Kyle Walker's two-year marriage to pregnant wife Annie Kilner is 'irreparable' after cheating, while friends say 'the only way forward is a very expensive divorce'
Kyle Walker's two-year marriage to wife Annie Kilner is 'irreparable' after she discovered the extent of his cheating, friends of the England football star have revealed.
Those close to Kyle say there is no going back for him and Annie, with whom he has been dating for 13 years and is now expecting a fourth child.
MailOnline revealed she is pregnant last week and her baby bump was on display on Sunday as she met her estranged husband in a car park in Cheshire to hand over the couple's eldest son Roman, 12.
Despite both Kyle, 33, and Annie, 30, being happy to be parents again, friends say they expect an 'expensive divorce' for the English star who fathered two children with mum blogger Lauryn Goodman.
One told MailOnline: 'There's no doubt that Annie is going to assert herself after what Kyle did to her.

Lauryn flew out of the country with their two children after it emerged that Kyle is the father of her five-month-old daughter.
'She has put up with it all for a long time, but now it appears that it is her turn to take charge.
'It is impossible to see a way back now, the only way forward seems to be a divorce, a very expensive one. You wouldn't be surprised if she took it to the cleaners.
“It's terrifying to think how much it could cost him, but it's a mess and it seems like this is the only way forward now.”
Kyle currently earns £180,000 a week as a Manchester City player, but also has lucrative deals as the face of brands including Puma and boohooMan.
It has also been reported that he is worth a whopping £30 million.
On Monday evening, the footballer took Roman to The Best FIFA Football Awards in London, where father and son were dressed identically.
Kyle was named in the FIFA Men's World 11 alongside his Manchester City teammates Erling Haaland, Bernardo Silva and Kevin De Bruyne.
The England star put on a brave face despite moving from the family's £2.4million home in Cheshire to a nearby home.

Last week, Walker publicly apologized to Annie for his infidelity.
In a statement he wrote: Annie is a wonderful woman and I can only apologize for the upset I have caused her.
“She has been part of my life for so long and that will never change for the sake of our children.
“I would ask for privacy for our entire family, and especially our young children, as we work through these difficult times.”
His words came after Annie announced the split last Wednesday.
She wrote on Instagram: 'I am posting this in response to increasing recent media questions about my marriage to Kyle and in an effort to protect my family from the intensity of media attention.
Annie announced the split last Wednesday. She wrote: 'Sadly, after many years of marriage and three wonderful children together, I have decided to take some time away from Kyle'
“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 our three young children be respected during this difficult time.”
Meanwhile, Lauryn, who accused Kyle of living a 'double life', told how she spoke to Annie via FaceTime before going public that Kyle was her daughter's father.
She has since hit out at the decorated footballer in a tell-all interview with The Sun.
She told the publication: “I told Annie I would keep it quiet, but now that's impossible after what they did, so I have to speak out.
“In his statement he said 'our' children, not all 'my' children. They put this there. Kyle had an opportunity here to get all his kids involved, but didn't.
“He doesn't think about his children, he thinks about himself.”
She added: 'I don't blame myself for their break-up – other women have contacted me and said they've been with Kyle too.'
