Kyle Walker slammed for forgetting Christmas presents for Lauryn Goodman kids: 'It's really sad'

Kyle Walker has been slammed by 'mutual friends' for not getting his and Lauryn Goodman's children anything for Christmas.

The disgraced Manchester City defender, 34, fathered two children with influencer Lauryn, while in an on/off relationship with wife Annie Kilner. He shares four children with Annie, 33, and reportedly managed to spend a few hours with them on Christmas Day before heading off to training.

But despite his £27 million fortune, the footballer reportedly decided not to get his two children with Lauryn anything to open on Christmas Day. Last December, Christmas descended in to chaos, when Lauryn dropped the a Boxing Day bombshell by texting Annie to say her second child's father was also Kyle.

This year, despite Lauryn's best efforts, both Kairo and Kinara have been left out in the cold, with Kyle focusing on his family with Annie Kilner. He spent some of the Christmas period with them, despite Annie filing for divorce after being repeatedly betrayed by her childhood sweetheart.

A source has now told the Sun that all their mutual friends have spoken to Kyle, telling the England star that they're "upset for the children". The source said: "They were hoping Kyle would put aside his differences for the sake of the children. But to leave them with nothing to open for another year is just really sad."

They added that the pair's mutual friends were told that the children would be getting presents this year. They are hoping he'll "do the right thing" and deliver them some gifts over the next few weeks.

Meanwhile, a source close to Kyle has said that the Sheffield native does provide financially for his children, adding: “He’s never been a part of Lauryn’s Christmas celebrations with the children. There’s no reason this year would be any different."

The Mirror has contacted both Lauryn and Kyle's reps for comment.

Annie Kilner was left "livid and utterly heartbroken" last December when Lauryn reached out to her to drop the news that she had two children with Annie's husband. At the time, Annie was already five months pregnant with her and Kyle's fourth baby, but Lauryn decided it was a good time to give her the news of their affair.

While navigating pregnancy and a fourth baby, Annie tried to work through their issues, but ultimately, it was too much for her. Annie served him divorce papers in October after months of attempting to salvage their relationship. This year, the mum-of-four wanted a drama-free festive season.

A source told Heat magazine: "Annie and Kyle will be together this Christmas with their kids, but things are still up in the air. Just when they think they are making progress, Lauryn pipes up and causes trouble. Annie’s Christmas was ruined last year, and she is determined to enjoy this one, but she is terrified Lauryn will try something else to disrupt their lives. It’s going to be tough."
