Kyle Walker’s Move to Milan Bring Personal Scandal Along
The English defender's off-the-pitch controversies continue to overshadow his career. His relationships with wife Annie Kilner, 31, and model Lauryn Goodman, the mother of two of his children, remain a focal point of public scrutiny.
Kyle Walker's transfer to AC Milan at 34 seemed like a fresh start for his professional and personal life after leaving Manchester City.
Family Drama Overshadows the Move
Plans for Annie and their four children to join Walker in Italy for his official presentation were abruptly canceled amid speculation that Lauryn Goodman might also relocate to Milan. According to sources cited by The Sun, “Annie was supposed to travel on Friday, but a heated argument about Lauryn's future plans changed everything.”
Adding fuel to the fire, Walker reportedly prioritized inviting his friends to Milan over his family. This decision further upset Annie, who later shared glamorous photos of herself on social media, hinting at her frustration.
An Ongoing Legal and Emotional Battle
Annie, who filed for divorce last August, is still considering a move to Italy to "keep the family together" despite ongoing tensions. With the footballer’s fortune estimated at £27 million, the couple remains locked in a challenging situation. Meanwhile, Lauryn Goodman, 34, has denied rumors of moving to Milan, calling them “fake news.”
The tension between Annie and Lauryn dates back to 2019, when Walker fathered a child with Lauryn during a brief separation from Annie. The situation became even more complicated in 2023 when Lauryn had a second child with Walker, causing further strain in his marriage.
A Chance to Reset in Milan
Now donning the AC Milan jersey, Walker has already made an impression, attending his first match at San Siro where his new team triumphed 3-2 over Parma. Yet, his personal challenges remain unresolved. Despite his move to Italy, those close to him suggest that the drama surrounding Lauryn Goodman is unlikely to fade.
While Walker focuses on adapting to a new league and helping Milan chase success, Annie is reportedly working to recover from what she describes as a traumatic year. As she navigates the decision to join him or move forward independently, the saga of Kyle Walker's personal life remains as complex as ever.
