KYLE Walker is considering taking out a harassment order against Lauryn Goodman.
Friends say the England and Man City ace is in contact with lawyers over his ex-mistress's social media posts.
Two law firms have advised him he has grounds to take action and he is said to be "carefully looking at options".
A source says the footballer, 34, is desperate to protect his four young sons with wife Annie Kilner, 32, from Lauryn's social media posts.
Lauryn, 33, has stepped up online attacks since being humiliated in court over her megabucks maintenance demands on him for their two children.
The judge accused her of being "difficult, unreasonable" and treating Kyle like an "open-ended chequebook".
Judge Edward Hess also blasted the reality TV star and social media influencer for deliberately causing distress to Kyle's wife. But since his judgement three weeks ago, things have only escalated, said our source.
"It has gotten worse with stories appearing every day and Lauryn posting regularly on her social media," the insider said. "It's become impossible for Annie and the kids to ignore.
"Even though they don't follow her, it gets repeated online and then discussed on huge social media platforms like Tik Tok which is available to a lot of children and it's beginning to take a toll on them.
"That's a real red flag for Kyle.
"He is being advised what his best options are, although he really doesn't want to have to take steps like this. But it's now starting to look like he has to, at least, consider it."
