England chief might block Walker’s ex from being close to crew at Euros

England bosses are determined to ensure Kyle Walker‘s ex-lover Lauryn Goodman does not become a distraction at the upcoming Euros – after she raised the prospect of attending games with their children

Kyle is said to have promised their four-year-old son Kairo tickets – something he later denied – but now insiders say FA chiefs will go to every possible length to stop her accessing tickets.

Officials at the national side know they cannot control every ticket inside the stadiums, but internally say they will block her from joining the team of their families ‘by any means necessary’ amid fears her attendance could throw the highly rated defender off his game.

A source said: ‘Lauryn has been saying she will be at the games this summer because Kyle promised their son tickets, but that sets off massive alarm bells for the squad’s team behind the scenes.

‘There are special seating areas at each of the matches which are allocated to players and staff for their families and friends, and quite often those tickets get passed on and shared around between those close to the team – and there’s no doubt Kyle’s wife Annie will be there with their kids.

‘But Lauryn has been saying she will get hold of some tickets and go along too which would cause massive problems.

‘There’s no way any will be issued directly to her the way things are currently, but she could try to get them by another means or through friends within the game – she knows a lot of players and football agents.

‘The manager and the team need total focus on the games. Any distraction will be totally clamped down on. Everything in their power, they will do it. Nobody wants a circus ruining their chances.’

Reports last month told how Lauryn had vowed to be in Germany when Kyle plays, telling friends she was ‘determined my children will get to see their daddy playing’.

She also claimed to friends that Kyle had told her: ‘I want you there, and I want Kairo to see me play.’

But a source close to Kyle, 33, insisted he had not invited her.

The attendance of the squad’s wives and girlfriends has become a much discussed fixture of major tournaments since the infamous 2016 World Cup in Baden-Baden, where A-list partners including Victoria Beckham, Coleen Rooney and Becky Vardy were all pictured out on the town together.

It has sparked much debate over whether families being at tournaments with the team can pose a distraction for the players, with different England managers taking their own stance on how much time they should spend with their partners and kids while on national duty.

Kyle’s long-suffering wife Annie, 30, who recently gave birth to their fourth child together just nine months after his second child with Lauryn was born, will be in attendance with their children.

Walker’s wife Annie Kilner had reportedly warned his ex Lauryn Goodman to stay away from the Euros this summer as her attendance may damage England’s chances (Kyle and Annie pictured with their sons Roman, 11, Riaan, seven and Reign, five, in December last year)

The love cheat was at his wife’s side for the birth despite them splitting in January when news of his second infidelity with Lauryn was confirmed – but they are understood to have since grown close again with him spending significant periods of time back at the family home having moved out to a nearby rented pad.

In reports published two weeks ago, a friend of Lauryn said: ‘She won’t let Kairo down. She told friends Kyle wanted her to take the children to the Euros when they were still close, before Annie found out they had a daughter.

‘Kairo has been excited. Lauryn is a good mum. She won’t let her son be disappointed.’

They added: ‘During the last World Cup Kyle was much more involved – he even brought Kairo a World Cup ball and a shirt back, but things have changed since then.’

News of Annie’s latest baby birth was unveiled on the same day as Lauryn’s son Kairo’s fourth birthday party.

It’s reported the Manchester City star did not send a message or a card, prompting fresh heartache.

Lauryn is reportedly set to star in a forthcoming TV series about Wag life, and has been feuding with Kyle since his wife found out about their second baby together.

Both have since given interviews telling conflicting stories, with Lauryn insisting Kyle had promised her they would end up in a relationship and the footballer issuing grovelling apologies to his wife and family for his indiscretions.

And they have also traded jibes on social media, with Lauryn often hitting back at claims in the media via her Instagram profile – including revealing screen shots of messages he had sent her during their relationship.
