Annie Kilner, wife of England and Manchester City star Kyle Walker, has reportedly filed for divorce amidst claims of his affair with influencer Lauryn Goodman. The 31-year-old Kilner, who married Walker in 2021, is said to have initiated legal proceedings to end their marriage. Walker, 33, and Kilner have four children together, while Walker secretly fathered two children with Goodman. Reports suggest Kilner is seeking half of Walker’s £27 million fortune.
According to a source quoted by The Sun, Walker was taken aback upon receiving the divorce papers and is currently in discussions with Kilner about their next steps. MailOnline reported that despite receiving the papers, Walker has moved back in with Kilner but they are sleeping separately. Sources have indicated that their marriage has been strained, with minimal communication between them.
The couple, who first met when Walker was 18 and playing for Sheffield United, share four children aged between 11 and 5 months. Additionally, Walker has two children with Goodman, aged four and 13 months. Earlier this year, Walker publicly apologised to Kilner for his actions, expressing remorse for the hurt he caused and acknowledging his mistakes. The Independent has reached out to representatives of both Walker and Kilner for comment on the situation.
Walker’s reported affair with Goodman has evidently caused significant strain in his marriage to Kilner. The ongoing developments in this high-profile relationship continue to attract attention as the couple navigates through this challenging period. Stay tuned for further updates on this story.
