Team England is preparing for its UEFA Euro 2024 opener, with Gareth Southgate’s squad set to face Serbia. While this day holds special significance for the players and their partners, it remains a tumultuous period for Kyle Walker. Annie Kilner, his wife, intends to go to Germany to watch the game. However, she is not inclined towards any resemblance to a ‘happy family’ facade.

Turmoil has marred the 34-year-old’s personal life following reports of his affair with Lauryn Goodman, which led to estrangement from his wife. And now it seems the start of the Euro tournament has only added to the already existing drama surrounding Walker’s life.

The bitter truth behind Kyle Walker’s wife’s travel

Ahead of the upcoming match, the wives and girlfriends (WAGs) of the England soccer team have traveled to Germany. However, Annie Kilner has opted not to join them and will not be staying with the group. As reported by the Daily Mail, Kyle Walker’s wife has chosen not to fly as part of the official WAGs contingent. Instead, she plans to charter a private jet for herself and her four children, ensuring their prompt return after the match without any intention of remaining afterward.

Kilner’s travel arrangements are expected to cost approximately $44,000 per trip. It is understood that tensions between Kilner and Walker have escalated since news of his affair became public, influencing her decision only to make this trip so their children can see their father. Sources indicate she does not want familial reconciliation or maintaining appearances during this visit.

Another factor influencing Kilner’s travel choice is related to Kyle Walker’s former girlfriend Lauryn Goodwill—mother of two children with the right-back. Goodwill had previously announced plans to accompany their son Kairo on a similar journey. However, recent developments suggest these arrangements might also change.

Why Lauryn Goodman ditched her travel plans?

Lauryn Goodman recently disclosed that she had initially prepared to travel to Germany with her son Kairo, to witness his father’s performance. However, these plans were derailed when Walker’s wife, Annie Kilner, decided to make the trip instead.

In order to avoid a potential controversy stemming from their contentious history, Goodman opted out of this journey. Instead, she has chosen to travel to the Slovenia match on June 25. Additionally, it has been reported that a camera crew will accompany her for a new docu-series that aims to unveil details about her past affair with Kyle Walker. Clearly, off-field drama is not in short supply for the Manchester City star either.
