Kyle Walker has denied buying custom football uniforms for the two young children he shares with Lauryn Goodman.
The Manchester City player, 34, and his wife Annie Kilner have Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, Reign, five, and five-month-old baby Rezon. Kinara, 13 months, and Kairo, four, after a romance with Lauryn.
He became embroiled in a paternity scandal and a legal battle when it was revealed that he had fathered two children with the model.
As England played in the Euros this summer, Lauryn dressed her son Kairo and daughter Kinara in full football kits, while the children Kyle shares with Annie were also spotted at matches wearing his No. 2 shirt.
He previously claimed the footballer had bought the kits for Kairo and Kinara, but a source has now told MailOnline that he did not personalise the shirts, but Lauryn personalised them herself.

The Manchester City player, 34, and his wife Annie Kilner have Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, Reign, five, and five-month-old baby Rezon. He also has Kinara, 13 months, and Kairo, four, after a romance with Lauryn
They explained: ‘Kyle bought a simple kit for Kairo and then Lauryn went out and bought another one for Kinara.
“She had them personalized with Dad’s name and phone number. That aspect had nothing to do with Kyle.”
MailOnline has contacted Lauryn’s representative for comment.
Lauryn took Kairo to see her father Kyle play in Germany and received both praise and criticism for her decision.
The influencer attended England’s match against Denmark at the Deutsche Bank Park stadium in Frankfurt in June and was photographed carrying Kairo, who was waving an England flag, in his arms as he arrived at the stadium.
While some social media users claimed Lauryn should have “stayed away” from the game, others praised Lauryn for going.
Although Annie attended all of England’s matches, she had apparently vowed “not to play happy families” with her husband in Germany after Kyle admitted to being Kinara’s father.
Annie sat with other WAGs to support her husband, while Lauryn sat in a separate stand with her grandfather.
“I can’t tell you how excited I was,” Lauryn said in an exclusive interview with the Mail. “I was jumping up and down.”

A source said: ‘Kyle bought a plain kit for Kiaro and then Lauryn went out and bought another one for Kinara. She had them personalised with dad and her number herself.’
Lauryn took Kairo to see her father Kyle play in Germany and received both praise and criticism for her decision.
She revealed that her main motivation behind the trip to Frankfurt was to fulfil a promise Kyle had made to his son in 2022, when she was secretly pregnant with their second child, and he was playing in the World Cup in Qatar.
‘Kyle told him on a FaceTime call that he would make sure he was in the next tournament because (Kyle) is getting older and he knew there might not be any more opportunities.
“There was no way I wasn’t going to take Kairo to the Euros,” Lauryn said. “There was no way I wasn’t going to keep the promise Kyle made to his son. This could have been his last chance, so I wanted it to be something Kairo could remember forever.
“We’re not here to please other people. This is about Kairo and what’s best for him and what will make him happy.
“I will not be scapegoated or bullied or made to feel like a villain. My children are my number one priority and always will be. Luckily, I am a strong woman and a mother to them.”
The romance began when Lauryn met Kyle in 2019, when he was in the midst of a breakup with Annie.
Despite his infidelity and the birth of their son Kairo, Kyle and Annie remained together in Cheshire while Lauryn raised their son hundreds of miles away in Brighton.
Although Annie attended all of England’s matches, she had apparently vowed “not to play happy families” with her husband in Germany after Kyle admitted to being Kinara’s father.
Annie kicked Kyle out of their family home in Prestbury, Cheshire, and he moved into a flat nearby.
Then, last December, it was revealed that the daughter Lauryn had given birth to last summer was also Kyle’s.
Annie kicked Kyle out of the family home in Prestbury, Cheshire, and he moved into a flat nearby.
However, after Annie gave birth to their fourth child in April, they began to patch up their marriage, reportedly on the condition that Kyle cut off all contact with Lauryn and their children.
Meanwhile, Lauryn is raising her children as a single mother in a £2.4million home in Hove, East Sussex, which Kyle bought for them as part of his support obligations.
