Lauryn Goodman, the mother of two young children with footballer Kyle Walker, is reportedly preparing to move to Italy next week to be closer to her former partner,
who is currently playing for AC Milan.
This decision has sparked further tension between Kyle and his wife, Annie Kilner,
who are said to be facing significant difficulties in their marriage, with reports claiming that the couple is now “barely talking” and are staying in separate rooms.
Kyle, 34, recently made the move abroad to play for AC Milan, and his relationship with Annie, 33, has been under strain for some time, especially following the revelation last year
that Kyle is the father of both of Lauryn’s children—four-year-old Kairo and 12-month-old Kinara.
The news of Lauryn’s potential move to Italy, where Kyle is now based, has reportedly added to the growing tensions between the couple.
A source speaking to *The Sun* explained that Lauryn’s decision to move was motivated by a desire to be closer to Kyle, but it was also seen as an opportunity for a fresh start with her children. “Lauryn wants to be as accommodating as she can. She always wants to do the best for her children,” the insider said. The source continued by mentioning that Lauryn was pleased when Kyle signed with an Italian club, as opposed to a potential move to Saudi Arabia, which she felt would be “too far” and “more final.” Italy, in comparison, felt much closer to home.
Lauryn, who has previously expressed mixed feelings about the idea of moving abroad, seems to have had a change of heart. Last week, she publicly shared her uncertainty about relocating, even admitting that she could care less about where Kyle was based, saying, “For the last year, I wished to have the option to move abroad because, with all of the drama, I’d like a life reset. But I’m not sure how that looks for us at the minute or what that entails.” She had also said, “It makes no difference to me where [Kyle] is, he could be on Mars right now for all I care,” indicating that she wasn’t particularly concerned about his location.
However, it appears that Lauryn has now chosen to pursue this move in the best interest of her children and her own well-being. A source close to her added that Lauryn is excited about starting a new chapter in Italy, indicating her readiness for “new adventures” with her children, away from the pressures of their current situation.
This shift in Lauryn’s plans could create further complications for Kyle and Annie’s already strained relationship. Sources suggest that their marriage has been on the rocks since last year, when Annie filed for divorce after discovering that Kyle had secretly fathered two children with Lauryn. While Annie and Kyle reportedly spent Christmas together as a family, they have yet to make a final decision about their future.
Friends of the couple have indicated that their marriage remains as difficult as ever, with the recent move to Italy said to be an attempt by Kyle and Annie to reset their relationship in a new environment. An insider revealed, “This is a good opportunity to put things behind them and make a go of it as a family unit. It will be a challenge in a new country, but they are willing to give it a go.” However, the move to Italy is also seen as a way for Kyle to try for a “clean break” from the turmoil that has surrounded his personal life in recent months.
As tensions continue to rise, there are reports that Annie was upset when Kyle did not discuss his move to Milan with her beforehand. Allegedly, they couldn’t even say goodbye before he left for Italy, and Annie was later seen staying home to celebrate a friend’s milestone birthday, reportedly after a disagreement with Kyle. The couple’s relationship continues to be under intense scrutiny, and their ability to navigate this turbulent period remains uncertain.
With Lauryn’s decision to move to Italy potentially adding fuel to the fire, the situation between Kyle, Annie, and Lauryn is likely to evolve in the coming weeks. Whether or not Kyle and Annie can reconcile remains to be seen, but for now, Lauryn’s move is a significant development in the ongoing drama surrounding the footballer’s personal life.
