Annie Kilner agrees to Christmas truce with Kyle Walker despite 'horrible 12 months' as plans to divorce Man City star put aside over festive period

Premier League

Manchester City

Everton

<p>It was earlier reported that Walker, who has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/lauryn-goodman-love-mrs-walker-love-island-star-party-annie-kilner-divorce-bombshell-man-city-defender-kyle/blt51251aabb3dd447e" target="_blank">fathered two children with former Love Island contestant Lauryn Goodman</a>, was begging for “one last chance” with long-time partner Annie Kilner – as they fight to save a marriage that has generated divorce speculation.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>It was during the festive period in 2023 that Goodman made Kilner aware that her husband was the father of her daughter, the pair having already had a son together. Kilner went on to throw Walker out of the house they shared, however, she later took him back as the Manchester City star <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/kyle-walker-wife-annie-kilner-secretly-meets-lawyers-divorce-man-city/blt1feb1fcf31411972" target="_blank">continues to live in the Cheshire mansion that they share with their four children</a>. Now <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/32449620/kyle-walker-home-christmas-truce/" target="_blank"><em>The Sun</em></a> reports that Walker's wife has agreed to spend Christmas with him. The player will be with his family on Christmas morning before joining the City squad ahead of their Boxing Day fixture against Everton.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>A source told <em>The Sun</em>: "It’s been a horrible 12 months. But huge credit to Annie. Despite everything Kyle has done, she couldn’t bear the thought of him waking up alone on Christmas Day without his children. They’re putting everything to one side to save the kids from any more heartache."</p>

WHAT HAS BEEN SAID

<p>The England international will hope for a happy Christmas with his family and that his team can get back to winning ways against the Toffees. The Cityzens have won just one game out of their last 12 outings across all competitions and have slipped to seventh position in the league before Christmas.</p>
