Annie Kilner Shows Off Huge Diamond Ring Amid Relationship Struggles with Kyle Walker

Annie Kilner flashed a gorgeous diamond ring on her engagement finger during her Demure Diamonds launch party at OCASA in Manchester on Wednesday – but it was not her engagement ring. 

The wife of footballer Kyle Walker, 33, cut an effortlessly chic figure in a skin-tight black bandeau top and black barrel jeans. 

She added inches to her height with a pair of white pointed heels as she modelled the sparkly diamond ring from her luxury jewellery line. 

During the event, the beauty also modelled a dainty diamond bracelet, a silver diamond necklace, sparkly hoop earrings, and a silver Cartier watch. 

Taylor Ward, 27, also attended the launch party to show her support for her pal during her new career venture.

The blonde beauty put on a leggy display in a white mini dress as she stepped out for the first time since announcing she was pregnant with her second child. 

The wife of footballer Riyad Mahrez teamed a beige double-breasted blazer with her ensemble as she posed for the cameras. 

To complete her look, Taylor added inches to her height with a pair of white slingback heels and toted her essentials in a black Hermès handbag, which retails from £20,000. 

Annie co-owns Demure Diamonds with her pal, Sophie Hutchings, and the high-end jewellery firm has showrooms in the UK and Dubai. 

Earlier this year, Annie’s fellow WAGS, including Coleen Rooney, rallied around her as she attended a Julie Perry Events International Women’s Day celebration.

The event came days after footballer Kyle, 34, was pictured on a night out with two women, just after he and Annie enjoyed a family day out with their children in Milan.

And amid the drama, Annie put on a brave face as she arrived at the Lowry Hotel for the event, which celebrated Manchester’s most inspiring and entrepreneurial women.

It was previously claimed Coleen was ‘supporting’ Annie amid her romance woes with Kyle.

Annie was also said to have hired a lawyer who helped Coleen during her Wagatha Christie High Court battle with Rebekah Vardy.

It comes after it was revealed earlier this month that Annie and Kyle’s relationship is ‘as bad as it’s ever been’, as the England international ponders his next move following an unsuccessful spell at AC Milan.

The full-back is back in the UK and according to pals is ‘barely speaking’ with Annie, who is still unable to forgive him and move on from the footballer’s affairs with Lauryn Goodman, 34, the mother of two of his six children.

Kyle hoped his stint in Italy with the seven-time Champions League winners would trigger a fresh start for himself and Annie.

Being away from the ‘noise’ of his sex scandal was a major reason behind his hasty departure from Manchester City in January.

But the Rossoneri have declined the opportunity to sign Kyle for an extra year, meaning he will now have to find another club with City boss Pep Guardiola indicating the defender has no future at the Etihad, despite having one year left on his contract.

And insiders have told MailOnline his inner circle view his stint in Milan as a ‘wasted opportunity’, not only for his football career but getting his marriage back on track with Annie.

A friend said: ‘Kyle really enjoyed his time with Milan, especially off the pitch.

‘Having played under Guardiola for so long, which is exhausting having to meet his lofty standards, he felt the shackles were off when he joined Milan and made the most of his new lifestyle, perhaps eating and drinking what he wouldn’t ordinarily consume, as well as socialising more.

‘That impacted him on the pitch which is why he didn’t perform to the levels he’s become accustomed to over the years.

‘That disappointed his parents who flew over to watch him for the last game of the season and he didn’t even make the bench.

‘His family see it as a wasted opportunity as now he’s back to square one again.’
