Kyle Walker denies buying personalised football shirts for the two young children he shares with Lauryn Goodman.
The 34-year-old Manchester City player and his wife Annie Kilner share Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, Reign, five, and five-month-old baby Rezon. He also has 13-month-old Kinara and four-year-old Kairo after an affair with Lauryn.
He became embroiled in a paternity scandal and a lawsuit after it emerged that he had fathered two children with the model.
When England competed in the European Championship this summer, Lauryn dressed her son Kairo and daughter Kinara in full football kit, while the boys Kyle shares with Annie were also seen at matches wearing his number 2 shirt.
She previously claimed the footballer had bought the kits for Kairo and Kinara, but a source has now told MailOnline that he had not personalised the shirts, but that Lauryn had done it herself.

The Manchester City player, 34, and his wife Annie Kilner share Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, Reign, five, and five-month-old baby Rezon. He also has 13-month-old Kinara and, Kairo, four, after an affair with Lauryn
They explained, “Kyle bought a simple set for Kairo and then Lauryn went and bought another one for Kinara.
“She had them both personalized with Daddy and his number itself. That aspect had nothing to do with Kyle.”
MailOnline has contacted Lauryn’s representative for comment.
Lauryn took Kairo to see his father Kyle play in Germany and received both praise and criticism for her decision.
The influencer attended England’s match against Denmark at the Deutsche Bank Park stadium in Frankfurt in June and was photographed with Kairo, who was waving the English flag, in her arms as she arrived at the stadium.
While some social media users felt Lauryn “should have stayed away” from the competition, others praised Lauryn for going.
Although Annie attended every England match, she apparently vowed ‘no happy families’ with her husband in Germany after Kyle admitted he was Kinara’s father.
Annie sat with other WAGs to support her husband, while Lauryn sat in a separate stand with her grandfather.
“I can’t tell you how excited he was,” Lauryn said in an exclusive interview with the Mail. “He was jumping up and down.”

She said her main motivation behind the trip to Frankfurt was to fulfill a promise Kyle made to their son in 2022 – when she was secretly pregnant with their second child – and he was playing at the World Cup in Qatar.
‘Kyle told him on a FaceTime call that he would make sure he was at the next tournament because [Kyle] grew older and he knew that there might be no more possibilities.
“There was no way I wasn’t going to take Kairo to the European Championships,” Lauryn said. “There was no way I wasn’t going to honor the promise Kyle made to his son. This could have been his last chance, so I wanted it to be something Kairo could remember forever.
‘We’re not here to please other people. It’s about Kairo and what’s best for him and what’s going to make him happy.
“I am not being scapegoated or bullied or made to feel like a villain. My children are my number one priority and they always will be. Fortunately, I am a strong wife and mother to them.”
The affair began when Lauryn met Kyle in 2019, when he was away from Annie.
Despite his infidelity and the birth of their son Kairo, Kyle and Annie remained together in Cheshire, while Lauryn raised her son hundreds of miles away in Brighton.

Last December, it was revealed that the daughter Lauryn gave birth to last summer was also Kyle’s.
Annie kicked Kyle out of their family home in Prestbury, Cheshire, and he moved into a flat nearby.
After Annie gave birth to their fourth son in April, they began to repair their marriage, reportedly on the condition that Kyle cut off all contact with Lauryn and their children.
Meanwhile, Lauryn is raising her children as a single mother in a £2.4million home in Hove, East Sussex, which Kyle bought for them as part of his maintenance obligations.
