Kyle Walker's wife, Annie Kilner, has reportedly filed for divorce following another scandal involving the Manchester City star.

The childhood sweethearts, who met at school, have been rocked by reports that Walker fathered two children with reality star Lauryn Goodman during 'brief flings'.

Now, it seems the end may be in sight for the couple, with Annie allegedly preparing her lawyers to fight for half of Kyle's staggering £27 million fortune. It's reported that the pair are no longer on speaking terms and that Walker, the vice-captain of the England national team, has also sought legal advice.

"Kyle was stunned when he got the papers," a source told The Sun, adding: "He's spoken to Annie about them and they are discussing the next steps. This doesn't necessarily mean they will divorce. She wants Kyle to know she's not messing about. But if this is a bluff, it may well back-fire."

Lauryn Goodman updates

The couple first separated after Christmas when Goodman confirmed the shocking news that Walker was the father of her one year old daughter, Kinara. The pair had a brief affair in London while Walker was there for surgery, which resulted in Lauryn becoming pregnant with her second child.

Sources previously suggested that Annie has been involved in several discussions about separating from Kyle for good.

"Annie is prepared to go through with it. She isn't messing about and has spoken to lawyers about what the future looks like," the insider explained, reports the Mirror.
