In the latest episode of “Footballers’ Wives: Real Life Edition,” the security team for England’s WAGs (Wives and Girlfriends) was put on high alert. The reason? A potential clash between Kyle Walker’s ex, Lauryn Goodman, and his current wife, Annie Walker. Because nothing says “supporting your national team” quite like a sideline drama.
Lauryn, who shares two children with the Manchester City defender, decided to make a grand entrance at the match, bringing along their son Kairo, proudly sporting a personalized Three Lions’ No2 shirt emblazoned with “Daddy.” Annie, on the other hand, was seated with other WAGs, likely hoping to avoid any unexpected encounters. But with Lauryn’s seat reportedly less than 100 meters away, tensions were higher than the final moments of a penalty shootout.
Sources revealed that Lauryn’s presence was considered a potential “troublemaker” moment, Annie’s worst nightmare brought to life. Security was primed and ready to ensure Lauryn didn’t waltz into the WAGs’ VIP section. “Lauryn is a blagger and a chancer,” the source stated, expressing concerns that she might try to sweet-talk her way into the restricted area. However, the team was on their toes, ensuring Lauryn kept a respectable distance, much like a well-defended backline.
The backstory adds a layer of soap opera flair. Annie had famously kicked Kyle out of their Manchester home after learning he had fathered children with Lauryn behind her back. Since then, Annie has chosen to support Kyle from the stands at every England match, flying out with their sons, rather than mingling with the other WAGs in hotels.
Meanwhile, the tabloids have had a field day with Kyle Walker’s attempts to mend fences with Annie, all while Lauryn makes headlines with her “wild” claims and dramatic declarations. Walker has been working overtime to patch things up, refuting allegations from Lauryn that he had invited her and their children to the Euros. His public rebuttal was as sharp as his on-field tackles, aiming to clear the air and focus on his game and marriage recovery (Yahoo) (Ground News).
So, as the Euro 2024 drama unfolds on the pitch, the real action might just be in the stands. With security on high alert, fans can only hope the biggest clashes remain between players on the field, not their families in the stands. Stay tuned, because with this level of drama, anything can happen.
