Lauryn Goodman sent bombshell Christmas text to Kyle Walker's wife Annie Kilner revealing Man City defender was father of her child

Goodman and Walker have been engaged in a child maintenance battle that has recently concluded in court in favour of the Manchester City star. During the hearing, details of the footballer's private life have been revealed, including how his wife Annie Kilner discovered Walker was the father of Goodman's child through a text message received shortly after Christmas Day, as reported by the Daily Mail.

Goodman texted Kilner the following message: "Hey it’s Lauryn I just wanted to quickly tell you that Kyle is the father of our daughter."

Kilner was pregnant with Walker's fourth child at the time she received the message and was home alone as Walker was away with Manchester City. She subsequently threw Walker out of the family home and then announced in January the pair had split. Goodman told the court that the reason for the message was to "calm things down." However, the judge rejected the explanation and claimed it was intended to "cause distress" to Kilner and to "undermine" her marriage to Walker.

Walker has previously admitting to making "idiot choices" by betraying Kilner and attempting to hide the fact he'd fathered a second child with Goodman. Kilner is now believed to be willing to give Walker "one last chance" to save their marriage with the Manchester City star set to return to action shortly after playing for England at Euro 2024.
