England star Kyle Walker and wife Annie Kilner have been told they don't have to worry about a 'kiss-and-tell' book from Lauryn Goodman.
Former Manchester City star Walker has fathered two children with reality TV star Goodman - son Kairo, four, and two-year-old daughter Kinara , who, it’s claimed, now wants to build bridges and have “peace talks” with his wife. Walker and Goodman first struck up a relationship in 2019 during a brief separation from his wife.

Many of the details were laid bare during an intense Family Court battle last year between Kyle, 34, and his former mistress over child maintenance and other finances. Walker is currently trying to rebuild his relationship with his long-time partner. Celebs Go Dating star Lauryn, 34, wants to put an end to the drama and bury the hatchet once and for all, according to an OK magazine source.
"She doesn't want this. She wants to start building bridges and engage in some kind of peace talks with Annie," they claimed. "She wants to bring them together and unify them somehow. "The constant fighting is silly. It's not been fair for anybody, especially for the children."

The U-turn comes after a bitter battle, which began with Kyle's affair with Lauryn, leading to the birth of their son in 2020. Despite Annie, 33, trying to rebuild her relationship with Kyle, it later emerged the England defender had fathered a second child with Lauryn in 2023
Since then, there have been a number of cryptic posts, pointed interviews and explosive claims. Despite Lauryn wanting to seemingly draw a line in the sand now, a source close to Annie says any ongoing drama has nothing to do with her.

"As far as Kyle and Annie are concerned, they are continuing on with their lives and trying their best to avoid any public spats," they claimed. "Annie is just moving on. If it's anyone's war, it's Lauren and Kyle's – but it's not Annie's. She won't engage with Lauren. Of course, the past was difficult, but it's been a year – and Kyle, Annie and their boys are carving a new ending away from it all.
"She is focusing on her children, not herself, and navigating life with Kyle, waiting to see what the next steps are with his contract."

Lauryn has spoken about her relationship with her kids' father on a number of occasions. She even launched her own podcast, Yours Sincerely, last year where she slammed Kyle for allegedly not treating her children the same as his family with Annie. She subsequently took her case to London's Family Court to seek maintenance and other money - amounting to the equivalent of a £350k annual salary - but her claims were dismissed by the judge.
Lauryn opened up about the case on her podcast shortly afterwards, telling listeners, "I will do anything for my kids and I will put myself through hell and back to make sure that they get what they should get."
It was subsequently rumoured that Lauryn could be ready to immortalise their private lives in a bombshell tell-all book. And while a source says Lauryn is considering writing a book: "She's not doing a kiss-and-tell – that story would be about five pages long.
"She would want to pen a book on the realities of being a single mother-of-two, how she has coped, sharing her experiences and what she regrets."
