Kyle Walker and Annie Kilner have welcomed their fourth child into the world together, just months on from the WAG announcing the end of her marriage to the Manchester City footballer

Kyle Walker’s wife Annie Kilner has welcomed her fourth child into the world.

The mum-of-three, 31, announced she was “taking some away from her marriage” earlier this year, with the England footballer issuing a grovelling apology to her online on Friday night. But amid the news of the estranged couple’s split, it was then reported that Annie, who is mum to three of Kyle’s four children, was pregnant.

Annie reportedly gave birth to her youngest earlier this week and is said to be “doing well” since becoming a mum-of-four. A source claims Kyle is “Kyle is doing everything he can to support Annie” and the on-off couple are “focusing on the baby” for now amid their marriage woes.

Childhood sweethearts Kyle and Annie tied the knot in December 2021 and already have three young sons together, Riaan, Roman and Reign. In addition to sharing four children with Annie, Manchester City ace Kyle is also father to Instagram influencer Lauryn Goodman’s two children following an extra-martial affair.

Speaking to The Sun on Tuesday, Annie and Kyle’s friends said: “Annie gave birth earlier this week and is doing well. Mum and baby are both happy and healthy. Kyle couldn’t be happier and is so proud of Annie. It has not been an easy few months for them but Kyle is doing everything he can to support Annie. They are focusing on the baby now and are looking forward to introducing them to their three boys. It is a very special time and they are relishing every second.”

Speaking to the Daily Mail about Annie’s pregnancy earlier this year, the source continued: “They are doing their very best to put [on] a united front [through] their break up and what comes next.” They added that the future is uncertain for the on-off couple but both are “committed fully to their children”. He moved out of their family home in Prestbury, Cheshire, where Annie and their three children are now living.

However, they have since briefly reunited in a car park when she dropped Roman off for the right-wing hours before he walked the red carpet at a glitzy fashion event with his dad. It’s believed that the former couple spoke briefly as Annie handed Kyle a luxury suitcase before they parted ways again.

Kyle, 33, called his wife Annie “an amazing woman” on in January, two days after the soon-to-be mum-of-four announced that she was taking “some time away” from their marriage. The Manchester City player also expressed regret for “all the upset” he has caused the mother of three of his children in the online statement shared on his Instagram page.

Annie was reportedly seeking advice from Coleen Rooney following the breakdown of her marriage. She’s believed to have hired one of the lawyers involved in Coleen’s successful Wagatha Christie court case.

The WAG announced her split from Kyle on Wednesday 10th January via an online statement, telling her Instagram followers: “I am posting this in response to growing recent media enquiries about my marriage to Kyle and in an effort to protect my family against the intensity of the media spotlight.

“Sadly, after many years of marriage and three wonderful children together; I have decided to take some time away from Kyle. 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.”

Kyle, who met Annie as a teenager in their hometown of Sheffield, publicly responded to her statement on his own Instagram page the following Friday. “Annie is an amazing woman and I can only apologise for the upset I’ve caused her,” the sports star began.

He went on to tell his followers: “She’s been part of my life for so long and that will never change for the sake of our children. I would ask for privacy for all of our family, and especially our young children, whilst we work through these difficult times.” Their relationship has been under scrutiny over recent years due to his scandals, with Kyle most recently allegedly caught on camera kissing another woman last year.

The couple have also had to deal with Lauryn Goodman, an Instagram star, giving birth to Kyle’s three-year-old son Kairo in April 2020. Annie has always seemed to forgive Kyle and stuck by him through thick and thin but has seemingly now had enough and told everyone they’re done.

Model Lauryn became a mother for a second time in August when she welcomed a baby girl into the world, but she’s kept the identity of the dad and her second child’s name under wraps, only hinting that her baby’s initials are K.W. Annie reportedly had a chat with Kyle on Boxing Day about rumours he’s the father, leading to their split.

In December, Kyle denied he had split from Annie as reports suggested his legal battle with Lauryn, the mother of his son, had put a strain on their marriage. “We haven’t split. I’m here at my family home, aren’t I?” said Kyle outside his Cheshire mansion in December, responding to The Sun’s questions about rumours that he and Annie had ended their relationship.
