Annie Kilner cut a sombre figure as she stepped out in her first sighting since it was revealed Lauryn Goodman is reportedly set to move to Italy next week.
The wife of Kyle Walker was spotted attending Tanya Bardsley’s Mental Mummies charity luncheon at Mottram Hall in Cheshire on Friday, just hours after the news.
On Wednesday, it was claimed that Lauryn is set to move to Italy next week in order to be closer to former flame Kyle, who is currently abroad playing for AC Milan.
Amid reports that Annie’s relationship with Kyle, 34, is so strained that they are ‘barely talking’, the WAG broke her cover as she stepped out for the charity event.
For the occasion, Annie, 33, cut a trendy figure in washed-out blue jeans and a cropped denim jacket, which she styled with a black shoulder bag.
She added a few extra inches to her frame in a pair of black pointed heels and accessorised her ensemble with silver hoop earrings.

Annie’s relationship with footballer Kyle is said to have become so strained that they are ‘barely talking’ and are in ‘separate rooms’.
Her outing came just hours after it was reported that Lauryn is set to move to Italy next week in order to be closer to Kyle.
Tensions were said to have risen between the pair following the rumours that Kyle’s ex-mistress Lauryn could move to Italy too, with her and Kyle’s two children – son Kairo, four, and daughter Kinara, 12 months.
Now it seems Lauryn has followed through, with a source telling The Sun: ‘Lauryn wants to be as accommodating as she can. She always wants to do the best for her children.
‘Lauryn was happy when Kyle signed for Italy as Saudi would’ve been a bit too far and would feel more final, but Italy was a stone’s throw away.
‘It felt a lot closer than her commute to Cheshire with how busy the roads can be… Lauryn is excited for new adventures with her children.’
It marks a U-turn from Lauryn’s past remarks, who last week claimed she ‘wished’ to have the option to relocate abroad after being embroiled in an affair and ‘intrusive’ court case with the footballer.

The family court showdown saw her slammed for ‘treating the footballer as an open-ended check book’ by the judge as she insisted ‘I’ll never give up on my kids’.
In an interview with The Mirror on Saturday, Lauryn addressed her plans, admitting ‘Kyle could be on Mars’ for all she cares.
She explained: ‘For the last year I wished to have the option to move abroad because, with all of the drama, I’d like a life reset, but I’m not sure how that looks for us at the minute or what that entails.
‘It makes no difference to me where [Kyle] is, he could be on Mars right now for all I care.’
MailOnline contacted Lauryn’s representatives for comment.
Lauryn’s supposed move could cause more issues between Annie and Kyle – who have four children of their own – sons Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, Reign, five, and nine-month-old baby Rezon.
The couple were said to be planning to ‘put things behind them’ after their marriage was nearly destroyed last year when Kyle was revealed to be the father of both of Lauryn’s children.
A source told MailOnline: ‘This is a good opportunity to put things behind them and make a go of it as a family unit. It will be a challenge in a new country, but they are willing to give it a go.’

Last year, Annie filed for divorce and kicking the footballer out of the family home in Cheshire, after she discovered he had secretly fathered a second child with Lauryn.
An insider said: ‘The couple are committed to keeping their family as united as possible and protecting their four boys from any fallout.
‘They enjoyed Christmas together, as a family, and continue to work on their own relationship but as yet no decisions have been made.’
‘They would love time and peace away from the spotlight and rumours to be able to continue working on things behind the scenes,’ they added.
Now, friends of the couple have said that their marriage is ‘as bad as it’s ever been’ after the footballer failed to discuss his AC Milan move with Annie.
The pair allegedly ‘couldn’t bring themselves to say goodbye to one another’ before the footballer jetted off to Milan.
Annie had initially been set to arrive in Italy last month with their sons, before being delayed first by the stormy weather and then by the fresh row.
The WAG eventually relented and flew out from Manchester City on a private jet with her children to meet Kyle for his AC Milan debut.

While hopes were rising for a fresh start in Milan as a family, friends have said all is not what it seems as Annie is still contemplating joining him.
A friend reportedly told The Sun: ‘That’s how strained things are at the moment. It’s as bad as it’s ever been.
‘He didn’t even sit her down and discuss moving to Italy. He just said “I’m going, it’s up to you if you come with me”.
‘They’re not in a great place and are barely talking. It’s still unclear if Annie will actually join him permanently in Italy.
‘Everything is up in the air but, then again, it’s been like this ever since the scandal was exposed.’
