Kyle is then set to face a huge legal fight for a share of his £27m fortune in the New Year.

FOOTIE ace Kyle Walker will be with estranged wife Annie Kilner on Christmas Day after they agreed to put their divorce to one side for the sake of their kids.

The England and Man City star, 34, faces a blockbuster legal fight for a share of his £27million fortune in the New Year.

Kyle Walker and estranged wife Annie Kilner agreed to put their divorce to one side for the sake of their kids.

Kyle Walker and estranged wife Annie Kilner have agreed to put their differences aside this Christmas for the sake of their four children, despite a tumultuous year marked by infidelity and legal battles.

The Manchester City defender, 33, was ousted from the family home last December after model Lauryn Goodman revealed he had secretly fathered her second child. Yet, Annie, 31, is determined to prioritize their children—Roman, 12, Riaan, 8, Reign, 6, and baby Rezon—by allowing Kyle to join them for Christmas morning.

A source close to the family shared, “It’s been a horrible 12 months, but huge credit to Annie. Despite everything, she couldn’t bear the thought of Kyle waking up alone on Christmas without his kids. They’re putting aside their differences to shield the children from more heartache.”

Kyle will celebrate part of Christmas Day with his family before rejoining his City teammates for their Boxing Day match against Everton. Annie, meanwhile, may spend the rest of the holidays with her family in Sheffield.

The pair’s relationship has been fraught with challenges since Lauryn disclosed Kyle’s paternity in late 2022. Annie, then heavily pregnant, was blindsided by a message from Lauryn confirming the footballer’s involvement. Kyle admitted his wrongdoing in an interview shortly after, calling his actions “horrible” and taking full responsibility.

Efforts to reconcile proved rocky, with tensions flaring during the Euros and legal disputes over child support for Lauryn’s daughter, Kinara. A judge’s criticism of Lauryn’s handling of the situation, coupled with revelations of Kyle’s financial attempts to maintain secrecy, only deepened the rift.

Now, Annie is reportedly seeking a 50-50 split of Kyle’s fortune as part of their “financial divorce.” While the couple’s future remains uncertain, their Christmas truce offers a brief respite from the turmoil, ensuring their children enjoy the festive season.
