KYLE Walker’s ex Lauryn Goodman is taking their two kids to the Euros — where the England ace’s wife and four boys will also support him.
Lauryn, 33, told a pal: “I am determined my children will get to see their daddy playing for the Three Lions this summer.”
The Influencer, mum to the England star’s son Kairo, four, and a daughter, eight months, told pals he invited them to Germany in June, and is determined to go.
A source says Kyle told Lauryn: “I want you there. And I want Kairo there to see me play.”
But a source close to Kyle, 33, insisted he had not invited her.
His wife Annie, 30, intends to be in Germany with their children.
Last week it emerged Annie had given birth to their fourth son.
His arrival was revealed on the day Kairo turned four.
Kyle was at his wife’s side for the birth — despite them splitting in January when she found out he was the dad of Lauryn’s baby daughter.
A source said: “Lauryn won’t let Kairo down. She told friends Kyle said he 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.
“It felt calculated that the baby news came out on Kairo’s birthday last week.
“Kyle did not even send a message through solicitors or a card. It’s heartbreaking.
“Lauryn feels he once had such a wonderful relationship with his son.
“Now she will do everything she can to ensure her children aren’t affected by his actions.”
Lauryn has told pals Kyle made the promise to Kairo because the youngster didn’t go to the 2022 World Cup.
The source said: “During the World Cup Kyle would message Lauryn saying, ‘That win, that celebration . . . was for Kairo’.
“He even brought Kairo a World Cup ball and a shirt back.
“Kyle apparently said he was sorry Kairo wasn’t there and wanted him at the Euros.
“What boy doesn’t want to see their daddy at work? It just so happens for Kairo that his daddy is a footballer.
“Kairo idolises the ground Kyle walks on. They had built up a wonderful relationship, they loved playing football together and hanging out. They adore each other.
“Kairo goes to his wardrobe and picks out the football tops he wants to wear. He has Liverpool, Chelsea but all he wants is Manchester City.
“He knows that is the one Kyle bought him and had Dad printed on the back. He is proud of that.”
Lauryn, 33, who is about to star in a TV documentary about Wag life, has not seen Kyle since Annie found out in December he is the dad to both Lauryn’s children.
By going to the Euros she isn’t trying to be confrontational towards Annie. All Lauryn cares about is being a good mum

The source said: “Those children have done nothing wrong.
“Lauryn will not let her son be crushed because of his father’s actions.
“Annie took her children to see Kyle play for England in March. Lauryn is just doing the same. You can’t let kids down.
“Kairo has no idea that his dad isn’t making an effort and she doesn’t want him to feel left out, she has to protect him.
“When she takes him to Germany she will come up with an excuse as to why they can’t see him after the game to protect Kairo.
“But there is no way she will break that promise.
“When he is old enough he will know the truth, but not now.
“By going to the Euros she isn’t trying to be confrontational towards Annie. All Lauryn cares about is being a good mum.
“She thinks Kyle and Annie are clearly back together and has no malice.
“She doesn’t want to see Kyle or Annie. Going to the Euros is about her children, simple as that.
“Lauryn won’t be mingling with the Wags.
“All she will do is let Kairo cheer on his daddy, and feel proud.”
Lauryn fell pregnant with Kairo while Kyle was on a break from Annie in 2019.
But Annie took him back and they wed in 2021.
Kyle and Lauryn’s daughter was conceived in October 2022 when Kyle travelled to London for an op.
The source added: “Kairo is too little to understand. He just asks when he is going to see his daddy.
“Lauryn tries to give him answers to soften the blow without lying to him.
“She was sobbing on Wednesday but hides that from the kids.
“Kyle spoke out in January and said his children were the innocent ones in all this mess but he seems to have forgotten that now.”

WHEN Annie Kilner and Lauryn Goodman both attend the Euros this summer it could be the most awkward run-in in Wag history.
Forget the game, this has the potential to be far more interesting.
It’s shaping up to be the most raucous event since the 2006 Wags were dancing on the tables of Baden-Baden.
There is only one person to blame for this drama and that is Kyle himself.
I sympathise with Annie as she’s just given birth.
And Lauryn has every right to go to the Euros because she has children with Kyle.
If he was to score a goal or be man of the match you would want your child to be there to say they saw that.
But I can only see this unravelling further.
This very sorry affair will surely go global. I can imagine a documentary or even a movie being made.
Whatever you think about footballers and their wives, people are gripped.
This could get bigger than handbags at dawn or, dare I say, Wagatha Christie.
A spokesperson for Kyle said: “Lauryn continues to pursue wild and untrue stories whilst Kyle and Annie attempt to move forward away from any drama.
“All comments are being dealt with privately and through the proper legal channels as the couple do not wish to engage in further public dispute, particularly where children are involved.”
Yesterday Kyle captained Manchester City in their 1-0 win over Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley.
Sources close to the player said: “Kyle categorically did not invite Lauryn, or any member of her family, to the Euros.
“He is fully focused on taking his country all the way to picking up the trophy. He is grateful for all the support.”
Sources say Annie has sought legal advice over some of Lauryn’s posts, with a view that they could be harassment.
We approached Lauryn’s people for comment.
