IT’S the WAG war that refuses to die.
And now, with the Euros 2024 well under way, Annie Kilner and Lauryn Goodman are set to come face-to-face as they take their children to support shamed Kyle Walker.

The England ace, who had been with his childhood sweetheart Annie for 15 years, fathered two love children with influencer Lauryn during their relationship.
Annie, 32, met Kyle, 34, when she was 16 and he was 18 playing for his hometown club Sheffield United.
The couple secretly wed in November 2021 – but their relationship came crashing down after it was revealed Kyle had fathered a second secret love child with Lauryn, 33.
The love triangle started in 2019 and has seen the WAGs publicly clash in the press and on social media countless times.
Kyle shares four sons – Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, Reign, five, and baby Rezon with Annie – and two with Lauryn – Kairo, four, and a daughter, 11-months.
It was revealed last month that Lauryn has plans to write a tell-all autobiography about her affair with Kyle.
But with every detail of her love affair for the England right back already shared with the world – as well as at least 30 swipes at Annie – a book might not be necessary.
TRUTH’S OUT
Kyle and Lauryn had a “brief” relationship in summer 2019 after she dumped football agent Dane Rashford — brother of Manchester United striker Marcus.
It was first announced that she was expecting a baby with a Three Lions ace the following January.
However, Kyle was not disclosed as the father until a month later.
Lauryn’s first swipe at Annie came when she exposed her unborn child’s father, telling her followers she’d “rather people heard it from the horse’s mouth”.
“Kyle Walker and I are expecting a baby in April and it was conceived during a period we had both split from our previous partners,” she told The Sun on Sunday at the time.
“This will be the last time I comment on it and I will only be sharing the positive journey going forward.”
Lauryn said specialists had warned her she would never be able to conceive naturally because she suffered from endometriosis and polycystic ovary syndrome.

Heartbroken Annie dumped the Manchester City ace over the love child.
It was reported that Lauryn threatened legal action against Annie at this time if she spoke out despite publicly revealing her pregnancy.
HARASSMENT CLAIMS
Annie posted a savage quote on her Instagram stories shortly after Kyle’s first love child was born, where she hit out at “disrespectful men”.
The post read: “A man who disrespects a loyal woman deserves a heartless h**.”
Lauryn was quick to take a swipe back on her own account.
“This is harassment,” she wrote.
This is harassment. I’ve just had a newborn baby and I’m having to deal with this on a Sunday morning
Lauryn Goodman
“I’ve just had a newborn baby and I’m having to deal with this on a Sunday morning.
“I have said repeatedly, I was never, ever friends with her and her using my name in the press to gain sympathy for a relationship that had ended before our baby’s conception is shocking.”
“OBSESSED WITH ME”
In May 2020 and settling into life as a first-time mum, Lauryn made her second round of jabs at Annie.
She posted a short video of Gemma Collins during her time on Celebrity Big Brother, which was reportedly supposed to mirror the feud between the pair.
The short clip shows Gemma arguing with EastEnders actor John Partridge and Gemma says: “You should really try to forget about me.
“You are obsessed with me and I love it!”
Lauryn captioned the pic: “She is obsessed with and and I love it!”
THANKS, THE SUN
When Annie praised The Sun for revealing the truth behind her split from Kyle in June 2020, Lauryn didn’t take it lying down.
In an Instagram post, Annie wrote: “A real woman will never break another woman’s home to make her own home.
“Thank you to The Sun for finally getting the truth out there.”
Lauryn was quick to issue a statement of her own by posting a comment from her legal team on Instagram.

Lauryn Goodman
It read: “My client will not be commenting on the stories that have appeared in today’s press.
“She, Ms Kilner and Mr Walker know the truth and she has no wish to be drawn into a media spat, particularly as Ms Kilner’s concerns appear to be directed at Mr Walker.”
MR & MRS
Amid the scandal, Kyle proposed to Annie with a £250,000 ring by setting up a floral heart of white roses, surrounded by petals and candles, at their Cheshire home.
Two days later on June 22, which was also Father’s Day, Lauryn made an emotional post where she branded the footballer as “weak”.
“To know I am solely responsible for bringing my baby up makes me work so much harder,” she penned.
“I will bring you up with love, respect and strength in a home with wonderful family values.

“You will be brought up to be strong where you make your own decisions and you don’t let anyone influence or control you, because being weak is an inherited sign I don’t wish you to have.”
A few months later in September, she made another dig at Annie’s relationship drama by boasting “not my circus” on Instagram stories.
The subtle swipe came the day after then-fiancée Annie admitted to having a fling with a toyboy Joshua Cox, 20.
She insisted that the romance began when they split up in February when it was revealed that Lauryn was pregnant with his child.
When Kyle moved out of their home, Annie was introduced to Josh and they began dating.
NECKLACE OF HINTS
Shortly after the birth of their baby, Lauryn has caused a stir by wearing a necklace with the initials ‘KW’.
The necklace had been given to her by her younger sister Chloe Goodman, who is famous herself for stints on Ex On The Beach and Celebrity Big Brother.
Lauryn was quick to explain the initials read ‘KW’ because her son’s real name wasn’t Junior, as she had previously said.
The ‘Junior’ nickname suggested at the time that the baby could be called Kyle like his dad.
However, it was revealed in March 2021 that the tot was called Kairo.

The mum-of-two was papped wearing the necklace throughout her first love child scandal, including when at the supermarket and on holiday.
When she revealed his name, Lauryn defended giving him his dad’s surname.
“Single mums have questioned why Kairo’s surname is Walker because they say they don’t want to give the father the satisfaction of them having their surname,” she said.
“It was a mutual decision to name him Walker and I honoured that.”
BOOT OFF
Lauryn then publically slammed Annie and Kyle in May 2021 when his new football boots had his eldest three sons’ names on but not Kairo’s.
The Man City star showed off his new pair of boots on Instagram, which had the names and dates of birth of his then-three children with Annie.
Riaan, Reign and Roman each received a spot on the boot, but Kairo didn’t.
“See this is the thing, Mums fight for their babies,” she penned on Instagram. “Kairo has done nothing apart from be adorable.
“Women are not scared to have their say. I may have less followers but I am a real person who will fight for Kairo until I am no longer here.”
Lauryn later declared the boots as “bullying” and demanded a public apology from Kyle and sports brand Puma.
She even started a petition for Puma to publicly denounce Kyle and called the boots a “triggering outlandish callous action endorsed by” the brand.
The petition only received 1,910 signatures, and Annie took to Instagram a few days later to call Kyle the “best daddy”.
BABY TWO
In March 2023, Lauryn announced that she was pregnant with her second child – and rumours about who the father was started instantly.
Kyle and Annie tied the knot secretly in 2021, but when the Man City player exposed himself in a bar and snogged a random woman in March 2023, things started to go downhill.

Lauryn wasted no time supporting Wagatha Christie’s Rebekah – and even referred to Annie as a dog.
She shared a link to buying dog muzzles in an astonishing swipe and told her to “put a muzzle on it”.
Lauryn penned on a separate story: “Stop igniting the flame claiming others want the limelight. Stop trying to make out you want a private life. How many friends do you want to blame?
“It’s come back to me what horrific things you have been calling my son (words I wouldn’t wish to repeat because I wouldn’t want it out there for him to read when he’s older).

“Just remember what goes around comes around.”
It was later revealed that Lauryn told a pal she was “ready to finish” Kyle and Annie’s marriage in July 2022.
Another text she sent said: “Ask him if he wants to go with me again? I’m down for baby number 2 [five laughing emojis].”
NUMBER GAME
The WAG war intensified between the mothers of Kyle’s children when ex-fling Lauryn shared a photo of son Kairo, then three, in a Man City shirt bearing his number two after the team’s treble triumph in June last year.
Wife Annie hit back with pictures of her with Kyle and their three eldest boys — Riaan, Roman and Reign — on the pitch after the Champions League Final win over Inter Milan in Istanbul.
She penned: “Three is the magic number. winning the champions league with your daddy. All these memories you get to have with your daddy. Nothing and no one will ever take that from you. We’ve got you three.”
Furious Lauryn retaliated in an interview with The Sun on Sunday, branding Annie “cruel, vindictive and nasty”.
Annie needs to talk to someone if she still has issues over Kyle being Kairo’s dad, instead of being so venomous to our child
Lauryn Goodman
“I have had enough of this nastiness, it has been going on too long,” she said.
“Kairo has done nothing wrong and Annie cannot eradicate him from existence. He is Kyle Walker’s son.
“He doesn’t just have three sons – Annie needs to accept that.”
She called the model a “wicked stepmother” and accused her of treating Kairo like an “outcast”.
“When Annie got back with Kyle she knew I was pregnant,” Lauryn added.
“If she couldn’t handle the fact he was going to have another child she should never have gotten back with him.
“Annie needs to talk to someone if she still has issues over Kyle being Kairo’s dad, instead of being so venomous to our child.
I don’t have two baby daddies — I have one
Lauryn Goodman
“She is taking it out on Kairo instead of Kyle – you can’t sweep Kairo under the carpet, our son is not a dirty secret.”
It was not public knowledge yet that Kyle was the dad of Lauryn’s second child.
She further teased Annie by saying the father was “in the picture” and said his identity “will be known when the time is right”.
When the baby girl was born in July 2023, rumours that Kyle had fathered a second lovechild were further fuelled by sources confirming “the dad is a footballer”.
HOME & AWAY
Kyle added fuel to the fire in September 2023 when he bought Lauryn a £2.5 million home on the coast to raise her two children.
Then, the day after Boxing Day, Annie received a message “out of the blue” alleging that Kyle was the dad to Lauryn’s second child.
Lauryn is understood to have bluntly written: “I don’t have two baby daddies — I have one.”
She had also forwarded a photo of Kyle enjoying a play date with both their children in a park.

Sources said that Annie “was floored” by the message, adding that the marriage had been on the rocks for months after Lauryn taunted her online about the identity of the baby’s father.
She tearfully confronted the Man City full-back and the pair argued before she ordered him to leave the £2.4 million family home.
Days after it was revealed Kyle is the father of both of Lauryn’s kids, she was spotted fleeing the country from Gatwick Airport and checking in three suitcases branded with ‘KW’.
That same day, Lauryn revealed that she had shown Annie a DNA test to prove Kyle was the dad.
“I didn’t want to cause any more heartache for Annie or be a bitch but I had to tell her because Kyle was too weak to do it,” she told The Sun.
“The day after Boxing Day, I got someone to message Annie because I knew he was away playing so I could speak to her and tell her the truth in private.
I don’t think Annie wanted to believe it was true, which is understandable
Lauryn Goodman
“Kyle had denied she was his daughter many, many times. I don’t think Annie wanted to believe it was true, which is understandable.
“She kept asking for proof, so I showed her the DNA test but even then she doubted it was real until I pointed out my daughter’s name on the paperwork.
“Annie and I later FaceTimed and my daughter was there.”
Lauryn added more fuel to the fire by saying she “doesn’t blame herself for their marriage breaking up” as she knows of other women who have been with Kyle.
BABY SIX
It was soon revealed that Annie was pregnant with her fourth child with Kyle.
Days after Annie’s pregnancy was made public, Lauryn interviewed with MailPlus and claimed Annie had even apologised to her – adding she once “hated” her secret lover’s wife.
Annie welcomed her fourth son with Kyle in April 2024 and was at her side for the birth — despite them splitting in January
Lauryn took the opportunity to share messages about a “perfect family” on her Instagram page.
A pre-written quote read: “Sometimes a perfect family is just a mum and her kids.”
Lauryn penned alongside the image: “One of each. Their love for each other is perfect. Couldn’t be more blessed.”
EUROS 2024
Despite the drama, Lauryn has been “determined” to get her two children pitch side at the 2024 Euros in Germany.
It was exclusively revealed by The Sun in April that she told a pal: “I am determined my children will get to see their daddy playing for the Three Lions this summer.”

Lauryn further alleged that Kyle made the promise to Kairo because the youngster didn’t go to the 2022 World Cup.
A source said: “During the World Cup Kyle would message Lauryn saying, ‘That win, that celebration . . . was for Kairo’.
“He even brought Kairo a World Cup ball and a shirt back. Kyle apparently said he was sorry Kairo wasn’t there and wanted him at the Euros.”
Annie remained silent but reportedly told a friend in private that Lauryn wants to go to “inevitably create a drama” that will “distract” the team.
It was confirmed last week that Lauryn has tickets and flights booked to Germany for England’s third Euros group game.
At the same time, new pictures of her children wearing Three Lions kits that read ‘DADDY’ and the number two on the back were released.
Kyle wears a number two shirt for England, as well as Man City.
She will now fly out for the game against Slovenia, in Cologne, on June 25.
Meanwhile, Annie is hiring a £30,000 private jet to attend games.
Her plan is to travel to games with three of her four sons with Kyle but to not stay for more than a day.
