Shamed love rat Kyle Walker’s nightmare as he starts for Man City days after his wife kicked him out of their home
SHAMED love rat Kyle Walker has had a nightmarish start to City’s clash with Newcastle – just days after being dumped by his wife.
He bungled two defending chances allowing the Magpies to score twice in the first half at St James’ Park.
Walker’s game had got off to a strong start.
After breaking through Newcastle’s back line, he teed up Bernardo Silva who sent a masterful back heel sailing past keeper Martin Dúbravka.
But just minutes later, Walker, 33, was out skilled by Alexander Isak who curled a shot into City’s right hand corner.
Shortly after, Anthony Gordon whisked past the skipper on the left to send Newcastle 2-1 up with an almost identical strike.
It came after the shamed skipper was involved in an early collision with his own keeper Ederson and Newcastle midfielder Sean Longstaff.
The clash forced the goalie off the pitch and he’s been replaced by Stefan Ortega.
Walker is playing alongside Dias, Ake, Gvardiol, Rodrigo, Kovacic, Bernardo, Foden, Doku and Alvarez.
He earlier shared a photo on Instagram leaving fans to speculate whether he would make a pitch appearance despite his ongoing relationship troubles with Annie Kilner.
The post showed a collage of photos of Walker which reads ‘Newcastle vs Man City’ adding “1730 KO”.
He was later spotted signing a young fan’s shirt a few minutes before kick-off.
Walker was dumped earlier this week after Annie was sent a message about a “second love child” with Instagram influencer Lauryn.
The model is understood to have bluntly written: “I don’t have two baby daddies — I have one.”
Kyle, 33, was then dumped by his wife after admitting he was indeed the father.
Tearful Annie confronted the Man City full-back and the pair argued before she ordered him to leave the family home.
Annie — who has sons, Roman, Riaan and Reign, with the player — then announced she was “taking time away” from him.
In an apology to his wife, Kyle wrote on Instagram: “Annie is an amazing woman and I can only apologise for the upset I’ve caused her.”
She had previously been humiliated after Kyle was unmasked as the father of Lauryn’s son Kairo, born in April 2020.
They conceived the youngster during their short relationship when Kyle was temporarily split from Annie Kilner – who finally dumped him for good this week.
In November 2021, Kyle and Annie – who have three sons together – got married.
But in March 2023, Lauryn revealed that she was expecting her second child – and kept tight-lipped about her daughter’s paternity, only revealing he “is a footballer”.
But on Boxing Day Kyle’s betrayal finally caught up with him.
A source said: “Lauryn had had enough of the lies so told Annie everything on Boxing Day.
“Annie was stunned but knew ultimately that Lauryn was telling her the truth. There is no hiding that fact. She thought she deserved to know the truth.”
Annie and Kyle met as teenagers in their home city of Sheffield.
But their troubles began after he made a £50million move from Tottenham to Manchester City in 2017.
In 2019 it emerged he had romped with Ex On The Beach star Laura Brown in his Bentley.
Model Annie kicked him out but gave him another chance.
He was moving his stuff back in when he had a brief fling with Lauryn and she fell pregnant. Kyle moved out of the family home and began renting a luxury £8,000-a-month apartment in nearby Hale, Cheshire.
He pleaded with Annie to take him back but was then exposed for breaking Covid rules by hosting a £2,200 orgy with two hookers.
Lauryn gave birth to Kairo in April then publicly unmasked Walker as his dad.
Annie took him back again and he proposed with a £250,000 ring.
The couple wed in December 2021 at Mottram Hall, Cheshire.
It comes as the player romped with Ex On The Beach star Laura Brown in his Bentley 4×4 and was caught having a Covid busting orgy with two hookers.
Last March the City star was seen on CCTV exposing himself in a bar and snogging a woman.
He dirty-danced with the woman — not his wife — and a female friend after he arrived at the Manchester venue drunk with male pals.
Walker later voluntarily attended a police station for an interview for indecent exposure.
A win for Pep Guardiola‘s men will see them go second in the league and just two points behind leaders Liverpool with a game in hand.
