Kyle Walker’s ex-lover has been sharing constant content on social media around the competition and for their clash with Switzerland she posted a snap of her two sons wearing England shirts with the phrase “Daddy” on them.
‘They know Annie and Kyle have tried to deal with the situation privately and discreetly for the sake of all the children involved, but she continues to do things like draw attention to the fact that she is going to the Euros.
‘This is something they have had to endure for the last four years.
‘Kyle is desperate to protect Annie and their children, no matter what happens between them as a couple in the future, they both agree that this is a priority.
“And a big part of that is protecting them from the media speculation and the circus surrounding the situation.”
Kyle and his wife Annie had a frosty reunion after England beat Switzerland in the Euro 2019 quarter-finals in Dusseldorf on Saturday.
After the final whistle, the 33-year-old footballer headed to the stands where the 30-year-old mother of four had been watching the match with her children.
While other couples hugged and kissed, Annie and Kyle simply talked before handing over their two-month-old baby, Rezon.
Kyle took the little boy from his wife and kissed him gently on the forehead before showing him to his teammates.
A spokeswoman for Kyle told MailOnline: “Kyle is proud to be part of the England squad and thrilled with tonight’s incredible result. He remains focused on the games and his goal of bringing the trophy home for the millions of fans watching.”
‘Annie and the lads travelled to support him and the whole team, as they have and always will, and once again asked that the media give them privacy and focus their attention on supporting the England team.’

Meanwhile, Lauryn watched the game at home with her and Kyle’s two children. who dressed him in matching England shirts with Kyle’s on the back and the word “Daddy” on the back.
Kyle and wife Annie also share Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, and Reign, five, with the England vice-captain, and the boys have also been spotted at matches wearing Kyle’s No.2 shirt.
Lauryn captioned her post: ‘Go England, always supporting.’
Annie arrived in Germany earlier in the day on a £35,000 private jet, and despite being at every game, she apparently vowed to “not play happy families” with her husband in Germany.
Last Sunday, Annie watched from the stands at the Veltins-Arenat as she fed her son Rezon while Kyle and his teammates struggled to make an impact during a harrowing Euro 2024 round of 16 match.
England were trailing 1-0 to Slovakia before snatching victory from the jaws of defeat in Gelsenkirchen.
Annie once again arrived by private jet, travelling from her Cheshire home with the couple’s four children after her marriage was rocked by the full-back’s admission of fathering a child out of wedlock with influencer Lauryn.
And her friends have claimed she has the full backing of her fellow WAGS throughout the tournament, with England set to play Switzerland in the quarter-finals on Saturday after coming from behind to beat Slovakia 2-1.
A source told MailOnline: ‘Annie flew in on a private jet with her four children to support Kyle and the team for the first knockout game against Slovakia.
‘They love watching the team, cheering on their father and mixing with the other families on the pitch. It’s what they’re used to, having grown up surrounded by the world of football and nothing will change that.
“Knowing that he is being cheered on from the stands, along with other members of his family, means a lot to him.
‘Annie is surrounded by love from the other WAGs who admire her strength and resilience. The WAGs recently pledged their support amid the circus involving Lauryn and they want Annie to know that they have her and Kyle’s back.
‘They are all one big family, no matter what happens between the adults, and they come together to support the younger ones.’
Annie has been dealing with drama in her private life for several months after he was named as the father of TV star Lauryn’s children.
Influencer Lauryn, 33, was embroiled in a paternity scandal earlier this year when it was revealed the married footballer fathered her eight-month-old daughter, four years after they welcomed son Kairo while with Annie.
Annie and Lauryn have been at odds for several years after Lauryn named Kyle as the father of her two children: four-year-old Kairo and a ten-month-old daughter.
Last month, Lauryn took Kairo to Frankfurt to cheer on her dad as he vice-captained the England team against Denmark.
Unlike Annie and the rest of the WAGs, there was no private jet to get her there. Together with her grandfather John, she took a commercial flight and stayed at a hotel she paid for herself near the stadium.
Annie was said to be “furious” at the time.
