Lauryn Goodman is reportedly set to move to Italy next week in order to be closer to former flame Kyle Walker. 

Kyle, 34, is currently abroad playing for AC Milan, with reports claiming that his relationship with wife Annie Kilner, 33, is so strained that they are ‘barely talking’ and in ‘separate rooms’.  

Tensions were said to have risen between the pair following the rumours that Kyle’s ex-mistress Lauryn could move to Italy too, with her and Kyle’s two children. 

Now it seems Lauryn has followed through, with a source telling The Sun: ‘Lauryn wants to be as accommodating as she can. She always wants to do the best for her children.

‘Lauryn was happy when Kyle signed for Italy as Saudi would’ve been a bit too far and would feel more final, but Italy was a stone’s throw away.

‘It felt a lot closer than her commute to Cheshire with how busy the roads can be… Lauryn is excited for new adventures with her children.’

It marks a U-turn from Lauryn’s past remarks, who last week claimed she ‘wished’ to have the option to relocate abroad after being embroiled in an affair and ‘intrusive’ court case with the footballer.

The family court showdown saw her slammed for ‘treating the footballer as an open-ended check book’ by the judge as she insisted ‘I’ll never give up on my kids.’

In an interview with The Mirror on Saturday, Lauryn addressed her plans, admitting ‘Kyle could be on Mars’ for all she cares.

She explained: ‘For the last year I wished to have the option to move abroad because, with all of the drama, I’d like a life reset, but I’m not sure how that looks for us at the minute or what that entails.

‘It makes no difference to me where [Kyle] is, he could be on Mars right now for all I care.’

MailOnline has contacted Lauryn’s representatives for comment.  

Lauryn’s supposed move could cause more issues between Annie and Kyle – who have four children of their own.

The couple were said to be planning to ‘put things behind them’ after their marriage was nearly destroyed last year when Kyle was revealed to be the father of both of Lauryn’s children.  

A source told MailOnline: ‘This is a good opportunity to put things behind them and make a go of it as a family unit. It will be a challenge in a new country, but they are willing to give it a go.’

The move to Italy was said to be an attempt for a ‘clean break’ for Kyle and Annie after a rocky past few years (Kyle pictured signing his AC Milan contract last week)

Last year, Annie filed for divorce and kicking the footballer out of the family home in Cheshire, after she discovered he had secretly fathered a second child with Lauryn.

An insider said: ‘The couple are committed to keeping their family as united as possible and protecting their four boys from any fallout.

‘They enjoyed Christmas together, as a family, and continue to work on their own relationship but as yet no decisions have been made.’

They added: ‘They would love time and peace away from the spotlight and rumours to be able to continue working on things behind the scenes.’

Now, friends of the couple have said that their marriage is ‘as bad as it’s ever been’ after the footballer failed to discuss his AC Milan move with Annie.

The pair allegedly ‘couldn’t bring themselves to say goodbye to one another’ before the footballer jetted off to Milan.

It was previously reported Annie stood her ground and stayed home to celebrate her friend’s 40th birthday following an alleged row with Kyle. 

Annie had initially been set to arrive in Italy last month with their sons, Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, Reign, five, and nine-month-old baby Rezon, before being delayed first by the stormy weather and then by the fresh row.

The WAG eventually relented and flew out from Manchester City on a private jet with her children to meet Kyle for his AC Milan debut.

While hopes were rising for a fresh start in Milan as a family, friends have said all is not what it seems as Annie is still contemplating joining him.

A friend reportedly told The Sun: ‘That’s how strained things are at the moment. It’s as bad as it’s ever been. He didn’t even sit her down and discuss moving to Italy. He just said “I’m going, it’s up to you if you come with me”.

‘They’re not in a great place and are barely talking. It’s still unclear if Annie will actually join him permanently in Italy.

‘Everything is up in the air but, then again, it’s been like this ever since the scandal was exposed.’

The WAG was said to be ‘sick and tired’ of dropping everything for her husband Kyle.

Before jetting off to Milan, Annie was pictured enjoying various events at home, keeping her followers updated by sharing photos to Instagram.

A friend told MailOnline: ‘Annie was really excited about the party as it was going to be one of the first times she’d let her hair down since Rezon. 

‘When the news came of Kyle’s signing, she was torn between going straight over and sticking to her original plans.’

They added: ‘She made a promise at new year to put herself first every now and then so did just that – she knew there were lots of opportunities ahead to visit Milan to support Kyle ahead of the family move should the contact become permanent.’
