His devastated wife, Annie, 30, was sent a message “out of the blue” on Boxing Day alleging that Kyle was the father of Lauryn’s second baby.
Tearful Annie confronted the Man City full-back and the pair argued before she ordered him to leave the family home.
Instagram influencer Lauryn - who gave birth to a baby girl in July - has been dogged by rumours that Kyle is the father .
A source said: “It absolutely floored her, he’d humiliated her once and now she suspected he’d done it again with the same woman.
“It came out of the blue on Boxing Day- couldn’t have been a worse time to receive such a claim about her husband.”
Humiliated Annie, 30, had agreed to stand by her husband after Lauryn gave birth to his son Kairo in April 2020.
She branded his betrayal “obscene” but insisted on keeping their family together.
But she snapped after the confrontation with the Three Lions star on Boxing Day and has vowed to divorce him- it’s not known what he said.
Another source told how the marriage had been on the rocks for months after Lauryn taunted her online about the identity of the baby’s father.
They added: “She didn’t want to believe it, but she was obviously suspicious after his previous love child.”
The source said Kyle had moved into a luxury apartment in Prestbury, Cheshire, but continues to see the three kids he has with Annie.
Friends said there was “no chance” Annie would reconcile with the shamed player who has remained tight-lipped.
Annie wrote on Instagram yesterday: “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.”
Any divorce could spark a multi-million legal battle over his £30million fortune.
The couple wed in November 2021 but have been together for 15 years after meeting as teenagers in their home city of Sheffield, South Yorks.
Annie loyally followed him when he signed for Tottenham and again when he made his £50million move to Manchester City.
The shock split comes after a series of sex scandals involving the Three Lions full-back who captained his country for the first time in November.
Annie kicked him out in 2019 after Ex On The Beach star Laura Brown said they repeatedly romped in his Bentley.
She took the £160,000-a-week defender back but gave him the boot again when he revealed Instagram influencer Lauryn Goodman, 32, was having his baby.
Walker moved into an £8,000-a-month flat nearby Hale, Cheshire -— but was then caught breaching lockdown rules by having an orgy with two hookers.
The defender and a pal agreed to pay escort Louise McNamara, 21, and a 24-year-old Brazilian call girl £2,200 in cash.
