'It was a slow death' Walker devastated Annie with his 2nd secret child

KYLE Walker tells The Sun today that his family are “all I've got” — and he has let them down.

The England and Manchester City defender admitted he was ­selfish not to tell his pregnant wife about his second secret child — and says: “It was a slow death for me and for Annie.”

Annie's world imploded just after Christmas when she received a devastating Instagram message out of the blue from Lauryn Goodman, who told her that Kyle had fathered another child with her.

For the first time he publicly admits: “I'm sorry that I have had a second child with Lauryn and hurt my best friend.

“It's horrible to say that out loud.

“I've hurt someone I truly believe is my soulmate.

“It's tough to not have her.

"This isn't an interview for me to tell the world how much I care about her because that's down to me and Annie and what we feel.

“Annie knows I'm sorry.

“I'm sorry because as a family this isn't meant to happen.

“They are all I've got.

“I'm not asking for pity.

“I've let Annie and my boys down, I've let my mum and dad down, my nan down.”

Last year, Lauryn, 32, welcomed their second child — a baby girl — conceived during a brief liaison in London.

Annie then became pregnant with their fourth just weeks later and is due to give birth in March.

Kyle said: “It pains me to think (of how she is coping while pregnant).

“I've never not been there.

“To not be there when she needs me the most, but to know that you've caused that hurt, that's something I have to live with now.”

Lauryn told Annie she deserved to know the truth and provided DNA results and legal letters that confirmed her worst fears.
