Annie Kilner ‘hires Coleen Rooney’s lawyer following divorce from husband Kyle Walker’ after fathering another child with Lauryn Goodman

Annie Kilner has reportedly hired a lawyer who helped Coleen Rooney during her Wagatha Christie High Court battle with Rebekah Vardy.

The 30-year-old WAG is said to have sought the help of trial lawyer and sports lawyer Paul Lunt during her divorce from husband Kyle Walker.

The footballer, 33, fathered two children with Lauryn Goodman, 32, during his marriage to Annie, with Lauryn’s youngest being just five months old.

According to The sunAnnie has promised friends she now wants a divorce as a fight looms over his £30million fortune.

Annie’s family is also said to be keen for her to make her divorce from Kyle permanent after she confirmed on Instagram that they are spending time apart.

The publication also reports that Annie has had a series of ‘heart-to-hearts’ with Coleen in the wake of the split.

Despite their split, Kyle and Annie are now both represented by PR guru Rachel Monk, who helped Coleen through her High Court trial.

MailOnline has contacted Annie’s representative for comment.

The Manchester City defender has been rumored to be the biological father of Lauryn’s child since she gave birth in August, who she claimed to have welcomed with ‘another footballer’.

Since Annie announced the couple’s divorce on Sunday, Lauryn has continued to drop not-so-subtle hints about her daughter’s paternity.

MailOnline revealed that Kyle is the father and this is the second child he has fathered with Lauryn as she also shares three-year-old son Kairo with the footballer after they began a brief romance during his temporary split from Annie in 2019.

Sources close to the couple say that Annie has known for a while that the baby is Kyle’s and that this did not prompt her decision to take a break from the marriage.

A friend said: ‘Kyle and Annie have been on the rocks for a while.

“There are a lot of historical issues between them, as well as his arguments with Lauryn, that led to the split.

‘They both present a united front for the sake of the three children they share, who are their main concern.

“The marriage isn’t 100 percent over yet, it can be saved, but there’s a lot of healing that needs to happen first.

“They need to take a break from the relationship to replenish and reevaluate.”

The friend added, “Kyle is no longer in contact with Lauryn.

‘Her activities behind the scenes have greatly affected Annie and had a negative impact on her health.’

It is believed that Kyle moved out of the couple’s £2.4million home after the divorce.

Kyle has put Rachel’s email address on his Instagram account for ‘all non-football media inquiries’.

Despite their joint representation, a source insists: ‘They are very separated at the moment. The blow of what happened cannot be softened.”

Meanwhile, leading legal minds have told MailOnline that Annie could be entitled to half of her husband’s fortune.

Lauryn hinted on her Instagram that her second child could be with Kyle after updating her bio to reveal that her daughter’s last name starts with a W, just like Kyle’s, writing: ‘Mummy to @kairowalker & KW’.

Lauryn also liked a series of comments asking if Manchester City player Kyle is the father of her second child.

One read: ‘I’m actually shocked! Because Kyle Walker must be the father with all these clues!! But is he in a relationship with 2 women?! Gosh, all the poor kids involved.”

Another comment: “You do realize that people can be kept quiet, both babies’ last names are Walker. Stop being fat,” Lauryn also liked.

Kyle and Annie share three children: Riaan, Roman and Reign.

The childhood sweethearts got married two years ago, but have been in a relationship for thirteen years.

Announcing their divorce on Sunday, Annie said in an Instragam post: ‘Unfortunately, after many years of marriage and three wonderful children together, I have decided to take some time away from Kyle.

‘I don’t want to comment further on the situation. For now, I ask that the privacy of myself and my three young children be respected during this difficult time.”

Kyle and Annie’s relationship was marred by allegations surrounding the England star’s infidelity, but his partner always wanted to take him back.

There were claims he held a lockdown sex party with escorts and shared texts with a Playboy model while on international duty.

Eight years ago, Facebook also vehemently denied being in any way linked to an explicit and sickening video involving a woman.

After Kyle was caught on CCTV at a bar last year apparently showing off friends and fondling a mysterious blonde woman’s breasts, his wife posted on social media: ‘No matter how good you are to people, they won’t be good to you to make. ‘

MailOnline revealed on Thursday that he is now in a penthouse in Manchester.

Kyle’s off-field scandals don’t seem to affect his life on the field.

He also remains a key player in Gareth Southgate’s England squad, where he has 81 caps to his name and scored his first Three Lions goal against Ukraine in September.
