Kyle Walker risks explosive showdown between wife Annie and Lauryn Goodman after ‘inviting’ ex and two kids to Euros”The legal implications of releasing a tell all book is damming and it would be unlikely that it would be approved for publication considering the false narrative that Lauryn has relentlessly spun.”Earlier this month it was revealed that Kyle had reportedly been welcomed back home by Annie following their split.The Manchester City defender, 33, relocated to a home close by, but now he has returned to their £3.5m family home in Cheshire. A source told MailOnline: “Kyle is now living back with the Annie and the kids as they try and put their difficulties behind them and get their marriage back on track.”She needs a lot of help around the house and a lot of emotional support. Kyle’s very happy that he’s back in the family home but things are still very strained between them.”The Sun revealed in January that Annie had kicked Kyle out of the family’s £3.5million home in Cheshire.But Annie gave birth last month with the England footballer right by her side.READ MORE SUN STORIESKyle and Annie are also parents to Roman, 11, Riaan, seven and Reign, five.The pair started dating in their teens.Inside Kyle & Annie’s RelationshipAnnie Kilner and Kyle Walker started dating in their teens.
    The brunette beauty said: “When we started going out it was love at first sight.”
    They were together for over nine years before splitting in May 2019.
    Walker then became a dad for the fourth time after a short-term relationship with Lauryn Goodman.
    Despite the challenges in their relationship, Walker and Kilner put their troubles behind them and got married at the beginning of 2022 after the England star proposed with a £250,000 engagement ring.

For over 20 years we have been able to play shows all around our ‘home away from home’ and we’re excited to see old friends and fans on this run.   “We’ve watched CKY as fans through the years but have never had the pleasure to meet and tour with them.

We never had a problem playing music together since we were kids. “We have that commonality of influences and inside jokes and all that stuff.Most read in Music”I think it all plays into rhythm that plays between people.
