Kyle Walker's wife Annie Kilner files for divorce amid Lauryn Goodman drama
Annie Kilner has reportedly filed for divorce from her footballer husband Kyle Walker. According to The Sun, Annie, 31, served her childhood sweetheart Kyle with divorce papers and has begun legal proceedings to end their marriage.
Sources reportedly told the publication that the couple are no longer on speaking terms, with Kyle, 34, also consulting lawyers. " Kyle was stunned when he got the papers. He's spoken to Annie about them and they are discussing the next steps," they said. "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."
OK! has reached out to Annie Kilner's and Kyle Walker's representatives for comment. Annie is reportedly preparing to fight for half of Kyle's £27 million fortune as their relationship "turns ugly" after two years of marriage. The Sun reports that papers were served weeks ago as tensions rose over Kyle's love child scandal with Celebs Go Dating star Lauryn Goodman.
The couple, who have been together for 12 years and share sons Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, Reign, five, and five-month-old Rezon, separated at Christmas after Lauryn Goodman revealed that Kyle had fathered her second child. Annie and Kyle reconciled and had been fighting to save their relationship ever since.
Lauryn hit the headlines earlier this year following a bitter court battle with Kyle to meet the financial demands of their children - Kairo, born in 2020, and Kinara, born last year. The footballer's ex-mistress was accused of suing him as an "open-ended cheque book" after giving birth to their second child and was often "difficult, unreasonable and demanding".

Lauryn's requests from Kyle included a £33,000 lump sum for air conditioning installation in her Sussex home, a new £70,000 car every four years, and a £31,200 astroturf football playing area in her garden, which Lauryn claimed was necessary as their one year old daughter showed potential to be a future Lioness. The judge dismissed most of Lauryn's demands and said: "I remind myself that Kinara has just turned one year old and is not yet walking...the mother surprisingly justified her demand for astroturf by saying that Kinara, by kicking a ball with her left foot from a crawling position, has shown a talent which may suggest a future career as a professional footballer qualified to become a 'Lioness'."
