Annie Kilner and Kyle Walker have revealed the touching meaning behind their fourth son's name. 

The couple welcomed their newborn Rezon together earlier this month after a 'devastating' and 'difficult' time for Annie, who discovered in December that Walker had fathered a second child with Instagram influencer Lauryn Goodman. 

While the birth is yet to be registered, it is understood the choice was 'deliberate' as the parents wished for all of their sons to have names beginning with 'R'. 

The pair also share Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, and Reign, five, therefore Rezon fits with the pattern. 

The name is also a controversial Biblical figure from the Old Testament as Rezon was a Syrian ruler who was an enemy of King Solomon.

The birth has yet to be registered but a source told MailOnline that they are unlikely to change their minds because those within their circle have been informed.

They: 'Kyle is busy with football and hasn't had time to register the birth but both him and Annie are happy with the name Rezon. Family and friends who have seen the baby are already calling him that.

'They wanted the name of their latest son to also begin with R. We're not sure how they came across the name Rezon because I don't think either of them know the Old Testament very well.

Who was the Old Testament figure Rezon? 

Rezon was a Syrian ruler mentioned in the Old Testament's Book of Kings in the Bible.

He was also known as Ezron as well as Rezon the Syrian and was an enemy of King Solomon.

He became king in Syria's capital Damascus after the death of Hadadezer, who Rezon had previously deserted.

He is said to have led a 'band of marauders' helping him claim the crown.

Rezon is described in the text as 'an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon', harrying the neighbouring country's borders.

'It took them a few days to agree on this name. It's very ancient and different, I'll give them that. It caused quite a surprise amongst those who were told because they'd never heard it before and didn't know what it meant.'

Annie, 30, gave birth earlier this month with Manchester City and England footballer Walker, 33, by her side.

The past few months have been a rollercoaster for Annie, after she discovered in December last year – when she was pregnant - that her sportsman husband had fathered a second child with Lauryn.

Kyle has been living in a rented house away from the family home since January, but the couple - who already share sons Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, and Reign, five - have continued to co-parent as they attempt to rebuild their marriage.

In the Old Testament, Rezon originated from Syria and was the leader of a group of bloodthirsty marauders who were sworn enemies of Israel and spent decades fighting its army.

Since news of Kyle's second child with Lauryn emerged, sources told MailOnline he has not seen her or the siblings.

Instagram influencer Lauryn is the mother to Kyle's son Kairo, four, and daughter, who is known to family and friends as KK and is eight months old.

Lauryn became pregnant with Kairo when Kyle was on a break from Annie in 2019 but he was taken back and they got married in 2021.

However, Lauryn's daughter was conceived in October a year later when the footballer had travelled to London.

The source said: 'It's really sad because Kairo really loves his dad but hasn't seen him at all for the past few months.

'It's a very difficult situation for all those involved but the kids are the innocent victims in all of this. My heart goes out to them.

'Kyle isn't happy with the way Lauryn has conducted herself but at the end of the day, he loves all his kids. But his focus now is on getting his marriage back on track.'

Concerns are now increasing that Kyle's performance on the pitch at the forthcoming Euros could be overshadowed by events off it if both Annie and Lauryn attend the tournament in Germany this summer to watch him play.

Annie is expected to be part of the official WAGs group with their four children.

But Lauryn has reportedly told friends that she is also determined to travel with their two children and that Kyle had previously promised Kairo he could go because he did not attend the 2022 World Cup.

A source told MailOnline: 'The family are worried for Kyle because if both women go, it will definitely dominate the headlines. People will be more interested in his domestic difficulties rather than how he plays.

'It could be a bit of a disaster and will bring back a lot of painful memories for Annie. She's doing her best to focus on the kids and the marriage. Having Lauryn around at such a high-profile event is not going to help.'

A spokesperson for Kyle slammed claims that he had invited Lauryn and their two children to the Euros as 'wild and untrue'.

The footballer was already a father to Goodman's son, Kairo following a brief romance with the influencer during a previous separation from Annie (pictured: Lauryn and Kairo)

A spokesperson for Kyle, pictured captaining England in a Wembley friendly against Brazil last month, has denied he invited Lauryn to this summer's Euros

The spokesperson told MailOnline: '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.'

Lauryn is set to star in a TV documentary about WAG life.

A source insisted she was not trying to be 'confrontational' by going to Germany for the Euros and 'has no malice'.
