Annie Kilner has been seen for the first time since she filed for divorce from Manchester City footballer Kyle Walker

It was revealed on Wednesday that the WAG, 33, served the England star with divorce papers because she 'just can't forgive him for what he's done to her'. 

Kyle fathered two children with influencer Lauryn Goodman, Kairo, four, and Kinara, 14 months. 

Pictured for the first time since filing, Annie was seen getting out of her car in Alderely Edge, Cheshire, on Thursday.

She was sporting a white button-up top with black leggings and her dark hair slicked into a high ponytail.

The mother-of-four has instructed lawyers to begin legal proceedings as she prepares to fight for half of the Manchester City defender's £27million fortune.

The documents were served to him 10 days ago, and MailOnline understands Kyle had moved back into their family home in Cheshire - but not into Annie's bed.

The 34-year-old footballer, who earns an estimated £175,000 a week, is said to have been sleeping separately from Annie in a room on the third floor of the house.

The couple separated last December after Walker was revealed to have fathered a second child with model Lauryn, who texted Annie to reveal the news.

As their tumultuous relationship hit a new low, a source told MailOnline: 'Things are as bad between them as they have ever been. It wasn't like a normal marriage.

'They have barely been speaking to each other. She is divorcing Kyle because she just can't forgive him for what he's done to her. She can't get over it. She has tried. 

'Kyle seems to have accepted it's over. He's been happier in the last week or so. Like the weight of the world's been lifted from his shoulders.'

Childhood sweethearts Kyle and Annie met in Sheffield as teenagers but the footballer has been embroiled in a series of sex scandals over the years.

Kyle allegedly had an affair with Ex on the Beach TV reality star Laura Brown in 2019 and went on to secretly father two children with Instagram influencer Lauryn.

The footballer had already been kicked out of his shared home by Annie when Lauryn revealed for the first time that she was having his baby.

But Annie and Kyle stayed together and married in November 2021 at Mottram Hall in Cheshire after he proposed with a £250,000 ring.

However, Kyle then cheated on Annie with Lauryn once again, who fell pregnant with their second child - a girl called Kinara who was born in June last year.

In December, Lauryn texted Annie with a bombshell message to say: 'Hey it's Lauryn. I just wanted to quickly tell you that Kyle is the father of our daughter.'

Annie, who was pregnant at the time with their fourth son, confirmed they had split two weeks later - and Kyle moved into a rented mansion near their shared home as he tried to repair their relationship. 

He told The Sun at the time: 'What I've done is horrible and I take full responsibility. I made idiot choices and idiot decisions.'

Then in July, Kyle was praised by a judge for being 'sensible, honest and reliable' during a family court battle with Goodman over child maintenance payments. 

He appeared at the Central Family Court in London in a dispute with Lauryn over the amount of money he should pay to support Kinara, who is now aged one.

Lauryn asked the court to order that Kyle pay £14,750 a month in 'global' child maintenance for the pair's two children, as well as tens of thousands for cars, furnishing and property maintenance and other costs such as nursery fees.

Kyle opposed some of the demands or argued they should be decreased, telling the court that he was not an 'open chequebook' despite earning between £3million and £5million per year.

In his ruling, Judge Edward Hess dismissed many of Lauryn's demands, concluding that she was 'not reliable' while claiming Kyle 'acted with dignity and generosity'.
