He appeared alongside his son – understood to be Roman, who he shares with his wife Annie Kilner.

Before the event Walker posed for stylish snaps at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House hotel in nearby Mayfair.

This afternoon Annie was spotted for the first time since discovering Walker fathered a second love child with Lauryn Goodman.

The long-suffering wife, 30, was pictured smiling behind the wheel of her luxury Mercedes 4×4 driving through Cheshire this morning.

The bombshell Boxing Day revelation saw the love rat Manchester City defender, 33, turfed out of the family’s sprawling £2.5million pad.

In an online statement Annie revealed the pair, who share three sons together, were splitting.

She wrote: “I am posting this in response to growing recent media enquiries about my marriage to Kyle and in an effort to protect my family against the intensity of the media spotlight.

“Sadly, after many years of marriage and three wonderful children together; I have decided to take some time away from Kyle.

“I do not wish to comment on the position any further. For now, I ask that the privacy of myself and our three young children is respected during this difficult time.”

And, her fuming dad has also begged her not to go back to the footballer – or he will disown her.

Annie has privately vowed to proceed with a divorce and has even hired Coleen Rooney‘s victorious Wagatha Christie lawyer, Paul Lunt.

It comes as Lauryn spoke in an exclusive interview with The Sun on Sunday, and said she revealed the truth so they could all “live their lives like adults”.

The emotional 32-year-old said: “I kept saying to Kyle, ‘You need to tell her.

“‘You need to tell Annie that you are our daughter’s father and you are having a relationship with your children.

“‘We need to start 2024 out in an open way. If everyone knows where they stand they can make their own adult choices in life’.

“I didn’t want to cause any more heartache for Annie or be a b***h but I had to tell her because Kyle was too weak to do it.

“There were hearings coming up surrounding our daughter, there was paperwork flying around and legal meetings had taken place and Annie needed to know the truth before something went public.

“Kyle was happy hiding the truth because he was having two families and was scared about what would happen when Annie knew but I kept saying to him, ‘Our daughter can’t be a secret, she is a human’.

“I didn’t want them to split up or cause harm but it had to be out in the open for all of our sakes.

“When I told Annie, she was cool and calm.”

But, now fresh text messages from Lauryn Goodman’s phone in July 2022 revealed she was “ready to finish” Walker’s marriage.

She texted a pal: “Ready to finish them” — then added laughing and heart emojis.

Another message read: “Ask him if he wants to go with me again? I’m down for baby number 2 [five laughing emojis].”

A pal who sent the text messages to The Sun said: “Lauryn is insisting that she never interfered in their marriage, but I beg to differ — these messages to me say the complete opposite.”

Lauryn became pregnant three months later after a secret rendezvous with Walker in London and gave birth to a girl in July last year.

The influencer also has a three-year-old son with Walker, from a brief relationship while he and Annie were apart.
