Annie Kilner, the wife of Manchester City defender Kyle Walker, is reportedly demanding £15 million in cash as she contemplates the future of their marriage.
The 31-year-old mother of four is seeking nearly half of Walker’s estimated £27 million fortune following revelations that he fathered two children with influencer Lauryn Goodman during their relationship.
Sources close to the situation suggest that Kilner has begun preliminary legal discussions regarding a potential divorce, which could grant her a substantial share of Walker’s wealth.
Kylie, a 34-year-old footballer who earns £150,000 per week, is currently facing scrutiny both on and off the pitch as tensions rise within their personal life.
Recent developments have intensified the couple’s struggles, particularly after Kilner’s sister, Sian, welcomed a baby following an affair with a married man.
This family drama has drawn parallels to Walker’s infidelity, as he had two children with Goodman while still in a relationship with Kilner.
A source told The Sun: “It’s a complicated situation. Kyle and Annie conflict over many issues.
She has clarified that she will only consider reconciliation if he agrees to give her half his wealth.” The insider added that Kilner is determined that none of her shares go to Goodman, emphasising her desire for independence and financial security during a divorce.
Negotiations reportedly occur between the couple’s legal representatives about a financial arrangement.
Walker reportedly supports Kilner’s economic security, wanting to ensure stability for her and their children regardless of the marriage’s future.
However, the emotional landscape is challenging, with Kilner contemplating divorce as she navigates this difficult period.
Sources indicate that Sian’s child’s birth has further complicated family dynamics, leading to heightened tensions between the two families.
In the past, Lauryn Goodman, 33, became pregnant while Walker and Kilner were temporarily separated in 2019, giving birth to their son, Kairo, in April 2020. After rekindling their relationship, Kilner and Walker married in 2021, only for Walker to reconnect with Goodman, who welcomed their second child, Kinara, in August 2023.
Kilner learned about this latest development through a text from Goodman last December, which sparked a significant emotional conversation between the two women.
At that time, Kilner was pregnant with her and Walker’s fourth child and felt devastated by the news. She announced their split two weeks later, and the couple welcomed their son, Rezon, in April. Despite the turmoil, friends say Kilner is weighing her options carefully and prioritising the well-being of their children.
An insider shared, “Annie insists to friends that they are not back together and are simply trying to figure things out. Her primary focus is on the kids and ensuring their protection.”
In a January interview, Walker expressed regret over his actions, stating, “I’m sorry I’ve had a second child with Lauryn and hurt my best friend.
It’s painful to acknowledge. I’ve hurt someone I truly believe is my soulmate.”
Kilner took their sons to the Euros in Germany this summer, but their body language in photos suggested a growing distance. Just days after England’s defeat to Spain, Walker was seen in court negotiating a financial settlement with Goodman, where a judge criticised her for treating him like “an open-ended chequebook.”
As Walker and Kilner navigate their complex relationship, the ongoing challenges highlight the impact of infidelity and family dynamics on their lives, leaving questions about the future of their marriage unresolved.
