Kyle Walker's wife Annie Kilner announces split from Manchester City ace
Kyle Walker's wife Annie Kilner has announced she is taking "some time away" from the Manchester City footballer.
Annie and the England ace tied the knot in December 2021 and share three young children together, Riaan, Roman and Reign. Their relationship has been the subject of rumours and speculation over recent years, with the sports star being filmed allegedly flashed and kissing another woman last year.
The £160,000-a-week defender has been accused of being unfaithful to his wife multiple times, with Instagram influencer Lauryn Goodman, 32, maintaining he is the father of her three-year-old son Kairo.
Despite her husband being involved in sex scandals, Annie has always seemingly stood by her man - until now. Announcing the end of her marriage on social media on Wednesday, the mum-of-three revealed Kyle was no longer living at the family's sprawling £2.5million property in Cheshire.

Annie, who first met Kyle in their hometown of Sheffield when she was 15 and he 17, concluded her online statement with: "I do not wish to comment on the position any further. For now, I ask that the privacy of myself and our three young children is respected during this difficult time."
Just last month, Kyle denied he had split from Annie as reports suggested his legal battle with Lauryn, the mother of his three-year-old son, had put a strain on their marriage. Kyle and Lauryn conceived son Kario, three, during a period of time during which the footballer was on a break from his wife.
"We haven't split. I'm here at my family home, aren't I?" Kyle said outside his family's Cheshire mansion in December, after being quizzed by The Sun about reports he and Annie had called time on their romance and gone their separate ways amid his legal battle with Lauryn.
A source had said at the time: "'Kyle and Annie have been arguing. She said she'd had enough because of all the ongoing stuff with Lauryn. There was another legal meeting involving her and Kyle this week. It's put a real strain on them. Annie has done nothing wrong apart from trust him. She wants to keep things together."
Lauryn previously accused Annie of treating her son Kairo, three, like an "outcast" and acting like he's a "dirty secret to be swept under the carpet" after she commented on her husband's "three sons" instead of four.
Kyle is yet to comment on his wife's announcement, with his last Instagram post shared a week ago. The dad-of-four was seemingly looking ahead to a positive and bright 2024 as he shared a video montage of football highlights with 4.6million followers. "2023 an incredible year we all could only of dreamt of," Kyle captioned the post on New Year's Eve. "I wish everyone a very happy new year and all the success for 2024."
