Manchester City defender Kyle Walker is once again facing backlash over his turbulent personal life. According to The Sun, the England international failed for a second consecutive year to send Christmas gifts to the children he shares with ex-lover Lauryn Goodman.

"All of their mutual friends have talked to Kyle. They feel really upset for the children and for Lauryn, who is always trying to do right by their kids. They were hoping Kyle would put aside his differences for the sake of the children. But to leave them with nothing to open for another year is just really sad," a source told The Sun.
Walker’s affair with Goodman led to a highly publicized fallout with his wife, Annie, who filed for divorce after learning of Lauryn's pregnancy with Kyle’s child. Under the divorce terms, Annie is reportedly seeking half of Walker’s £27 million fortune.
Kyle and Annie share four children, and despite their strained relationship, Annie allowed him to spend Christmas with their kids for the sake of family harmony.
However, his children with Lauryn were left without their father’s attention—and without gifts under the tree—this holiday season.
