Kyle Walker's decision not to give any presents to his children with Lauryn Goodman this Christmas has left her "utterly furious".
The Manchester City footballer is worth an estimated £27million but left out two of his children out when it came to gifts this festive season, according to reports. Influencer Lauryn and Kyle share four-year-old son Kairo, who was conceived while Kyle was separated from wife Annie Kilner, and 16-month-old daughter Kinara following an affair.
Kyle was urged to "do the right thing" by his pals when it came to presents for his children with Lauryn, however reportedly didn't provide them with any gifts. The footballer spent some of the Christmas period with his four children he shares with wife Annie Kilner, despite her filing for divorce after being repeatedly betrayed by her childhood sweetheart.
Their mutual friends have reportedly spoken to Kyle, telling the England star that they're "upset for the children". “They feel really upset for the children and for Lauryn who is always trying to do right by their kids," a source told the Sun. “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.”

@AnnieVKilner/Twitter)Lauryn hit out at Kyle's decision on her Instagram when someone asked: "Did 'that' even attempt to buy the kids [a present] for Christmas or even a card or does the ball and chain not allow…" She replied: "You said it." Lauryn previously claimed Kyle had "abandoned" their two children while a source close to Kyle previously told the Mirror that he had no option due to Lauryn's "behaviour."
It's reported that Kyle's patience with the situation is wearing thin and he's desperate for Lauryn to 'move on' and stop mentioning his name
"He has never sent [their children] Christmas or birthday presents. He did see Kairo a bit, but that was when he was trying to appease Lauryn in the hope that she wouldn't go public about Kinara. He hasn't seen him in a year," a source told The Mail.
"He is not in touch with Lauryn. She would like to be in touch with him. If there is a problem with the property, then there is a property manager who she deals with. She has to deal with his lawyer if there is anything to do with the children or family matters.
There have been a series of firewalls put in place to try and protect Kyle from the contact and the pressure so that he can move forward peacefully. But it feels as if Lauryn never will move on, she keeps on trying to make contact."
Chaos erupted last Christmasas Lauryn decided to break the news of her second child with Kyle in a text to Annie on December 27. Annie was said to be "livid and utterly heartbroken" when Lauryn reached out to her, when she was already five months pregnant with her fourth child with the Manchester City defender. Lauryn decided to take matters into her own hands after Kyle refused to tell Annie about their affair.
"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,” a source told Heat magazine. "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.”
It was previously claimed that Annie had banned Kyle from seeing his children with Lauryn, however a spokesperson for the mum-of-four told the Mirror: "The idea that Annie has banned Kyle from seeing Lauryn’s children is simply untrue. The way Lauryn has behaved towards Annie and her children has made it impossible for Kyle to forge an emotional relationship with them without protecting the privacy of his own family.
"Kyle provides for Lauryn's children financially and will continue to do so. They don’t enjoy the spectacle involving children and are frustrated that Lauryn continues to play it out so publicly without thought for the feelings of all the young ones involved."
