Kyle Walker appears to have responded to his ex, Lauryn Goodman, amid a dispute over Christmas gifts for their children. The influencer was said to be “utterly furious” after the footballer reportedly left their two kids off his Christmas list for the second consecutive year.
Despite previous assurances from Walker that he would “do the right thing” this festive season, it seems his son Kairo and daughter Kinara were left without presents from him on Christmas Day. A source commented: “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 also interacted with a fan on social media, hinting that Walker’s wife, Annie Kilner, might have influenced his decision. Despite filing for divorce earlier in the year, Walker and Annie celebrated Christmas Day together. Now, Walker has seemingly addressed the controversy by posting a Christmas family photo on his Instagram story, showing him, Annie, and their four children in matching pyjamas, with the children’s faces hidden behind white heart emojis.
The post was captioned “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year”. Some viewers thought the remarks were aimed at Lauryn, while a person close to the England player mentioned: “He provides for the children financially.”
They further elaborated that: “He’s never been a part of Lauryn’s Christmas celebrations with the children and “There’s no reason this year would be any different.”
