Kyle Walker's wife 'serves England star with divorce papers' with fight over £27m fortune set to begin

According to The Sun, Annie has delivered the news to Walker after instructing her lawyers to begin legal proceedings to end their marriage.

She is now reportedly ready to fight for half of the 34-year-old's huge £27million fortune, with their fractured relationship 'turning ugly'.

A source has claimed that the couple are no longer on speaking terms, with Walker also consulting his own lawyers as the saga escalates.

The papers were reportedly filed 'weeks ago' with tensions rising in the wake of Walker's fling with Lauryn.

An insider is quoted as saying: "Kyle was stunned when he got the papers.

"He's spoken to Annie about them and they are discussing the next steps.

"This doesn't necessarily mean they will divorce.

"This is as much Annie flexing her muscles as it is anything else.

"She wants Kyle to know she's not messing about. But if this is a bluff, it may well back-fire."

Walker and Annie split at Christmas after it emerged that he'd fathered a second child with Lauryn, despite previously insisting their relationship was over.

Lauryn actually broke the news to Annie, sending her a text message that confirmed her son was Walker's.

Walker and Annie met in Sheffield when they were teenagers and got married in Cheshire back in November 2021.

According to the report, the wedding took 'everyone by surprise' given how Walker had been unfaithful to Annie at various times in their relationship.

Ex on the Beach reality star Laura Brown previously said she slept with the Premier League star in his Bentley, while the right-back's continuous flings with Lauryn also contributed to the surprise factor.

Back in January, the City star issued a grovelling apology and vowed to fight for his marriage to Annie.

The six-time Premier League title winner said: “What I’ve done is horrible and I take full responsibility.

“I made idiot choices and idiot decisions. I can’t begin to think or imagine what Annie is going through. I’ve tried to ask her but there’s pain and hurt.

“The only person to blame is me. I have roles and responsibilities that I’m aware of and I’ve made stupid choices.

"But I need to own up to my mistakes — I owe it to everyone.”

Walker has been a key player for City ever since arriving from Tottenham back in 2017.

He is expected to play a part in their Premier League showdown with Wolves on Sunday (2pm) with the club looking to win the title for the fifth year on the trot.
