even leaking WhatsApp messages in which she discussed the paternity of the children with the Manchester City star, but the Daily Mail claims Kilner has banned Walker from seeing them.

The Mail quotes a source who claims: "The paramount rule - an unbreakable one - is an agreement that neither Kyle nor Annie will engage in any way with Lauryn Goodman or her children."

The source added: "This isn't just a matter of trust, but also, as we shall see, a response to Lauryn's behaviour, particularly online, which has been distressing for the couple and for their children. Neither Kyle nor Annie follow her on social media, and friends are asked not to repeat the stories she rehearses on her social media channels, or on television or in other interviews."

The Mirror also quotes a source claiming that any contact between Walker and his children is "done through the proper legal channels."

Goodman previously accused Walker of "playing a sick game" with her and Kilner. She has also previously vowed to reveal more information about her relationship with the right-back.

On the pitch, Walker played 90 minutes as City beat Brentford 2-1 on Saturday. They will next be in action against Inter in the Champions League on Wednesday.
