‘Stay away from Euros’ warns Kyle Walker’s wife Annie Kilner to his ex Lauryn amid concerns scandal could impact team
KYLE Walker’s wife Annie Kilner has urged his ex-mistress to stay away from the Euros amid fears that her presence may damage England’s chances.
Senior FA officials are said to be desperate to avoid any unwelcome distractions in Germany.
And mum of four Annie, 30, fears the “relentless” focus on her husband’s tangled love life could hurt the Three Lions’ hopes of long-awaited glory.
It comes after the Sun on Sunday revealed last week that influencer Lauryn Goodman, 33, is determined to take the defender’s two kids to the tournament in June.
Annie will also be there to support Kyle, 33, with their four sons – Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, Reign, five, and newborn Rezon.
She told a friend: “Lauryn says she’ll go to Germany and, whilst that’s her right, I don’t understand why she is making it such a public affair.
“Presumably she will post images of her children wearing England shirts with ‘Daddy’ on the back.
“It will inevitably create a drama and the noise surrounding it will be an unwelcome distraction for the team.
“England has the best chance of winning a major trophy since 1966 and they don’t need this.
“Kyle is focused on what he needs to do on the pitch and that has never wavered – but the gossip off it affects me and the children.”
Sources close to the couple have accused Lauryn of fuelling the feud to boost her own profile.
In stark contrast, Annie, who gave birth two weeks ago, has remained silent.
But she is concerned about the impact the latest development will have on her kids.
Annie told the friend: “We all need some breathing space.
“The spotlight feels relentless.
“I’m trying to draw a line under everything that has happened and do my best for my children.”
Sources said the defender is also desperate for Lauryn to stay away from the Euros.

Annie’s world was shattered in December after her husband confessed to fathering a second child – a baby girl – with the Instagram influencer.
Lauryn is also mum to his four-year-old son, Kairo.
In a bombshell interview with The Sun in January, Kyle said: “The only person to blame is me.
“I have roles and responsibilities I’m aware of and I’ve made stupid choices.”
