LOVE rat Kyle Walker had “no feelings” for Lauryn Goodman – despite fathering her two kids, a pal has claimed.
The Manchester City defender, 33, was last week revealed to be the dad of Lauryn’s six-month-old daughter.
Despite the affair breaking apart his marriage to wife Annie Kilner, a pal says Lauryn meant nothing to the footballer.
They told the Mirror: “It was effectively just a very, very quick fleeting thing while he was in the area.
“Yes, things happened a few times but there were no feelings, and certainly no romance.”
Kyle also shares son Kairo, three, with the 32-year-old influencer.
He was born following a brief relationship after Kyle split from childhood sweetheart Annie Kilner – before getting back with her.
Speaking to The Sun on Sunday, Lauryn revealed she made secret visits to Manchester so Kyle could see Kairo under his wife’s nose.
But it was during these covert meetups – which included a trip to a petting zoo and football sessions in the garden with Kairo – that the pair became close again.
Lauryn then fell pregnant and gave birth to a daughter last summer but she claims Kyle repeatedly denied the girl was his.
She told The Sun on Sunday, she said the footballer then “tried to control me” in an effort to keep the baby girl a secret from Annie, who already knew about Kairo.
Fighting back tears, she says she kept asking the footballer to come clean with his wife but he was “too weak to do it”.
Left with no other choice and desperate to move forward “like adults”, she broke the news to Annie on December 27.
She said: “I don’t think Annie wanted to believe it was true, which is understandable.
“She kept asking for proof so I showed her the DNA test but even then she doubted it was real until I pointed out my daughter’s name on the paperwork.”
As the women chatted they realised the England defender had lied to them both.
Lauryn says: “She was asking all sorts of questions. I said, ‘I don’t want to hurt you,’ but she insisted on seeing photos, getting details.
“I showed her one of Kyle and Kairo playing football together.
“I know he has got photos of our kids up at Manchester City, I’ve met him lots of times since Kairo was born too. He has met his daughter.”
Walker was later kicked out of the Cheshire home he shared with his wife and three sons.
He is now renting a luxury £8,000-a-month apartment in nearby Hale, Cheshire.
Annie announced last week she was separating from Walker after two years of marriage.
It was confirmed hours later that Kyle is the father of Lauryn’s daughter.
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.
