Walker, who celebrated a Champions League victory with Manchester City in 2023, found himself at the center of a media storm earlier this year when it was revealed he had fathered a second child with reality TV star Lauryn Goodman, while still married to Kilner. The news of his infidelity came as a shock to fans and the public alike, as the defender had always presented a clean-cut image.

Kilner, who has been married to Walker since 2021, has expressed her deep pain and disappointment over the situation. In a heartfelt statement, she described the betrayal as "obscene" and revealed that she had tried to forgive Walker multiple times but was unable to do so.

"I tried to hate him, but how can I hate the man my children love so much?" Kilner asked.

The couple has four children together, and Kilner has been seeking financial support from Walker to ensure their future. According to reports, she is seeking half of Walker's estimated £27 million fortune.

A source close to the couple told The Sun that Walker was surprised by the divorce filing but is willing to work things out with Kilner. "This doesn't necessarily mean they are going to get divorced. This is Annie showing her power," the source said. "She wants Kyle to know she's not playing games, but if this is a bluff, it could backfire."

The breakdown of Walker's marriage is a stark reminder of the pressures faced by professional athletes, and serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of family and loyalty.
