KYLE Walker has seemingly hit back at his ex Lauryn Goodman amid a row over Christmas presents for their kids.
The influencer was reported to be “utterly furious” with the father of her two children after he missed them off his Christmas list for the second year in a row.
Walker, who fathered a son and a daughter with Goodman over the course of a lengthy, on/off affair, had promised to “do the right thing” this year, according to sources.
But young Kairo and Kinara apparently didn’t receive anything from their dad come the big day.
One source said: “All of their mutual friends have talked to Kyle.
“They feel really upset for the children and for Lauryn who is always trying to do right by their kids.
“They were hoping Kyle would put aside his differences for the sake of the children.
“But to leave them with nothing to open for another year is just really sad.”
Lauryn even shared an exchange with a fan on social media in which they suggested Walker’s wife Annie Kilner was behind the decision.
Walker and Annie spent Christmas day together despite her filing for divorce from the Man City star earlier this year.
Now, though, Walker has taken to his own Instagram page and seemingly addressed the bitter row.
The defender posted a festive family photo to his Instagram story, featuring himself, Annie and their four kids all in matching pyjamas.
The children’s faces were all obscured by white heart emojis, while the snap was captioned “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year”.
Some viewers perceived this as a swipe at Lauryn, with a source close to the Three Lions man adding: “He provides for the children financially.
“He’s never been a part of Lauryn’s Christmas celebrations with the children.
“There’s no reason this year would be any different.”
And another insider told Mail+: “It feels like Lauryn is relentless in dragging this story into the spotlight.
“She seems to be trying to use Kyle and the family to keep herself relevant.
“Kyle and Annie would love for things to die down.
“He feels that he cannot send gifts or Christmas wishes because he fears Lauryn will use any contact at all to shove herself forward in the media.”
