Annie Kilner, the wife of footballer Kyle Walker, was seen for the first time in public
after news broke that Lauryn Goodman is reportedly planning to relocate to Italy next week.
This comes amid rumors that Annie and Kyle’s relationship is on the rocks, with reports suggesting the couple is barely speaking.
The 33-year-old was spotted attending Tanya Bardsley’s Mental Mummies charity luncheon at Mottram Hall in Cheshire on Friday.
Her appearance was particularly noteworthy as it came just hours after the news that Lauryn is preparing to move closer to her former partner, Kyle, who currently plays for AC Milan.
A Strained Relationship
The ongoing tension between Annie and Kyle, 34, has been widely reported in recent weeks, with insiders revealing that the couple’s communication has deteriorated significantly. Despite their long-term marriage, the couple is said to be barely talking, and the relationship is so strained that they have reportedly been living in separate rooms.
For her part, Annie appeared solemn as she arrived at the charity event, dressed in a casual yet stylish outfit consisting of washed-out blue jeans and a cropped denim jacket. She accessorized her look with a black shoulder bag, black pointed heels, and silver hoop earrings. Her serious expression mirrored the difficult situation she seems to be facing at home, where her marriage to Kyle is in turmoil.
Lauryn’s Decision to Move
The timing of Lauryn Goodman’s reported move to Italy has added fuel to the fire. It was revealed on Wednesday that Lauryn plans to relocate to be closer to her two children with Kyle, son Kairo, four, and daughter Kinara, 12 months. Lauryn had previously spoken about her reluctance to move abroad, especially after her publicized affair with Kyle and the ensuing family court case. However, sources close to her now claim that she is looking forward to this new chapter.
A source explained, “Lauryn wants to be as accommodating as she can. She always wants to do the best for her children. Lauryn was happy when Kyle signed for Italy as Saudi Arabia would’ve been a bit too far, but Italy feels more manageable. It’s a lot closer than her commute to Cheshire, which can be challenging with the busy roads.”
Her move marks a sharp shift from her previous comments, where she had expressed indifference to Kyle’s whereabouts, even suggesting that he could be “on Mars” for all she cared. Lauryn’s decision to relocate is likely to stir further tensions between Annie and Kyle, especially since the couple is already grappling with the fallout from Kyle’s past infidelities.
Kyle and Annie’s Marriage Struggles
Kyle’s decision to move to Italy to join AC Milan is seen as a major point of contention in his marriage to Annie. Reports suggest that their relationship has worsened since he left for Milan, with the couple failing to discuss his move in any meaningful way before he departed. Kyle allegedly told Annie, “I’m going, it’s up to you if you come with me,” leaving her feeling disconnected and uncertain about their future together.
Annie had initially planned to fly to Milan with their four children, but her trip was delayed due to a mix of stormy weather and renewed tensions with Kyle. Despite some hopes of a fresh start, friends of the couple suggest that their marriage is at a breaking point, with sources claiming that the situation is “as bad as it’s ever been.”
A close friend of the family shared, “They’re not in a great place and are barely talking. It’s still unclear if Annie will join him permanently in Italy. Everything is up in the air, but it’s been like this ever since the scandal broke.”
Future Uncertain
As the situation continues to unfold, the future of Annie and Kyle’s marriage remains uncertain. The family dynamics have become increasingly complicated, especially with Lauryn’s move to Italy and the added pressure of raising multiple children in the midst of a high-profile family drama. Although Annie and Kyle have four children of their own, the strain in their relationship is palpable, and it remains to be seen if they will manage to reconcile or if the distance between them will only continue to grow.
For now, Annie continues to focus on her own life and family, making public appearances like her attendance at the charity event, but the weight of her strained marriage looms large. It is clear that, for the time being, the Kilner-Walker family’s future remains uncertain.
