The England team WAGs have once again set tongues wagging during the Euro 2024 tournament.

This year, the likes of Annie Kilner, Megan Pickford, Dani Dyer and Tolami Benson, the girlfriend of Bukayo Saka have all jetted to Europe to support their beaus. But although it's only week two of the matches, the WAGs have certainly drawn their fair share of attention to themselves.

Last week, Kyle Walker's wife Annie jetted out to Frankfurt to support her husband of two years. But her support was overshadowed when Lauryn Goodman also headed to the stadium with her son, Kario, who she shares with the Sheffield native.

Social media influencer Lauryn shares two children with Walker, 34, who were conceived during what a source close to the England vice-captain said were brief flings. Lauryn had previously claimed that Kyle had invited her and Kairo out to the game so his son could see him play in the match but this was later shut down.

A source close to Kyle told the Mirror: "Lauryn and her children are welcome to enjoy the games and to go to watch the matches if they want to, but we would question why she wants to do it in such a public way. Contrary to previous reports, Kyle has not offered Lauryn any tickets, the people supporting him in the ground are his wife Annie and their children."

After flying to the Euros game, Lauryn faced intense criticism from fans who believed that she should 'keep away' from both Kyle and Annie. While Annie flew out on a chartered jet, Lauren opted for a commercial airline for her flights to the continent. Following the match, Walker was seen surrounded by his wife as she congratulated him on their 1-1 performance.

But things haven't stopped there this week, Kieran Trippier's wife Charlotte sent the rumour mill into overdrive just 24 hours before England played Slovenia. Taking to her Instagram account, the 33-year-old shared a snap which read: "Sooner or later you get over the s*** you swore you'd never get over and it's the best feeling in the world." She then followed that up with the words: "The sun is shining. Happy Monday angels."

It has since become public that Charlotte has unfollowed Kieran on social media – but the reason is unknown. Kieran, however, is still following his wife on the photo-sharing platform. Charlotte hasn't flown out to support Kieran at England's matches. Kieran, who is currently staying with his teammates has also been snapped wearing his wedding ring. On Monday, Tolami, Saka's partner shared a candid update with her social media followers. Sitting at her laptop, the beauty PR executive said: "Between games days and work my hair's gonna fall out."

Although England manager Gareth Southgate is keen to keep any drama at bay, last week he allowed a visit for the wives and girlfriends of the team. Speaking to the MailOnline, a source said that the WAGs and families have "been warned by the FA of the importance of their domestic troubles not leaking out."

The source went on to say: "Gareth Southgate and the FA will be furious that their approach of trying to keep personal news about the players from appearing in the media during the Euros has seemingly failed. The FA has made a big attempt to keep a lid on things, especially when it comes to Kyle Walker but they've not been able to stop it, which will be very frustrating for them. It's actually been a bit of a disaster because first you had Lauryn Goodman going to Germany and now there's all this speculation surrounding Trippier."
