£50m Man City star who couldn’t stop playing away is ditched by wife
After a slew of sex scandals, separations, a Covid breach and two love children...
FOOTBALL star Kyle Walker has been dumped by his long-suffering wife – just over two years after the couple’s wedding.
Annie Kilner began dating the Manchester City defender when both were teenagers in their home city of Sheffield.
But the pair had a tumultuous relationship punctuated by separations, two love children and a slew of sex scandals. They included allegations that Walker, 33, had sex with a reality television star in the back of his Bentley and broke Covid lockdown rules to host an orgy with two prostitutes.
Walker was also caught on CCTV last year apparently flashing friends in a bar and fondling a woman’s breasts. Afterwards, Ms Kilner

posted on social media: ‘’No matter how good you are to people, it won’t make them good to you.’
Earlier this week, she took to Instagram again, telling her followers she had ‘decided to take some time away from Kyle’.
Leading divorce lawyer Emma Gill said last night that after a 13year relationship including a twoyear marriage, Ms Kilner, 30, could be entitled to half of the player’s estimated €30 million fortune.
It is thought Walker’s on-off relationship with model Lauryn Goodman – who has a three-year-old son and five-month-old daughter with the footballer – may have been the trigger for the split.
MailOnline reported that Walker had broken a promise to his wife to cease contact with Ms Goodman and was kicked out of the family’s €4 million mansion in Cheshire five months ago. He is now said to be living in a Manchester penthouse.
The footballer is known for his pace on the pitch – despite being in the twilight of his career, Walker was the quickest in the Premier
League last season, clocking a top sprint speed of 21.18mph. But off the field, he has proved no stranger to controversy.
In 2013, he was the first high-profile player to be pictured inhaling nitrous oxide, known as hippy crack. The gas gives a feeling of intense euphoria but users can die of suffocation or suffer strokes, seizures or blackouts, and it has since been made illegal.
His penchant for playing away has proved to be a recurring theme since he was caught texting Playboy model Carla Howe on the eve of the Euro 2016 tournament, when he played for Tottenham Hotspur.
Walker became the world’s most expensive defender when he signed for Manchester City for £50 million the following season. He has won 15 trophies with the club.
In 2018, Walker starred for England as Gareth Southgate’s side reached the semi-finals of the World Cup for the first time since 1990, then went one better in the Covid-delayed 2020 Euros by reaching the final.
But in 2019, he was exposed as a love rat by reality TV star Laura Brown, who said they had sex in his €220,000 Bentley 4x4 at a drivethrough coffee bar. The liaison resulted in Walker being kicked out by Ms Kilner for the first time.
The model took him back just weeks later, only for Walker to enjoy a brief fling with Ms Goodman, 32. Walker came clean to his partner the following February – dropping the bombshell that Ms Goodman was weeks away from

giving birth to his son, Kairo.
Ms Kilner kicked Walker out again and he moved into a €9,000a-month flat in Hale, Cheshire – where he staged a three-hour sex party with a friend and two escorts. The romp took place a day before Walker urged supporters in an interview to follow coronavirus lockdown advice to stay at home to help the NHS.
Ms Kilner took him back soon after and in June 2020 Walker proposed to his long-suffering girlfriend with a €280,000 engagement ring. The couple tied the knot in November 2021 but sources said tensions remained.
Last year Ms Goodman gave birth to a daughter and weeks later it was reported that Walker had bought a €3million seaside mansion in East Sussex for her to live in.
