Manchester City defender Kyle Walker has tendered a groveling apology to his wife Annie Kilner for fathering two children outside their marriage.
In a deeply emotional moment, an egg-faced Walker admitted it is time for him to "own up" to his mistakes.
Candidly, Walker described his actions as "horrible" and added he takes full responsibility for them all.
"What I’ve done is horrible and I take full responsibility," he told The Sun.
The England right-back added his actions were silly and that he couldn't even imagine what Kilner was going through due to his 'idiotic choices.'
“I made idiot choices and idiot decisions. I can’t begin to think or imagine what Annie is going through. I’ve tried to ask her but there’s pain and hurt.
“The only person to blame is me. I have roles and responsibilities that I’m aware of and I’ve made stupid choices. But I need to own up to my mistakes — I owe it to everyone," he added.
Recall Walker reportedly had an affair with UK model Lauryn Goodman back in 2020. He had a son with Goodman. As per The Sun, Walker's wife and mother-of-three Annie Kilner, 30, learned of Walker's new child on social media when Lauryn Goodman came public with her affair with the footballer and their son.
Goodman reportedly messaged Annie Kilner - a move that nearly tore apart Kyle Walker's matrimonial home.
Goodman's gesture lifted the lid on Walker's scandalous sex escapades. The footballer was tossed around in the mills of major media houses in the UK. The development nearly grounded his Manchester City career as he considered leaving City for a new challenge away from England.
“I tried to escape,” he said. “Did I want to leave City? No, of course I didn’t. We’re the best team in the world at the minute. But it was a chance to get away from England and the media I was going to get. I was aware the clock was ticking. I came very close to moving. We were having conversations. I was going to a great club, a massive club.
“But in the end, I couldn’t go. If I’m in Germany and this happens, Annie leaves and I’m now in Germany on my own. My kids wouldn’t be around the corner where I can see them. There’s pain and emotion at the moment but I can go to the house, take the kids to school, and my little lad to football.”
Kyle Walker was still with Annie Kilner when he welcomed his first child with Lauryn Goodman. A long-suffering Annie Kilner shoved the wanton behavior of her footballer husband to keep the family together. Meanwhile, Walker repeatedly debunked his affair with Goodman before the Instagram model publicized their secret affair.
On January 10, 2024, an emotional Annie Kilner finally took the hard decision to split from Walker. Taking to her social media handle, Kilner revealed 'she has decided to take some time away from Kyle to protect her family from media spotlights.'
Kilner's decision to split from Kyle was linked to the Manchester City star recently fathering another child from Lauryn Goodman after his first child back in 2020.
Close sources reveal that before the split by Kilner, Kyle Walker had already left the family home in Cheshire and was living in a rented apartment.

Despite having two children now with Lauryn Goodman, Kyle Walker has denied being emotionally attached to Goodman but it is believed the affair has taken a toll on "innocent Annie".
Meanwhile, Walker and Annie Kilner are expecting their fourth child together but the pair are living separately after Goodman's latest saga.
