Annie Kilner, wife of Manchester City and England footballer Kyle Walker, is expecting the couple’s fifth child, a pregnancy announcement overshadowed by her fury over the private news being leaked to the public. While the pair are reportedly “delighted” to expand their family, the 33-year-old has condemned the intrusion, stating her right to share such personal news on her own terms.
What Did Annie Kilner Say About the Pregnancy Leak?
Annie Kilner confirmed the pregnancy today but expressed significant anger that she was not the one to break the news. She slammed the leak as “intrusive,” declaring, “It’s my right to decide when I share something so personal.” The baby is due in June, and it will be the fifth child for the couple, who are already parents to four sons: Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, Reign, five, and Rezon, one.
How Have Kyle & Annie Navigated Recent Marital Struggles?
This pregnancy comes after a period of intense public turmoil in their marriage. In 2023, their relationship fractured when it was revealed Kyle had fathered two children with influencer Lauryn Goodman. Walker publicly admitted to “idiot choices and idiot decisions” in a Sun interview, expressing deep regret for the pain caused. After a period of separation, the couple reconciled for the sake of their family, with Kyle moving back into their marital home last year.
What Are the Family’s Plans for the New Baby?
Despite the challenging context, an insider close to the couple told the Daily Mail that they are united in joy about the new arrival. “Everybody is very happy for them and doing all they can to support Annie,” the source said. The couple’s four boys are said to be “very excited,” and the parents are insistent that the new baby’s name will also start with the letter ‘R’, continuing the family tradition.
How Does This News Fit Into Their Ongoing Reconciliation?
Friends suggest this pregnancy is a conscious step in solidifying their renewed commitment. The insider added, “She believes that a baby help put all their troubles behind them.” The couple has been working on their relationship, including trips to Ibiza and the United States with their children last summer, in an effort to move past the very public betrayal and co-parenting complexities with Lauryn Goodman.
