Kyle Walker’s wife Annie Kilner takes their kids on Man City’s Xmas trip after filing for divorce – but he isn’t there
KYLE Walker’s wife Annie Kilner had her hands full with their four sons on Manchester City’s Christmas trip last night.
The glamorous WAG, 31, looked to be having plenty of fun at the Winter Funland at Trafford Park, Manchester.
Club captain Kyle, 34, wasn’t in attendance but his teammates Phil Foden, Nathan Aké, Ilkay Gundogan and Bernardo Silva all turned up.
Annie, who filed for divorce from Kyle in October, kept things casual in a cropped zip-up black jacket and jeans.
She wore antlers and held youngest Rezon, seven months, for a family photograph with Santa, while Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, and Reign, five, stood close-by.
And she had great success hooking ducks, which put a big smile on her face.
The off-duty footballers got to embrace their inner children, with England ace Foden and Dutchman Aké enjoying rides with their young families.
It comes amid a woeful run of form for City which has seen them win just once in 10 games, their worst run in manager Pep Guardiola‘s nine-year tenure.
Just last week Annie was pictured wearing her wedding ring again after a period of time without it.
She previously instructed lawyers to help her fight for half of Kyle’s £27million fortune after their relationship soured following the birth of his second child with Lauryn Goodman.
In October a source told us that there was still a chance they could work through their issues despite the litigation.
The move certainly took right back Kyle by surprise.
A source said: “Kyle was stunned when he got the papers.
“He’s spoken to Annie about them and they are discussing the next steps.
“This doesn’t necessarily mean they will divorce.
“This is as much Annie flexing her muscles as it is anything else.
“She wants Kyle to know she’s not messing about. But if this is a bluff, it may well back-fire.”
The couple separated at Christmas after the full-back was exposed for fathering a second child with Instagram influencer, Lauryn.
She revealed the truth in a text message to Annie – and the couple have been battling to save their relationship ever since.
They were childhood sweethearts and met in Sheffield as teenagers but only got married in November 2021 during an intimate ceremony at Mottram Hall in Cheshire.
The wedding took everyone by surprise – not least because of a slew of sex scandals involving the player after his £50million move to City from Spurs in 2017.
First, Ex on the Beach TV reality star Laura Brown said she and Kyle repeatedly romped in his Bentley.
Annie kicked him out of their sprawling Cheshire home but they got back together.
She gave him the boot again when he revealed Lauryn was having his baby.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Annie said: “What he has done to me and our children is obscene.
“I can’t begin to put it into words.
“In late March last year he was unfaithful with a reality TV star.
“I found out a month later and was broken by it.
“He begged me to take him back but by July he was at it again.
“Not even three months later and someone was pregnant. My youngest was one. Who does that?
“I don’t think I’ll ever be the same again because of what he’s done.
“I’ve tried to hate him but how can I hate the man my kids love so much?
“I knew it was always a possibility Kyle would do it again but getting someone pregnant was my worst nightmare.”
The couple miraculously stayed together against all the odds and Kyle proposed with a £250,000 ring.
They wed in secret in front of a handful of guests but less than a year later he cheated on her with Lauryn once again.
The Instagram influencer, 34, fell pregnant after they met in London whilst he was waiting for groin surgery ahead of the World Cup in Qatar in 2022.
She gave birth to a baby girl, Kinara, in July last year – as Kyle begged her not to reveal the truth to Annie.
He even considered quitting City for Bayern Munich in a desperate bid to avoid the looming scandal.
But on December 27, as he played for City in a 3-1 win against Everton at Goodison Park, Annie’s phone lit up with a message.
It read: “Hey it’s Lauryn. I just wanted to quickly tell you that Kyle is the father of our daughter.”
Annie, who was heavily pregnant at the time with the couple’s fourth son, announced their shock split two weeks later.
Kyle moved into a rented mansion close to their Cheshire home and in an exclusive interview with The Sun spoke of his shame.
He admitted: “What I’ve done is horrible and I take full responsibility.
“I made idiot choices and idiot decisions.”
Annie gave birth to their fourth son Rezon in April with Kyle at her bedside.
