KYLE Walker missed his son Kairo's 4th birthday party thrown by his ex Lauryn Goodman amid a feud over their second child.
The England footballer was notably absent from the bash - months after reality star Lauryn it was revealed he’s also dad to her ten-month-old daughter.
Kyle previously admitted to making “stupid choices” - but The Sun can reveal friends claim he “doesn't think of his children with Lauryn as a mistake”.
It comes after sources alleged his wife Annie won’t let Kyle have a relationship with his other two children.
The non-negotiable demand is part of her ’terms' to stay with him and dodge divorce.
A source close to Lauryn said: "Kairo had the best day surrounded by all of his friends and family."

They added: "Kyle has already started to tell his friends that he never called his children mistakes in hope of it getting back to Lauryn.
“He said he didn’t mean it and was a poor choice of words and now regrets the fact it’s splashed all over the internet for them to read when they are older.
“He knows that Lauryn has not taken it lightly considering he said he would put all of the children above everything and he hasn’t done that yet.
“He has repeated the same behaviour as the first time round which will result in the same outcome.

“He needs to put all of his children first whether that upsets Annie, his children deserve him to step up and that’s something Annie should have to face if she wants to stick by him.
"The children don’t deserve to be punished. It only resulted in an obstacle when Lauryn’s daughter was conceived, before that their private arrangement worked fine"
A spokeswoman for Kyle said: "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."

Kyle's wife Annie gave birth to their fourth child son last week.
The 31-year-old is already mum to Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, and Reign, five.
The model and influencer is understood to have broken the news to Annie in December.
Annie first 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 Lauryn 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 sex workers.
The defender and a pal agreed to pay escort Louise McNamara, 21, and a 24-year-old Brazilian call girl £2,200 in cash.
He told the girls his name was "Kai" before reportedly pulling out gold-coloured Shine condoms.
He apologised before breaking lockdown rules a second time just weeks later during visits to see his family.
Despite fathering another child, the couple reunited after Annie vowed to stay together for the sake of their three young kids.She had previously been humiliated after Kyle was unmasked as the father of Lauryn’s son Kairo, born in April 2020.
He had promised to have nothing more to do with Lauryn or his son.
The pair resumed contact and then it emerged Lauryn was pregnant with their second child.
The Sun revealed she plans to take their two kids to the Euros — where the England ace’s wife and four boys will also support him.
Lauryn, 33, told a pal: “I am determined my children will get to see their daddy playing for the Three Lions this summer.”
