Their relationship has been plagued with drama over the last few years after he fathered a love child with reality star Lauryn Goodman – and now Annie Kilner and Kyle Walker have reportedly called it quits for good.
Annie, 30 – who had been with footballer Kyle for more than a decade – wrote on Instagram, “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.”
The news comes three years after the England player, 33 – who was already dad to sons Riaan, Roman and Reign with Annie, 30 – fathered a baby boy named Kairo with Lauryn, who he’d had a brief fling with while on break in his relationship with Annie.
Lauryn, 32, then gave birth to a second child in August last year, after exclusively revealing to Closer she was expecting a baby girl.
And fans have been speculating that her new daughter’s father may also be Kyle, as Lauryn has been “liking” comments on her Instagram that suggest the rumours are true. And, while she hasn’t revealed her baby’s full name, she has added “mummy to Kairo Walker and KW” in her Instagram bio – with the matching initials prompting reports that she, too, could be Kyle’s child.
While Kyle has refused to comment on the situation, Annie and Lauryn have had multiple public spats over the years. Annie seemed to cryptically brand Lauryn a “heartless h**” and has repeatedly referred to Kyle as having three sons rather than four. Meanwhile, Lauryn has called Annie “a wicked stepmother” for “photoshopping” her son from Kyle’s life and “treating him like an outcast”.
