Annie Kilner and Kyle Walker have welcomed their fifth child together, with the former model taking to social media to share an a message with their followers
Annie Kilner and Kyle Walker have welcomed their fifth child together. The former model and Burnley FC star confirmed their happy news with a social media post asking fans to respect their privacy as the news leaked before their official announcement.
“Out precious baby girl is here safe. Speechless with the amount of love we all feel and the joy she’s already brought to our family.
“Would have liked to enjoy our private family time together for a bit longer, but we know news travels fast,” she continued in an Instagram story post.
“Hoping now we have announced our special news, everyone respects our request for privacy as we enjoy these special moments. Thank you for everyone who has supported us with well wishes for the pregnancy and birth.”
Ahead of their announcement to the public, a source told The Sun that the pair had welcomed their child: ““Kyle and Annie are over the over the moon to have welcomed a little girl into the family home. Kyle didn’t leave Annie’s side, they are just on cloud nine ready to begin this new chapter.” They added that the couple now feels their family is “whole”.
It was previously claimed that Annie and Kyle, who met as teenagers in Sheffield, told their families about their pregnancy over the Christmas period. As well as their new born, Annie and Kyle are parents to Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, Reign, five, and Rezon, one.
Kyle is now father to seven children in total as he also has two children, a son and a daughter, with influencer Lauryn Goodman.
Former model Annie revealed in February that she and Kyle were expecting a girl – their first daughter. In a defiant social media post, she penned: “We’re delighted to be expecting our baby girl. I won’t be entertaining any speculation or drama around such a personal, private and happy moment for me and my family!”

And while the pregnancy itself was happy news for the couple, it added an extra touch of positivity, bringing Annie and Kyle closer than ever. A source previously told The Sun : “Kyle and Annie are in such a good place, and this baby has brought them even closer together. This baby is already bringing them so much joy, not only as a couple but as a family. Their boys are thrilled.
“Annie is a devoted mum, and she is so excited to be bringing another child into the world. For her and Kyle, this baby feels very much like it was meant to be. They’ve never been closer, and they are so excited for their family to grow.” And it comes at an even better time after Kyle announced his retirement from international football this year.
He said: “Playing for England has always been the greatest honour of my career. Every time I pulled on the shirt, it meant a huge amount to me and my family. After a lot of thought, this feels like the right moment to step away and allow the next generation of players to come through.”
Speaking to the Mirror after the news, Annie said: “Kyle has always taken so much pride in playing for England and it has meant the world to him. As a family we have shared so many special moments watching him represent his country, and our four boys have grown up seeing how much the England shirt means to their dad.
“International football asks a lot of players and their families, but we could not be prouder of everything he has achieved and the career he has had with England.”
Last year, it was reported that Annie was looking to divorce Kyle following infidelities but the Mirror later revealed that this wasn’t the case. Cheshire sources close to the couple revealed that any speculation that Annie was staying with Kyle for his finances are “nonsense.”
Reports claimed that Annie was pausing their ongoing matters given the discussions surrounding Kyle moving to Saudi, where he could make in excess of £400,000 per week. However, Kyle signed for Burnley – on the opposite side of the world to where he was reportedly eyeing up a deal.
