Kyle Walker has slammed his ex-lover Lauryn Goodman’s ‘wild and untrue’ claims after she said he texted the influencer to invite her and their children to the Euros.
The full-back for England has denied asking his ex-girlfriend to watch him play in Germany this summer.
A spokesperson for Walker added that he and his wife want to ‘move forward away from any drama’.
Walker, 33, captained Manchester City in their 1-0 win over Chelsea yesterday in the FA Cup semi-final in Wembley.
But sources claim he ‘categorically did not invite’ Lauryn or her family to the Euros.
If she makes an appearance, this could overshadow his playing as his wife, Annie, 30, and their four children intend to watch him play.

The Sun reported Lauryn, 33, as telling a friend she is ‘determined’ for her two children to see their father play this summer.
The Instagram influencer is the mother to Walker’s son Kairo, four, and daughter, who is eight-months-old.
She told friends that Walker had previously promised Kairo he could go because he didn’t see the 2022 World Cup.
The Sun reported a source as saying he told Lauryn he wants her there and wants ‘Kairo there to see me play’.
A spokesperson for Walker told MailOnline: ‘Lauryn continues to pursue wild and untrue stories whilst Kyle and Annie attempt to move forward away from any drama.
‘All comments are being dealt with privately and through the proper legal channels as the couple do not wish to engage in further public dispute, particularly where children are involved.’
Last week Kyle’s wife Annie gave birth to their fourth son – which was announced on the day Kairo turned four.
He was at Annie’s side for the birth, although they split up in January when she discovered he was the father of Lauryn’s daughter.
Lauryn became pregnant with Kairo when Kyle was on a break from Annie in 2019 but she took him back and they got married in 2021.
However, Lauryn’s daughter was conceived in October a year later, when the footballer travelled to London.

The Sun reported a source as saying Walker would message his ex saying ‘that win, that celebration was for Kairo’.
He brought his son a World Cup ball and a shirt back from the trip, it was reported.
The source claimed Walker apologised for Kairo not being there in 2022 and wanted him at the Euros games.
The Sun reported the source as saying Kairo ‘idolises’ his father and they had a ‘wonderful relationship’.
Lauryn is set to star in a TV documentary about WAG life. She has not seen her ex since his wife discovered his is the father of both Lauryn’s children.
Annie took her children – sons Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, and Reign, five – to see Walker play in March and ‘Lauryn is just doing the same’, the source is quoted as saying.
They claimed Lauryn isn’t trying to be ‘confrontational’ by going to the summer games and ‘has no malice’.
Earlier today, it was reported that Walker and Annie are looking forward to the future following the birth of their baby and will be leaving his previous infidelities firmly in the past.
They welcomed their fourth child over the weekend and are reportedly ‘overjoyed’ to have expanded their family.
A source close to the couple told the Mirror previously: ‘Kyle and Annie are over the moon and anything in the past isn’t important right now.

‘They’re focusing on their four children as they take priority over everything. Yes, they’ve had hurdles, which Kyle has accepted he was in the wrong but they just want their children to come first.
‘He’s been recovering from an injury and captained England and Manchester City all while being on hand to support Annie after they welcomed the little one.’
They added that focusing on family and Walker’s career is all that matters to them at this time.
Walker and Annie welcomed their new baby over the weekend, after news surfaced in December last year that he had fathered a baby with Lauryn.
A friend told The Daily Mail’s Alison Boshoff that Annie feared that the stress could have taken its toll on the baby and found the media attention during the latter stages of her pregnancy very difficult.
Interviews and social media posts given by Lauryn at the time served to amp up the drama and Annie’s sister Sian spoke of the ‘cruel’ toll which it had taken on her at the time.
The friend said: ‘The whole family are absolutely thrilled about the baby. It is a relief and a source of joy for them all. They want to move forward with their lives away from the drama from here on.
‘The baby came over the weekend and we believe Kyle was with Annie in the hospital to support her as was always planned. Kyle has been a very involved father, and a very good father, throughout everything that has happened.

‘He and Annie are working on their relationship and nobody knows what the future will hold. They have not fully reconciled yet, he is still in his own place.
‘However they do want to send a message that they are united as a family. Annie will continue to support him and they both agree that their family is their priority.’
In an original interview revealing the name of her second child’s father, Lauryn said she was the one who wanted everything to be public.
‘I didn’t want them [Walker and Annie] to split up or cause harm, but it had to be out in the open for all of our sakes,’ she said then, explaining that she had Facetimed with Annie in December last year and shown her their daughter’s DNA test.
Lauryn claimed she and Walker had been in a long relationship and Kyle had been leading a double life, playing the two women off against each other.
Walker’s response, in an interview with The Sun on Sunday, was to call Annie his soul mate and desperately ask her to forgive him. He spoke sorrowfully of ‘idiot choices and idiot decisions’.
He also claimed that he had only slept with Lauryn twice with both infidelities resulting in a baby. He said: ‘There was no relationship. That is something Lauryn could never say.
‘We’ve never been out for food, we’ve never been to the cinema. To have a relationship with someone… would she even know how many sugars I have in my coffee, if I have sugars? She couldn’t tell you.’
