DEVASTATED Kyle Walker has opened up about the pain of being kicked out of his family home and having to say ‘goodnight’ to his son over Facetime.

BackGridThe Manchester City defender was thrown out by long-suffering wife Annie Kilner, after the Lauryn dropped the bombshell Boxing Day revelation.
She sent a message on Instagram admitting Kyle had fathered a second love child with herself.
Kyle is now living alone in a rented £3million property as Annie prepares to welcome their fourth child.
She has has since ditched her wedding ring and is strapped up with celeb lawyer, Paul Lunt, and PR guru Rachel Monk.
In a candid interview with The Sun, Kyle’s voice broke as he said: “My little boy goes to sleep with me every night and to not have him . . . I’m used to being away for long periods of time with England.
“We say goodnight on FaceTime. But to know that I’m not with him because of my mistake.”
He also apologised to Annie, mum to three of his children and confessed “the only person to blame is me”.
“What I’ve done is horrible and I take full responsibility,” he said.

Dan Charity“I made idiot choices and idiot decisions. I can’t begin to think or imagine what Annie is going through. I’ve tried to ask her but there’s pain and hurt.
“The man that’s meant to love, care and be there for her, did this.”
He described days during which he just wants “to curl up in a ball and go to sleep”.
“My actions have caused a lot of pain to a lot of people. I’m sorry because, as a family, this isn’t meant to happen,” he added.
Kyle also insisted that there had never been a relationship between himself and Lauryn when they first met in his early 20s.
But, in April 2020, Lauryn gave birth to a son a nd later publicly named Kyle as the dad.
After a brief stint living in a rented £8,000-a-month pad when Annie threw him out, Kyle was welcomed back into the family for the sake of the children.
However, despite vowing no contact with Lauryn, he met his son Kairo for the first time in August 2022 when they relocated closer to the Man City defender.
Then in early October 2022, Kyle travelled to London for groin surgery and secretly met Lauryn.
The pair later slept with each other, which the England ace said “wasn’t intentional or premeditated”.
“A lot was going on. It’s not an excuse. I’d ruptured my groin, I had a World Cup to get fighting fit for,” he told The Sun.
By the beginning of November, Lauryn had informed Kyle she was pregnant with their second baby.
He recounted the moment he nearly fainted and turned “white” when she told him over the phone as he prepped for a session at the training ground.
Kyle also recalled how playing football amid the pressure was a “release” and said he tried to keep the news secret because he’s “a private person”.
My move to Munich to escape
KYLE told how he almost followed Harry Kane to Bayern Munich to escape the looming baby scandal.
The defender verbally agreed a reported £15million move to the German champions in July.
He said: “I tried to escape. Did I want to leave City? No, of course I didn’t. We’re the best team in the world at the minute.
“But it was a chance to get away from England and the media I was going to get.
“I was aware the clock was ticking. I came very close to moving. We were having conversations. I was going to a great club, a massive club. But in the end I couldn’t go.
“If I’m in Germany and this happens, Annie leaves and I’m now in Germany on my own.
“My kids wouldn’t be around the corner where I can see them.
“There’s pain and emotion at the moment but I can go to the house, take the kids to school, and my little lad to football.”
However, day after Boxing Day, Lauryn took matters into her own hands and sent Annie an Instagram message, telling her: “I don’t have two baby daddies — I have one.”
She also shared a photo of Kyle on a playdate with Lauryn and the two children in a park.
The footballer said he suspected Lauryn would drop the bombshell after discovering Annie was pregnant with their fourth child.
“She was screaming down the phone, saying Annie’s pregnant. I said she wasn’t. It was none of her business. I felt I had to lie to her because I knew if I told her the truth it was going to blow,” explained Kyle.
“The pregnancy was the straw that broke the camel’s back.”
