Kyle Walker's wife files for divorce after Man City star's two affairs - and two kids - with Lauryn Goodman

Kyle Walker’s wife, Annie Kilner, has filed for divorce.

After years of emotional turmoil, Kilner, who has been with Walker since childhood, has now consulted divorce lawyers following another scandal involving the Manchester City footballer.

It comes after Kilner was left feeling angry and betrayed upon learning that Walker had fathered two children with Lauryn Goodman, despite the couple previously stating they were focused on their own family.

Although Kilner had forgiven Walker after his first affair, she struggled to maintain their relationship when he cheated again with Goodman. The news that Goodman had given birth to her husband’s second child was a major blow to Kilner, who received a heartbreaking text on December 27, while she was pregnant with her fourth child with Walker.

In the message, Goodman wrote: “Hey it's Lauryn. I just wanted to quickly tell you that Kyle is the father of our daughter.” Soon after Goodman confirmed that Walker was the father of Kinara, now one year old, Kilner and Walker briefly separated. Goodman had become pregnant with her daughter following another encounter with Walker while he was in London for surgery.

Sources now suggest that the couple’s relationship is over for good, with Kilner allegedly preparing to fight for half of Walker’s £27m fortune. The couple, who met as teenagers, are reportedly no longer on speaking terms, and Walker has also hired his own legal team.

According to reports, Walker was served with divorce papers by Kilner ten days ago, and although they are still living in the same house, he has been sleeping separately for several days.

A source told MailOnline: “She is divorcing Kyle because she just can't forgive him for what he's done to her. She can't get over it. She has tried. Kyle seems to have accepted it's over. He's been happier in the last week or so. Like the weight of the world's been lifted from his shoulders.”
