According to reports, Annie Kilner, the wife of Kyle Walker, has advised his former partner Lauren Goodman not to attend the Euros this summer as it could hurt England’s chances.
Now that Annie and Lauryn are planning to watch Kyle play at the next Euros in Germany this summer, there is growing concern that his on-field exploits may be overshadowed by happenings off it.
Annie is anticipated to join England player Kyle’s official WAGs group together with their four kids, Roman, 11, Riaan, 7, Reign, 5, and baby Rezon.
Although Kyle had previously assured their son Kairo he could go because he did not attend the 2022 World Cup, Lauryn has reportedly told friends that she is as determined to travel with their two children.
Annie, 30, is said to be concerned that Kyle’s past relationships may hurt England’s prospects of winning the tournament. It is said that FA executives are anxious to prevent any distractions for the players.

Concerns are now increasing that Kyle’s performance on the pitch at the Euros could be overshadowed by events off it if both Annie and Lauryn (pictured) attend
According to The Sun, Annie told a friend: ‘Lauryn says she’ll go to Germany and, whilst that’s her right, I don’t understand why she is making it such a public affair.
‘Presumably she will post images of her children wearing England shirts with “Daddy” on the back.
‘It will inevitably create a drama and the noise surrounding it will be an unwelcome distraction for the team.
‘England has the best chance of winning a major trophy since 1966 and they don’t need this. Kyle is focused on what he needs to do on the pitch and that has never wavered – but the gossip off it affects me and the children.’
MailOnline has contacted a representative for Lauryn for comment.
A source close to Kyle told MailOnline: ‘Kyle has never let anything off the pitch distract his game.
‘Once he crosses that white line he is fully focused on playing.
‘He is immensely proud to play for Manchester City and for once again making the Euros squad.’

Lauryn has reportedly told friends she is determined to travel with their two children and Kyle previously promised their son Kairo he could go because he didn’t attend the 2022 World Cup
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Annie and Kyle for comment.
Last week Kyle slammed his ex-lover Lauryn’s ‘wild and untrue’ claims after she said he had invited her and their children to the Euros.
The full-back for England has denied asking his ex-girlfriend to watch him play in Germany this summer.
A spokesperson for Kyle added that he and his wife want to ‘move forward away from any drama’.
Kyle, 33, captained Manchester City in their 1-0 win over Chelsea last week in the FA Cup semi-final in Wembley.
But sources claim he ‘categorically did not invite’ Lauryn or her family to the Euros.
If she makes an appearance, this could overshadow his playing as his wife, Annie and their four children intend to watch him play.
The Sun reported Lauryn, 33, as telling a friend she is ‘determined’ for her two children to see their father play this summer.
It was claimed on Friday Kyle was absent from son Kairo’s fourth birthday celebration, months after TV personality Lauryn revealed he was also the father of her 10-month-old daughter (Manchester City footballer Kyle pictured this week)
The Instagram influencer is the mother to Walker’s son Kairo, four, and daughter, who is eight-months-old.
She told friends that Walker had previously promised Kairo he could go because he didn’t see the 2022 World Cup.
The Sun reported a source as saying he told Lauryn he wants her there and wants ‘Kairo there to see me play’.
A spokesperson for Walker told MailOnline: ‘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.’
Earlier this month Kyle’s wife Annie gave birth to their fourth son – which was announced on the day Kairo turned four.
He was at Annie’s side for the birth, although they split up in January when she discovered he was the father of Lauryn’s daughter.
Lauryn became pregnant with Kairo when Kyle was on a break from Annie in 2019 but she took him back and they got married in 2021.
Kyle and his wife Annie Kilner are said to have reconciled following the birth of their fourth child after briefly separating when news of his second paternity scandal came to light
