Wednesday, October 16, 2024 - Manchester City defender, Kyle Walker's
estranged wife, Annie Kilner has reportedly filed for divorce from the
footballer a few years after the couple said 'I do' following the ongoing
scandals surrounding his infidelities.
Kyle, 34, who wed childhood sweetheart Kilner, 33, in 2021, has been
involved in a paternity scandal after he secretly fathered two children with
influencer Lauryn Goodman during 'brief flings'.
Annie had taken the footballer back after his first affair but
struggled to keep up appearances after he went behind her back for a second
time with Lauryn.
She discovered Lauryn's second child was her husband's after she was
sent a devastating text on December 27, while pregnant with her fourth baby
with the defender.
In the message, Lauryn said: "Hey it's Lauryn. I just wanted
to quickly tell you that Kyle is the father of our daughter."
Shortly after Goodman confirmed the paternity of Kinara, 1, Annie and
Kyle briefly separated.
Now, sources claim it is finally over for the couple who met while
at school and Annie isn't holding back as she's gearing her lawyers to
allegedly fight for half of Kyle's whopping £27 million fortune.
Reports claim that Kyle and Annie are no longer on speaking terms and
the England national team vice-captain has also instructed his own legal aids.
It's believed that Kyle was served the papers by Annie ten days
ago and has been sleeping separately from his wife for a number of days,
despite being in the same home.
"Kyle was stunned when he got the papers," a source
told The Sun. They added: "He's spoken to Annie about them and they
are discussing the next steps. This doesn't necessarily mean they will divorce.
She wants Kyle to know she's not messing about. But if this is a bluff, it may
well back-fire."
A source told MailOnline: "She is divorcing Kyle because she
just can't forgive him for what he's done to her. She can't get over it. She
has tried. Kyle seems to have accepted it's over. He's been happier in the last
week or so. Like the weight of the world's been lifted from his
shoulders." Despite the turmoil in his personal life, Walker appears to be
keeping them at the back of his mind after he was spotted on
a golf course in Cheshire on Tuesday, appearing to not have a care in
the world.
Kyle has previously admitted his regret at hurting Annie due to
his extramarital affairs. He said: "What I've done is horrible and I take
full responsibility. I made idiot choices and idiot decisions."
Speaking previously to the Mirror, a source said: "Annie and
Kyle are looking forward to a resolution of the whole situation and hope that
this latest chapter brings them just that." It comes after Kyle was hurled
in front of a Royal Courts of Justice about the two children he shares with
Goodman.
Our source went on to add: "All they want is to work on their
relationship, in private, to see what the future holds for them and their young
family but have been unable to with the glare of the media - often led by
Lauryn. Kyle has taken responsibility for what he called his 'idiotic choices'
and will always provide for Lauryn's children financially."
