Kyle Walker's relationship with Annie Kilner is over, with the couple going their separate ways.

"Sadly, after many years of marriage and three wonderful children together; I have decided to take some time away from Kyle.

"I do not wish to comment on the position any further.

"For now, I ask that the privacy of myself and our three young children is respected during this difficult time."

Walker has now moved out of the couple's £2.4million mansion.

The pair started dating when they were teenagers, with Kilner previously saying: “When we started going out it was love at first sight.”

They were together for nine years but split for a while back in May 2019.

Reality star Laura Brown said she'd had a fling with Walker, telling a friend at the time: “I felt Kyle had exploited me by using his power and wealth.

“Because he is a rich footballer he felt that he could treat me how he wanted.

“One night I just decided to do the decent thing and tell Annie what Kyle had been doing.”

She branded Walker a 'rat', too, telling Kilner: : “He’s a rat.

“He was always funny and a nice guy to me but when I found out he was actually with u and kids I’m not that girl to keep seeing him I no (sic) you’ve been togther (sic) long time but it’s no excuse for him.”

In 2020, it was alleged Walker had been part of a coronavirus lockdown party.

He became a father for a fourth time after a short-term relationship with Lauryn Goodman.

Kilner found out about their child over the phone and told a friend, per The Sun: "He’s a fool for risking his family for this.

"When he told me I was heartbroken. I also felt physically sick. All the air in your body leaves you.

"My world completely caved in on me in that second.

"It was the worst-case scenario, the one thing I dreaded most but knew was possible, given his track record with women.

"I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Not only had he cheated on me but she was pregnant with his baby."

That same year, Kilner said Walker had caused a 'lifetime of damage'.

“Kyle says he wants his future with me and the kids," she said.

"He wants to marry me but he’s caused a lifetime of damage. But when you have children they come first.

“My kids want their daddy. Until you’re in this situation you don’t know what you’d do.”

The couple then proceeded to put their troubles behind them and married at the beginning of 2022.

Walker proposed with an engagement ring worth £250,000.

However, in March last year, trouble once again arose.

Walker was seen dancing with another woman on a night out and now, just 10 months on, they've called time on their relationship.

Kilner and Walker share three sons together: Roman, Riaan and Reign.
