Lauryn Goodman's grandmother has waded into her WAG war with Annie Kilner claiming that she is not 'innocent' and has had affairs herself.

Lauryn and Annie, wife of Manchester City and England star Kyle Walker have been locked in a bitter feud that has often played out on social media with the two regularly taking digs at each other.

Annie shares four children with Walker, but their marriage hit the rocks after Lauryn sensationally revealed late last year that he had fathered a second child with her, leading to an ugly war of words between the WAGs.

In the latest twist, Lauryn's maternal grandmother Carole Elizabeth Shrader took to Instagram to defend her granddaughter after she was being trolled for her involvement with the footballer.

Sharing her thoughts on the messy saga for the first time, Carole declared: 'she (Annie) had her own affairs, not the innocent wife everyone believes her to be,' followed by a shocked face emoji.

Carole posted her resolute defence in response to hundreds of comments Lauryn received on Instagram after posting a picture of herself standing in a short black dress in what appears to be a TV studio with the caption: 'Behind every strong individual is a story that left them with two options. Sink or f**king swim.'

Following Lauryn's post, a source close to Annie told MailOnline: 'She's not seen it or the message from her nan because it's utter nonsense and Annie's got better things to do. Sadly, it's just more of the same rubbish that Lauryn has regularly put out there on social media and now some of her family are joining in.

'Annie and Kyle are livid that Lauryn keeps dragging this issue into the public eye. They are sick and tired of how she's conducting herself.'

Lauryn's latest post led to hundreds of comments and in her responses, she appears to take further digs at Annie.

Responding to one comment that Annie 'is the only innocent party in all this,' Lauryn writes: 'is she? In my opinion from what I know I really don't think she is.'

The influencer, 33, shares four-year-old son Kairo and a daughter, named Kinara, 1, with Walker. She chose to disclose her name earlier this week after a year of keeping it a secret.

Kairo was born after childhood sweethearts Walker, 34 and Annie, 32 had temporarily split but Kinanra was conceived once he was back with his wife.

Lauryn controversially messaged Annie last Boxing Day, when she was pregnant with her and Walker's fourth child, to tell her he was Kinara's father.

Asked about why she sent such a 'blunt' message by one Instagram user, she claimed: 'that message isn't what I sent to her...the message I sent to her is in my blog...but I'm glad you don't believe everything you read and the 'narrative' they're pushing so hard.'

Lauryn was also asked if she knew if Walker was married when she became involved with him, given that he is in the 'public eye.'

She responded: 'I did find out and I asked him. I then got told it wasn't as it seemed and she'd just put it out to the press but it wasn't true etc and there's more to it as to why I believed him but I did until the neighbour gave me their marriage certificate.'

Last month, Lauryn lost her court battle with Walker over how much money she should receive for their children.

Judge Edward Hess slammed her for 'insatiable greed' claiming that she attempted to use Walker, who earns around £160,000 per week, as an 'open ended cheque book' and 'repeatedly threatened him in order to get what she wanted'.

Her demands included a £31,000 Astro Turf, £30,000 for air conditioning, a £70,000 car allowance every three years, plus a car for the nanny and £150,000 annual child maintenance.

In his ruling the judge also slammed Lauryn for her Boxing Day message to Annie declaring: 'This was intended to, and did, cause distress to the father's wife (Annie).

'I do not accept the mother's explanation that this text message was sent in an attempt to create a good working relationship between the two women in the father's life.'

But Lauryn also took a swipe at the judge in her latest Instagram outburst declaring: 'I hope Hess got the publicity I think he craved. So sorry to hear you were on the receiving end of him. Love always wins deep down though.'
