KYLE Walker seems to have reacted to his former partner, Lauryn Goodman, following a disagreement regarding Christmas presents for their kids.
The influencer was reported to be “thoroughly upset” with the father of her two children after he excluded them from his Christmas list for the second year in a row.
Walker, who has a son and daughter with Goodman from a lengthy, turbulent relationship, previously promised to “behave properly” this year, according to reports.
However, Kairo and Kinara reportedly did not get any gifts from their father on Christmas Day.
An insider stated, “All of their mutual friends have reached out to Kyle.
“They are genuinely worried about the kids and Lauryn, who is always trying to do right by them.
“They had hoped Kyle could set aside his differences for the children’s sake.
“But once again leaving them with nothing is truly heart-wrenching.”
Lauryn even discussed online with a fan, suggesting that Walker’s wife, Annie Kilner, might be influencing his choices.
Despite filing for divorce from the Manchester City player earlier this year, Walker and Annie celebrated Christmas together.
Recently, Walker took to his own Instagram account where he appeared to address the heated topic.
The defender shared a joyful family picture on his Instagram story, featuring himself, Annie, and their four children in matching pajamas.

The children’s faces were covered with white heart emojis, accompanied by the caption “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.”
Some viewers interpreted this as a slight towards Lauryn, with a source close to the Three Lions player asserting, “He provides financial support for the children.
“He has never taken part in Lauryn’s Christmas celebrations with the kids.
“There’s no indication this year would be any different.”
Another insider remarked to Mail+: “It feels like Lauryn is unyielding in bringing this issue to the public’s attention.
“She seems focused on using Kyle and the family to maintain her relevance.
“Kyle and Annie are hoping this will settle down.
“He worries that any gifts or holiday messages he sends will be exploited by Lauryn for publicity.”
