After being spotted partying in Milan with two mystery women, the drama is rumbling on between Kyle Walker and wife Annie Kilner – with Kyle’s former mistress Lauryn Goodman watching from the sidelines.

AC Milan footballer Kyle, 34, was spotted partying till the early hours with two mystery brunettes last week – though his friends have insisted ‘nothing happened’ between him and the women.

It comes after the former Manchester City footballer relocated to Italy, leaving wife Annie, 33, and their four sons in the UK.

Now, a source reveals that Kyle’s party antics have left Lauryn, 34, feeling ‘smug’. As the footballer hit headlines, the Celebs Go Dating star took to her stories to share a snippet of Kyle and his alleged mystery woman – accompanied by an emoji of a cheetah.

Revealing that Lauryn is ‘loving’ the fallout, a source reveals, ‘To her, this is karma playing out. Lauryn has been called every name under the sun, but now Annie is the one being publicly humiliated. She’s been saying for years that Kyle can’t be trusted, and now Annie is seeing it for herself.’

In early 2024, the shocking news broke that Kyle had secretly fathered a second child – daughter Kinara, one – with influencer Lauryn, in addition to their son, Kairo, now four. The footballer publicly apologised to childhood sweetheart Annie – with whom he shares sons Roman, 12, Riaan, eight, Reign, six, and Rezon, 11 months – before she filed for divorce in October.

Now, the source adds, ‘Lauryn has no sympathy for Annie. She thinks Annie has spent years looking down on her and acting like she was the victim when, really, she was just turning a blind eye to the truth. In a way, Lauryn feels like this is poetic justice. She’s been through hell while Annie played the perfect wife, and now Lauryn feels like she’s finally been proven right. She’s watching it all unfold with a smile on her face.’

While Annie hasn’t addressed Kyle’s affair, the star’s sister Sian, 26, had choice words for influencer Lauryn – branding her ‘evil’ and ‘cruel’.

The source says the latest stories around Kyle are seen by Lauryn as another opportunity to clear her name and shift public perception.

They reveal, ‘Lauryn has spent years fighting to have her side of the story heard – and now Kyle is making a fool of Annie all on his own. Annie’s life is falling apart, just like hers did, and Lauryn feels she’s having the last laugh.’
