KYLE Walker has insisted that his liaisons with Lauryn Goodman "meant nothing" to him, sparking a new war of words.

The footballer, 33, has split from his pregnant wife of two years, Annie Kilner, 31, after it emerged that he had fathered a daughter with model Lauryn last summer.

A friend of Walker said: "Kyle is very much in the wrong with escapades but there his was no proper relationship with Lauryn. It was effectively just a very, very quick fleeting thing while he was in the area.

"Yes, things happened a few times but there were no feelings, and certainly no romance.

However, the friend's comments sparked fury from Lauryn's camp, who insisted that they did have a proper relationship.

"Kyle was very much a willing, enthusiastic participant, a friend of Lauryn's claimed. "He told her all sorts of sweet nothings and treated her like a princess." The player and Lauryn already had a son, Kairo, three, born following a brief relationship when the footballer had split from childhood sweetheart Annie.
