In a dramatic new development surrounding Manchester City defender Kyle Walker's complex personal life, his former partner Lauryn Goodman has approached his legal team about relocating their two children, Kairo and Kinara, to Dubai.
According to sources close to the situation, Goodman, who currently lives in a Sussex property owned by Walker, is seeking permission to rent out the house and move overseas. This move follows a contentious court battle over child maintenance earlier in 2024.
"The situation has become increasingly challenging for all parties involved," a source close to the matter revealed. The potential relocation adds another layer of complexity to Walker's already complicated family dynamics.
The 34-year-old England international is simultaneously working to salvage his marriage with Annie Kilner, mother to his other four children. Kilner, who initially planned to file for divorce after learning about Walker's relationship with Goodman, is reportedly reconsidering her decision.
Further complicating matters, Walker himself has been exploring opportunities to play abroad as he enters the twilight of his career. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola recently confirmed that the defender has expressed interest in investigating overseas options. Both Saudi Pro League's Al-Nassr and Serie A giants AC Milan have reportedly shown interest in securing his services.
The upcoming months of 2025 are likely to be crucial for all parties involved as they navigate these potentially life-altering decisions. The situation remains in flux as Walker, Kilner, and Goodman each contemplate significant geographical moves that could fundamentally reshape their future arrangements and relationships.
