Kyle Walker and Annie Kilner Expecting Seventh Child Amid Relationship Struggles

England footballer Kyle Walker is reportedly expecting his fifth child with Annie Kilner. The Burnley defender, 35, already has four sons with the 33-year-old Kilner, who is said to be due in June after sharing the news during the Christmas holidays.

This latest announcement indicates that the couple has navigated through their well-publicized relationship challenges, particularly following Walker's infidelities with influencer Lauryn Goodman, with whom he has two children.

Annie and Kyle have informed their sons—Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, Reign, five, and Rezon, one—about their new sibling, aiming for another name beginning with 'R,' although a final choice hasn't yet been made.

A source revealed to the Daily Mail that Annie was keen for another baby to "complete" their family and strengthen their marriage. Following Walker's return from Italy last year, she expressed her desire for another child, believing it would help heal their relationship.

Their friends were reportedly surprised by the announcement, acknowledging that new additions can sometimes add pressure to a marriage. However, both families are offering support.

The couple wed in 2021, but their relationship faced significant strain in January 2024 when it was revealed that Walker had fathered a child with Lauryn Goodman. After Lauryn informed Annie on Boxing Day 2023 about her second pregnancy with Walker, tensions escalated.

Annie initiated divorce proceedings after Walker's betrayal and moved out, but sources indicate she is now enjoying her pregnancy. In contrast to her previous experience, which was marred by stress from the scandal, she feels the couple is in a much better place now.

Walker signed with AC Milan last year but returned to the UK to play for Burnley, allowing him to rekindle his relationship with Annie and their children in Cheshire.

It remains unclear if Lauryn is aware of Annie's pregnancy, but the two women have been engaged in ongoing disputes, particularly after the revelation of Walker's secret child. Lauryn has faced criticism for her handling of the situation, including a failed legal battle concerning child support.

Concerns linger about how Lauryn may react to the news of Annie's pregnancy, especially given her past behavior, which has included public disputes aimed at garnering attention.
