Lauryn Goodman has her sights set on a new life overseas, but her actions are being branded as “harassment” by Annie Kilner, the wife of Kyle Walker.
Lauryn, who shares two kids with the Manchester City footballer, is reportedly considering leaving Britain for a fresh start.
This news surfaced just before it was revealed that Kyle, too, is contemplating a move abroad. Amidst rumours that his marriage to Annie is on shaky ground, it was suggested that relocating could offer them a chance to rebuild their family life with their four children.
Following Manchester City’s resounding FA Cup victory over Salford, coach Pep Guardiola hinted at Kyle’s desire to exit the UK.
While there has been speculation about Kyle’s potential transfer to Saudi leagues, a confidant of Kyle and Annie told Mail Online that he is more inclined to remain within Europe, reports the Mirror.
The insider shared with the news outlet: “You have to wonder whether Lauryn was planning a move to Dubai because she thought that Kyle and Annie were off to the Middle East too. She has form for winding them up, particularly Annie, but it hasn’t worked as they have no intention of going there.
“It wasn’t long ago that Lauryn went to Cheshire and got herself papped outside estate agents to make Annie think she would be moving there. She thinks Lauryn is a total wind-up merchant and believes it is harassment.”
A source close to Lauryn has shared: “This isn’t the first time Lauryn has threatened to move there. There have been times in the past when she has felt she is on the losing side and, fed up of everything, she will say she is going off there.”
Currently living in a £2.4 million Sussex mansion owned by the England footballer with their two children, Kairo, aged four, and one year old Kinara, Lauryn is reportedly seeking legal advice about renting out the luxurious home for a year to relocate overseas.
A source disclosed to The Sun: “It’s been a turbulent time for Lauryn and she is keen to have a change of scenery, where she can focus on the children. She loves the idea of living somewhere sunny, like Dubai, temporarily.
“Because Kyle owns the property, she has to ask his permission to rent it out. She would need to do that in order to be able to rent a property abroad. She’s no longer close to her family, so feels she doesn’t have any ties to the UK right now, and has loved taking her children abroad on holiday to get away from everything.”
Meanwhile, Kyle and Annie are also believed to be considering a move to Italy.
A source told The Sun: “Neither of them know what the future holds. But they’re hopeful a switch to Italy will give them the breathing space they desperately need to see if things can be worked out. It’s been impossible to do that in England due to the pressure they’ve been under for the last 12 months.”
