ENGLAND’S Wags have united behind Kyle Walker’s wife Annie amid fears his ex- mistress Lauryn Goodman will also be at tomorrow’s last-16 game against Slovakia.
Megan Pickford, wife of goalie Jordan, Anouska Santos, girlfriend of Luke Shaw, and Tolami Benson, partner of Bukayo Saka, have vowed to protect Annie, 32.
A source said: “They have her back.”
Annie and three of her four sons with Man City ace Kyle are taking a private jet to tomorrow’s match against Slovakia.
Lauryn may also be in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, with Kairo, her four-year-old son with the defender.
The pair also have a daughter, who is ten months old.
Annie narrowly missed her rival at the 1-1 draw with Denmark in Frankfurt on June 20.
Pal Megan Pickford, wife of goalie Jordan, was said to have been appalled by Lauryn’s attendance at that game.
Also in Annie’s corner are Anouska Santos, girlfriend of Luke Shaw, and Bukayo Saka’s partner Tolami Benson.
A Wag source said: “They have all known Annie for a long time.
“They stick together and want Annie to know she is not alone.
“They have her back.”
Annie has kept a dignified silence since discovering in January that Kyle had fathered Lauryn’s second child.
She kicked him out of their home, and the player has been trying to repair the damage ever since.
The source added: “Meghan, Anouska and the other Wags can’t begin to imagine what Annie is going through.
“It must be so hard, but even more so because it’s so public.
“Annie is dealing with what Kyle has done and wants to do that privately.
“But she’s also put her feelings to one side to take their boys to the matches.
“Yet, all the while, she has no idea if Lauryn will be there.
“It’s a terrible situation and made worse by Lauryn who appears to be trying to promote herself as a Wag.
“She’s deluded.”
Another source said: “There’s a sense of bewilderment about why Lauryn would go to the match.
“Kyle has nothing to do with the children and no emotional relationship with them.
“They’ve never been to any of his previous matches.
“I’m sure they support England and no one would begrudge them going.
“But why do it so publicly?”
Influencer Lauryn, 33, stunned Kyle and Annie after taking Kairo to the 1-1 draw with Denmark in Frankfurt on June 20.
Kairo wore an England shirt with No2 and “Daddy” on the back.
They flew out with a journalist and Lauryn posed for photos before kick-off, insisting: “There was no way I wasn’t going to take Kairo to the Euros.
“I wanted it to be something he could remember for ever. We are not here to please other people.
“It’s about Kairo and what is best for him and what is going to make him happy.
“I won’t be scapegoated or bullied and made to feel like a villain.”
Lauryn said she had not even given a chance meeting with Annie a second thought.
She added: “I wasn’t fearful at all that I was going to bump into her.
“It doesn’t cross my mind.
“I couldn’t care less.
“I just get on with things.
“I was there for Kairo, no one else, and if anyone has an issue with it, that’s their problem, not mine.”
Three of Team Annie — Tolami, Anouska and Megan — featured in a picture posted yesterday by Jarrod Bowen’s partner Dani Dyer.
It also included Ollie Watkins’ girlfriend Ellie Alderson and was taken before Tuesday’s 0-0 draw against Slovenia.
