Kyle Walker is considering taking out a harassment order against his ex Lauryn Goodman to protect the four young children he has with wife Annie Kilner, friends of the Man City star have claimed.
Walker, 34, is battling to save his marriage with Annie, 32, after fathering not one but two children with his former mistress Goodman.
The mother-of-two, who was branded ‘difficult, unreasonable and demanding’ by a judge during her child maintenance battle with Walker last month, often takes swipes at her ex and his family on social media for the world to see.
Walker is now said to be taking matters into his own hands by contacting his lawyers over the posts, a source told The Mirror, adding that the star is desperate to protect the four sons he has with Annie.
Two law firms have allegedly advised him he has grounds to take action, with the footballer said to be ‘carefully looking at options’.

In the pair’s child maintenance battle last month, which Goodman lost, the judge accused the reality TV star of using Walker as an ‘open-ended chequebook’.
Judge Edward Hess also slammed Goodman for deliberately causing distress to Kyle’s wife.
However, since the judgement, matters have only got worse for the footballer, according to the source.
‘It has gotten worse with stories appearing every day and Lauryn posting regularly on her social media,’ the source told The Mirror.
‘It’s become impossible for Annie and the kids to ignore.’
They added: ‘[Walker] is being advised what his best options are, although he really doesn’t want to have to take steps like this.’

Walker shares two children with Goodman, four-year-old son Kairo and one-year-old daughter Kinara.
Annie previously threw Walker out of their £3.5million family home in Cheshire after discovering he had fathered a second child with Goodman.
But in April Walker is said to have been by Annie’s side as she gave birth to their fourth son, who the couple named Rezon.
Annie announced in January that she was taking ‘some time away’ from her marriage but they are now said to be working through their issues.
A spokewoman for Kyle Walker declined to comment. has contacted Goodman’s representatives for comment.
