In recent developments, Annie Kilner, England footballer Kyle Walker wife, has reportedly served him with divorce papers, potentially ending their marriage. After consulting legal advisors, the 31-year-old took this step and is preparing to seek half of Walker’s £27 million fortune as their relationship has taken a difficult turn.
Strained Communication and Legal Tensions
According to reports, the couple, who are no longer on speaking terms, initiated this process several weeks ago. Tensions had been mounting due to a recent scandal involving Walker fathering a child with former partner Lauryn Goodman. Walker, 34, who plays for Premier League champions Manchester City, was allegedly taken aback by the arrival of the legal papers.
Rocky relationship history
Walker and Kilner’s relationship has faced numerous challenges. They initially separated last Christmas following revelations that Walker fathered a second child with Instagram influencer Lauryn. Goodman reportedly broke the news to Kilner through a message, adding tension between the couple.

Marriage Amidst Public Scandal
Their relationship began in their teenage years in Sheffield. In November 2021, they married in a private ceremony at Mottram Hall in Cheshire. However, the wedding was clouded by earlier controversies surrounding Walker. In 2017, after his £50 million transfer to Manchester City from Tottenham Hotspur, Walker faced allegations of infidelity with TV reality star Laura Brown, which led Kilner to temporarily end their relationship.
Despite efforts to reconcile, further complications arose as Walker’s decisions continued to create challenges for the couple. Walker’s alleged infidelities and financial conflicts involving Goodman, including child support disputes and housing expenses, have put further strain on their relationship.
Throughout their struggles, the couple managed to stay together briefly and even celebrated moments publicly. However, recent events have cast doubt over their future. The legal proceedings could involve Kilner’s fight for a significant portion of Walker’s assets, as she seeks to secure her family’s future amidst the separation.
