BREAKING: Anne Kilner pregnant: Kyle Walker’s wife expecting couple’s fifth child after affair scandal

Annie Kilner, wife of former England star Kyle Walker, is expecting her fifth child with the footballer, it has been revealed.

It is reported that the 33 year old WAG, who already shares four sons with the 35 year old Burnley defender, is set to give birth in June after announcing her surprise pregnancy to loved ones over the festive period.

This baby news indicates that the couple have overcome their well-publicised marital issues, having previously been on the verge of divorce due to Walker’s affairs with Lauryn Goodman.

Annie and Kyle have informed their sons – Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, Reign, five, and Rezon, one – that they will welcome a new sibling this summer, and that her name will also start with an ‘R’, although a final decision has not yet been made.

The Mirror have contacted Kyle and Annie’s reps for comment.

A source told the Daily Mail that Annie was keen to have another child to ‘complete’ their family and strengthen their marriage.

The insider added: “Kyle returned from Italy last year and since then Annie made it clear to him that she wanted her boys to have another baby sibling. She believes that a baby will help put all their troubles behind them.”

“Their family and close friends were shocked when they heard because there are still some issues between them. It’s a bit risky because sometimes, a new baby can add more pressure to a marriage. But everybody is very happy for them and doing all they can to support Annie.”

The source continued: “Annie and Kyle’s four boys are very excited about having a new sibling and have been talking about it a lot.”

Childhood sweethearts Kyle and Annie tied the knot in 2021, but their relationship came under severe strain in January 2024 when it emerged he had fathered Lauryn’s daughter Kinara.

The influencer controversially contacted Annie on Boxing Day 2023 to disclose she was expecting her second child with her husband, who had previously fathered her first son Kairo, five, during a brief separation from Annie.

Kyle’s infidelity led to the 96-cap defender being thrown out of the family home he shared with Annie, who subsequently filed for divorce as their marriage crumbled.

The insider revealed: “Annie is enjoying being pregnant this time around because the last time she was pregnant it was with Rezon and that’s when news of Kyle’s secret love child with Lauryn came out, which put her under a lot of stress.”

“Things could not be more different for her this time around. Annie and Kyle are in a much better place, they’ve put in a lot of effort into rebuilding their marriage and trust and she believes that a new baby is a fresh start for all of them.”

Walker escaped to Italy last year to spend the second half of the season with AC Milan in an attempt to distance himself from the scandal involving himself and Lauryn.

He joined Serie A giants AC Milan but his stint with the seven-time Champions League winners failed to secure a permanent transfer, resulting in Kyle returning to the UK to join Premier League newcomers Burnley.

However, playing in the North-West allowed Kyle to return to his luxurious Cheshire home with Annie and their four boys, reigniting their relationship.

It remains unclear whether Lauryn, who has two children with the ex-Manchester City and AC Milan player, is aware of Annie’s pregnancy, but the two WAGs have been embroiled in a bitter feud following revelations of Walker’s secret love child with the influencer.

Lauryn has been accused of fuelling her rift with both Annie and Kyle on social media to keep the matter in the public spotlight and at one stage, even suggested that she was relocating to Italy to be nearer to the footballer for the sake of the two children they share.

The source disclosed: “Annie and her close friends and family are bracing themselves for how Lauryn might respond to this. But given how she’s conducted herself in the past, we fear that she’s not going to like it and it could get messy.”

In 2024 Lauryn lost her court battle with Kyle over how much money she should receive for their children.

Judge Edward Hess condemned her for ‘insatiable greed’ claiming she attempted to use the defender, who earns around £160,000 per week, as an ‘open ended cheque book’ and ‘repeatedly threatened him in order to get what she wanted’.

Her demands included a £31,000 Astro Turf, £30,000 for air conditioning, a £70,000 car allowance every three years, plus a car for the nanny and £150,000 annual child maintenance.

In his ruling the judge also slammed Lauryn for her Boxing Day message to Annie declaring: “This was intended to, and the judge did not accept the mother’s justification that this text message was sent in an effort to foster a positive relationship between the two women in the father’s life, stating, ‘I do not accept the mother’s explanation that this text message was sent in an attempt to create a good working relationship between the two women in the father’s life.”
