In a shocking turn of events, England and Manchester City defender Kyle Walker is facing the end of his marriage after his wife Annie Kilner filed for divorce.
The couple, who were childhood sweethearts, have seen their relationship crumble in the wake of a series of infidelity scandals involving the footballer.
The 34-year-old was served with divorce papers weeks ago, as tensions rose following the revelation that he had fathered a second child with former mistress Lauryn Goodman.
Sources say the couple are no longer on speaking terms, and Walker is now consulting lawyers as he prepares for a bitter legal battle over their £27 million fortune.
“Kyle was stunned when he got the divorce papers,” a source close to the couple revealed. “This doesn’t necessarily mean they will divorce, but it’s as much Annie flexing her muscles as anything else. She wants Kyle to know she’s not messing about.”
The couple’s tumultuous relationship history has been well-documented, with Walker’s numerous infidelities and sex scandals testing their bond to the limit.
From alleged trysts with a reality TV star to a lockdown-breaking orgy, the defender’s off-field antics have repeatedly threatened to derail his marriage.
The final straw appears to have been the revelation that Walker had fathered a child with Goodman, an Instagram influencer, while his wife was pregnant with their fourth son.
Annie, 31, was reportedly “broken” by the news, which came just months after Walker had begged her to take him back following another indiscretion.
“What he has done to me and our children is obscene,” Annie said in a previous interview. “I don’t think I’ll ever be the same again because of what he’s done.”
The couple, who married in a secret ceremony in 2021, now face a bitter legal battle as Annie seeks to secure her and her children’s financial future. With the court papers revealing the staggering sums Walker has been paying his mistress, it’s clear this divorce is set to be a high-stakes affair.
As the drama unfolds, the once-adoring public will be watching closely to see if this England star can salvage his crumbling marriage or if it’s truly the end of the road for Kyle and Annie.
