Kyle Walker’s wife Annie Kilner files for divorce after scandal

Kyle WalkerAnnie Kilner’s wife has filed for divorce following her highly publicized relationship with Lauryn Goodman.

It’s been a tumultuous period for the Manchester City captain, who has been married to his teenage sweetheart Annie, 32, since 2022 after 12 years.relation of the ear. The couple share four children.

Kyle, 34, had a child with Lauryn during a break in his relationship with Annie in 2020, but it emerged in January last year that he also had a second child with Goodman in 2022 while he was with Kilner.

This led to Annie kicking him out of her £3.5m mansion Cheshire and a media frenzy around the star footballer.

It seems she’s finally had enough and is ready to call it quits with the defender for good.

“Kyle was shocked when he got the papers,” a source said The Sun.

The source added: “He’s spoken to Annie about them and they’re discussing next steps. This doesn’t necessarily mean they’re getting a divorce. He wants Kyle to know he’s not playing around. But if it’s a bluff, it might be that it is reduced’.

Annie discovered she was pregnant with the couple’s fourth child in January this year. At the time, a source said Metro.co.uk that the couple are no longer in a romantic relationship but “are very united in this for the sake of their children.”

Speaking to The Sun in January 2024, the former Tottenham Hotspur footballer apologized for his affairs: “What I have done is horrible and I take full responsibility for it.

“I made stupid choices and stupid decisions. I can’t begin to think or imagine what Annie is going through. I’ve tried to ask her, but there’s pain and hurt.

“The man who is meant to love, take care of himself and be there for her, he did this.

He added: “My actions have caused a lot of pain to a lot of people. I’m sorry because as a family this is not meant to happen.”

The divorce news follows Lauryn’s extensive list of requests for Kyle to go public in August of this year.

The listing included everything from a lavish £2.4million mansion in Sussex to a £33,000 air conditioning unit to cope with what she described as the “excruciating” summer heat.

He also requested a number of smaller items, including an iron, with the stipulation: “I have a steamer, but it leaks.”

The public learned of the wild details and huge sums of money involved in the high-profile case when Kyle and Lauryn went to court after Lauryn lodged a ‘financial remedies application’ to increase the sum of £110,000 to £177,000 a year for child support.

Her requests included £500 a month to maintain a hot tub, which she said was solely for the children’s use.

Other requests, according to The Sun, included: a gardener at £28 an hour because ‘The lawnmower is heavy’, £171.81 a month for two mobile phones, an iron (‘I have a steamer, but it filters ‘), £800 water filters, £2,000+ garden furniture, £6,250 wardrobes and £2,149 outdoor lighting.

The court heard that Kyle was ordered to buy Lauryn a £1.85million house within 60 miles of a Sussex town to ensure she was away from Annie and the his other children.

In addition, Kyle was ordered to provide £8,000 a month in child support.

Lauryn’s additional demands included a £33,000 air conditioning system due to the “unbearable” heat in the mansion during the summer.

He also claimed the yard was “unsafe” and ordered a £31,000 lawn for his one-year-old daughter Kinara, who he suggested would one day become a professional footballer.
