Despite presenting a united front during the Euros this summer, Kyle Walker and his wife Annie Kilner have been grappling with significant turmoil behind the scenes. The footballer, embroiled in yet another infidelity scandal, had been living apart from his family in a posh apartment near their Cheshire residence. However, it seems Kyle, 34, has now returned to the luxurious home he shares with Annie, 32, and their four children: Roman, 11, Riaan, 7, Reign, 5, and Rezon, 5 months.
In the middle of the ongoing tensions with Kyle’s ex, Lauryn Goodman, insiders reveal that Annie feels a drastic change might be necessary to heal their strained relationship. Having endured the revelation of Kyle fathering two children with Lauryn, Annie now believes that relocating might be the best way to move forward.
A source shared with Heat, “Kyle and Annie have kept their relationship status under wraps, but over the weekend, Kyle openly showed he was back home, posting videos of his haircut in the kitchen and posing with a new car charger.”
The source continued, “Annie was initially hesitant, but she agreed that if they are to salvage their relationship, Kyle needs to return home to assess the situation. She plans to evaluate their future from there. Kyle is overjoyed to be back, though he understands he has significant amends to make.”
Kyle’s return follows the public scrutiny of his relationship, exacerbated by Lauryn’s legal battle for child support for their two children, Kairo, 4, and Kinara, 1. Despite living comfortably thanks to Kyle, Lauryn has criticized the disparity between her children’s lives and those of Kyle and Annie’s, even prompting Kyle to consider legal action over her social media posts.
The drama has caused stress for Annie, who is reportedly uncomfortable with Lauryn’s awareness of her address and claims of spying. Consequently, Annie is contemplating a move to start anew. However, for the moment, she has allowed Kyle to return for the children’s sake.
“Annie acknowledges that this might not be their permanent home but has prioritized her children’s well-being,” said the insider. “She’s managing the kids’ return to school and appreciates Kyle’s support. Although nothing is finalized, Kyle is discussing their future more openly, which is a positive step forward. Annie’s focus remains on providing a stable and happy environment for their boys.”
