Kyle Walker reveals gender of fourth baby with Annie Kilner & hints at name as pals say he was by her side during birth
MANCHESTER City’s Kyle Walker has become a dad for the sixth time after estranged wife Annie Kilner gave birth to a boy.
Pals said Annie, 30, was “doing well” and the England defender, 33, held her hand at the delivery.
The couple, who now have four sons, took time apart in January after it was revealed Walker had a second child with model Lauryn Goodman, 33.
Friends said the defender, 33, “couldn’t be happier” after Annie gave birth this week — their fourth son together.
Annie — already mum to Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, and Reign, five — was “doing well”.
A source said: “Mum and baby are both happy and healthy.
“Kyle couldn’t be happier to have four boys and is so proud of Annie.
“He was by her side when she gave birth.
“It has not been an easy few months for them but Kyle is doing everything he can to support Annie.”
The newborn’s name is under wraps for now but it is likely to begin with “R”, like his brothers.
The Sun revealed in January that Annie had kicked Kyle out of the family’s £3.5million home in Prestbury, Cheshire.
But a friend said: “Having their son has made Kyle and Annie think about their relationship and they are committed to working on it together.”
Last month she was there to see Kyle captain England for the first time, as he walked out with their three sons at Wembley before the match against Brazil.
He got injured in that game but is expected to be in the Man City squad for tonight’s Champions League clash with Real Madrid.
Pals said Annie was keen for him to remain a stable fixture in their young family’s life.
The friend added: “Having Kyle in the delivery suite was a no-brainer for Annie.
“While they are still navigating their relationship as a couple, Annie would never stop Kyle from spending time with their children.”
Their split came after Lauryn revealed Kyle was the father of her young son and daughter.
In a bombshell interview with The Sun, Kyle said he bitterly regretted hurting “soulmate” Annie.
The footballer said: “What I’ve done is horrible and I take full responsibility.
“I made idiot choices and idiot decisions.”
Kyle landed a first Treble with City last season and is again pushing to win the Prem, FA Cup and Champions League.
A pal said he was fully focused on tonight’s game at the Etihad, adding: “He can’t wait to get back out on the pitch with the squad.”
ANNIE AND KYLE'S RELATIONSHIP
Annie Kilner and Kyle Walker started dating in their teens.
The brunette beauty said: “When we started going out it was love at first sight.”
They were together for over nine years before splitting in May 2019.
Walker then became a dad for the fourth time after a short-term relationship with Lauryn Goodman.
Despite the challenges in their relationship, Walker and Kilner put their troubles behind them and got married at the beginning of 2022 after the England star proposed with a £250,000 engagement ring.
In March 2023, the pair were spotted kissing in public, with life seemingly back to normal.
The couple then split in January 2024 after Goodman revealed the footballer was the father of her two children.
