Man City captain Kyle Walker has been undergoing a difficult period of time in his personal life after separating from his wife Annie Kilner.
The Englishman has been accused of cheating on Kilner multiple times over the years and even having children with UK TV personality Lauryn Goodman.
Walker recently opened up on his personal life and which managers helped him during his tough period, saying: “He [Guardiola] didn’t know what was happening. I didn’t want to tell him because I didn’t want him to think I wasn’t mentally there. I can’t thank him enough for the understanding and belief he’s shown in me through four years.”
The England international also confirmed that Gareth Southgate sent him a supportive text during his troubles, adding: “For your national team manager to reach out in a time of need goes beyond football.”
Walker is currently living all on his own in a rented apartment after separating from Kilner, as he tries to focus on helping Man City. The Englishman has made 29 appearances for the Citizens this season and remains a key part of Pep Guardiola’s side.
