Annie Kilner has announced her separation from footballer husband Kyle Walker after two years of marriage.
The brunette exchanged vows with Manchester City and England right-back Walker in 2022 following a 12-year relationship, during which they welcomed three children.
But in an Instagram post on Wednesday evening, Kilner confirmed her separation from the footballer.
She wrote: ‘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 my 3 young children be respected during this difficult time.’

Walker secretly married childhood sweetheart Kilner in 2022. They share children Riaan, Roman and Reign.
Last month it was claimed the couple had been having arguments about his involvement with Lauryn Goodman after embarking on a brief romance with the TV personality during a previous separation in 2019.
Goodman now shares son son Kairo, three, from her relationship with the footballer – and the two women have had a long-running feud.
A source said: ‘Kyle and Annie have been arguing. She said she’d had enough because of all the ongoing stuff with Lauryn.
‘There was another legal meeting involving her and Kyle this week. It’s put a real strain on them.
‘Annie has done nothing wrong apart from trust him. She wants to keep things together.’
But Walker set the record straight saying he is still with Annie after legal meetings with Goodman that reportedly put a strain on their relationship.
He told The Sun outside the couple’s Cheshire mansion: ‘We haven’t split. I’m here at my family home, aren’t I?’
It comes after earlier this year Kyle reportedly purchased his ex Lauryn and her children ‘a £2.5million seaside mansion, and has already spent £40,000 on curtains alone’.
The influencer, 32, fell pregnant with son Kairo, three, while involved in a short relationship with the footballer.
She welcomed a second child, a baby girl, in August. Lauryn is yet to publicly name the father of her newborn, but he is also reportedly a footballer.
Lauryn previously accused Annie of treating her boy like an ‘outcast’ and acting like he’s a ‘dirty secret’ after she commented on Kyle’s ‘three sons’ instead of four.
Lauryn has not chosen a name for her baby girl yet, with the source adding that she would like something beginning with the letter ‘K’, just like the newborn’s older brother Kairo.
The internet personality has asked her social media followers for their thoughts on girls’ names that begin with ‘K’.
It took a year for Lauryn to publicly reveal the name of her son but she had a necklace made of his initials ‘KW’ which match his father’s.
Lauryn revealed she was expecting her second child in March this year.
Sharing a photo of herself and son Kairo on Instagram, Lauryn’s baby bump could be seen as she posed in a bikini during a beach break.
‘FYI…It’s a BABY! Family completed 2023. Fertility Bracelet still going strong- find the mother and baby collection with @lovecrystalhealinglife,’ she captioned the sweet post.
Lauryn fell pregnant with Kairo while involved in a short relationship with sportsman Kyle while he was on a temporary split from his wife Annie.
Lauryn recently slammed Annie after she allegedly made a ‘vindictive dig’ at her son.
The two women are no stranger to being at loggerheads over Kyle fathering Lauryn’s child, with WAG Annie herself sharing three sons with the sportsman.
Lauryn accused Annie of treating her boy like an ‘outcast’ and acting like he was a ‘dirty secret’ after Annie shared an Instagram post commenting on Kyle’s ‘three sons’ instead of four.
The spat kicked off following Manchester City’s recent treble victory, with Lauryn sharing a snap of Kairo wearing his father’s team’s kit.
She wrote on Instagram: ‘2023 what a special year, history made. I understand we have skipped a few chapters here…@kairowalker always supporting.’
However, Annie seemingly hit back at Lauryn’s post with a snap of her own, which showed her sons Riaan, Roman and Reign with their dad on the pitch, captioning the snap: ‘3 is the magic number.’
She added: ‘Winning the champions league with Your daddy. All these memories you get to have with your daddy.
‘Nothing and no one will ever take that from you. We’ve got you 3.’
Furious at the post, Lauryn then lashed out at Annie, branding her a ‘wicked stepmother’ who is trying to ‘eradicate’ her son’s ‘existence’.
The beauty said Annie was well aware Lauryn was pregnant when she rekindled her relationship with Kyle and shouldn’t have got back with him if she couldn’t ‘handle’ the fact he was to have another child.
Lauryn accused Annie of being ‘venomous’ to her child and taking her grievances over the situation out on the tot, stating that her and Kyle’s son is ‘not a dirty secret’ that can be swept under the carpet.
The sister of TV personality Chloe Goodman told the publication that she also posted a picture of her son’s certificate following Annie’s post as she was ‘so sick’ of Kairo being ‘erased’ as Kyle’s son.
She continued to say that Annie’s latest dig was the ‘final straw’ which was ‘so nasty’, insisting the England player will always be Kairo’s daddy ‘whether she likes it or not.’
