In recent weeks, England and Manchester City footballer Kyle Walker has attracted attention for all the wrong reasons, after it was revealed that he'd fathered a second child with influencer Lauryn Goodman behind his pregnant wife’s back.
Kyle, 33, already has a son with Lauryn (pictured below): three-year-old Kairo, who was born following a brief relationship the pair had when he split from childhood sweetheart Annie Kilner (pictured inset). However, Annie, 30, and Kyle later reunited and tied the knot in 2021.
Now Annie, who shares Roman, 11, Riaan, seven and Reign, five, with the star and is preparing to welcome their fourth child, is said to have dumped Kyle following the news that he had a baby girl with model Lauryn, 32, last summer.
As this ever-evolving story continues, we take a look at the other footballers who have played away…
WAYNE AND COLEEN ROONEY
Childhood sweethearts Wayne and Coleen have faced relationship problems since marrying in 2008. But the scandals began in 2004, when an 18-year-old Wayne, who was dating Coleen at the time, was reported to have paid £140 for sex with a prostitute and slept with a 48-year-old grandmother during a visit to a brothel.
Despite his infidelities, Coleen, 37, stuck by him. Yet in 2010 it emerged that Wayne, 38, had slept with two more prostitutes while his wife was pregnant. Since then, the footballer has been linked to other women and Col even fled to her parents’ house in 2017 with her children.
