After the birth of their fourth child, Kyle Walker and his estranged wife Annie Kilner are said to be forgetting the footballer’s past mistakes and focusing on their family. The couple had their fourth son together in April.
Kyle, 33, and Annie, 30, split in late 2023 after it was revealed that Kyle had fathered a second child with influential Lauryn Goodman. He lived in a rental property near the family home he shared with Annie and their sons Roman, 11, Riaan, 7, and Reign, 5.
However, following the birth of their fourth child, the couple now appear ready to put the past behind them. It is claimed that they are “focusing on their children” and that Kyle is “on hand to support Annie”.
A source close to the couple told the Mirror: “Kyle and Annie are overjoyed and everything in the past is not important at the moment. They concentrate on their four children because they take priority over everything else.
“Yes, they have had hurdles and Kyle has admitted he was wrong, but they just want their children to come first. He is recovering from injury and has captained the England national team and Manchester City and at the same time he was on hand to support Annie after they welcomed the little one. For both of them, the family and focusing on Kyle’s career is the only thing that matters.”
OK! has contacted representatives for Kyle and Annie.
The footballer was by Annie’s side as she gave birth to the couple’s fourth son, whose name has yet to be revealed. News of their baby’s birth was announced earlier this week, with sources claiming the couple “couldn’t be happier.”
A friend said of Kyle and Annie’s new arrival: “The whole family is so happy about the baby. It is a relief and a source of joy for everyone. From now on they want to get on with their lives without the drama.”
“The baby arrived over the weekend and we believe Kyle was with Annie in the hospital to support her, as was always planned. Kyle has been a very involved and very good father throughout everything that has happened,” they continued to the Daily Mail.
The new arrival is Kyle’s sixth child. He already had three-year-old son Kairo after having an affair with Lauryn in 2019 while splitting from Annie. And earlier this year, Lauryn revealed that he is also the father of her second child – a daughter due in August 2023 – and that she became pregnant while he was married to Annie.
Kyle later confirmed that he had had a second child with Lauryn and publicly apologised to Annie. He told The Sun: “What I did is awful and I take full responsibility. I made idiotic decisions.”
He added: “I can’t imagine what Annie is going through. I’ve tried to ask her, but it hurts and it hurts her. The man who was supposed to love her, care for her and be there for her did this.”
