Kyle Walker's Wife Annie Kilner Expecting Their Fifth Child Amid Marital Reconciliation

England international Kyle Walker is reportedly anticipating the arrival of his fifth child with partner Annie Kilner.

The 35-year-old Burnley defender already shares four sons with the 33-year-old partner, who is said to be due in June after revealing the news to close relatives and friends over the Christmas period.

This pregnancy indicates the couple has navigated through their widely reported relationship difficulties, having previously neared separation following Walker's past involvement with influencer Lauryn Goodman. Walker also has two children with Goodman, 35.

According to The Mirror, Annie and Kyle have informed their sons—Roman, 11, Riaan, 7, Reign, 5, and Rezon, 1—about the new addition arriving this summer. The pair plan to choose another name beginning with "R," though a final decision has not yet been made.

The Daily Mirror has contacted representatives for both Kyle and Annie for comment.

A source told the Daily Mail that Annie was keen to have another child to "complete" their family and strengthen their marriage.

The insider shared: "After Kyle returned from Italy last year, Annie expressed her wish for the boys to have another sibling. She feels a new baby will help them move past previous troubles."

"Family and friends were surprised by the news, as some challenges remain between them. A new baby can sometimes add strain to a relationship, but everyone is supportive and happy for them."

The source added: "The couple's four sons are thrilled about the new arrival and talk about it often."

Kyle and Annie, who began dating in their youth, married in 2021. Their relationship came under significant strain in January 2024 when it was revealed that Walker had fathered a daughter, Kinara, with Lauryn Goodman.

Goodman had contacted Annie on Boxing Day 2023 to disclose she was expecting a second child with Walker, who had already fathered her first son, Kairo, now 5, during a temporary separation from Annie.

The fallout led to Walker moving out of the family home, and Annie filed for divorce as their marriage unraveled.

The insider explained: "Annie is enjoying this pregnancy much more. During her last pregnancy with Rezon, news broke of Kyle's child with Lauryn, which caused her considerable stress. This time, things are very different—the couple has worked hard to rebuild trust, and she sees the baby as a new beginning."

Walker spent the latter part of last season with AC Milan in an attempt to distance himself from the controversy involving Goodman. Though he did not secure a permanent contract with the Italian club, his return to the UK allowed him to rejoin Annie and their children at their Cheshire home, helping to revive their relationship.

It remains unclear whether Goodman, who shares two children with the former Manchester City and AC Milan player, is aware of Annie's pregnancy. Tensions have persisted between the two women since the revelation of Walker's child with Goodman.

Goodman has been accused of escalating the conflict with Annie and Kyle on social media to keep public focus on the situation. At one point, she suggested relocating to Italy to be nearer to Walker for their children’s sake.

The source noted: "Annie and her inner circle are preparing for how Lauryn might react to the pregnancy. Given past behavior, there is concern that her response could be negative and lead to further complications."

In 2024, Goodman lost a legal dispute with Walker over child support arrangements.

Judge Edward Hess criticized her for what he described as "insatiable greed," accusing her of treating the defender—who earns around £160,000 per week—as an "open-ended checkbook" and using repeated threats to secure her demands.

Her requests included a £31,000 artificial turf installation, £30,000 for air conditioning, a £70,000 car allowance every three years, a vehicle for a nanny, and annual child maintenance of £150,000.

In his ruling, the judge also condemned Goodman's Boxing Day message to Annie, stating it was "intended to, and did, cause distress to the father's wife."

He rejected Goodman's claim that the message was an attempt to build a positive relationship between the two women in Walker's life, saying: "I do not accept the mother's explanation that this text message was sent in an attempt to create a good working relationship."
