Annie Kilner reportedly wants to cash in on the messy situation she has been dragged into by the Man City star after fathering two children with another woman.

According to sources, Annie, 31, has already obtained legal advice, positioning herself for a possible split, but has expressed a willingness to give their marriage another chance if her financial demands are met.

“It’s a s***show at the moment," a source close to the situation reportedly told The Sun.

 "Kyle and Annie are arguing about pretty much everything. She’s told him she will only consider giving it another go if he gives her half of his money first." 

Annie is already well informed that she is entitled to half of Walker’s wealth if they divorce and is keen to ensure that none of her share goes to Lauryn. 

“She’s been told she’s entitled to half of his wealth if they split — and doesn’t want another penny of her share going to Lauryn," the source noted.

"She wants the independence and security divorce would bring her, but wants to try and keep her family together at the same time," the source added.

The situation calls to mind a similar saga that rocked the football world in 2023 with PSG star Achraf Hakimi and his ex-wife Hiba Abouk.

An unverified report claimed Abouk had demanded half of Hakimi’s fortune in the divorce proceedings, only to discover the Moroccan wingback had allegedly moved his fortune to his mother’s name, denying her any access to his funds.

However, till date, there is no confirmation that the alleged wealth transfer was true.

Meanwhile, both Annie and Kyle have already consulted solicitors about formalizing this financial arrangement. 

"Kyle wants financial security for Annie and his boys," the insider revealed as per the aforementioned outlet.

 "He is happy for her to have the money as he wants security for them — regardless of how their relationship ends up."

The tensions between Kyle and Annie have been brewing for years, primarily due to Walker’s infidelity. 

In 2019, during a break from his relationship with Annie, Walker became involved with Lauryn Goodman, who gave birth to their son, Kairo, in April 2020. 

Although Kyle and Annie eventually reconciled and got married in 2021, their relationship took another hit when Lauryn gave birth to their second child, daughter Kinara, in August 2023, after another liaison with Kyle.

Annie discovered the truth about Walker’s continued involvement with Lauryn through a text message from the influencer in December 2022.

At the time, Annie was pregnant with her and Kyle’s fourth child, Rezon, which made the news all the more devastating.

 "It has been a really tough time for Annie," a source shared. 

Two weeks after receiving the message, Annie announced their split but later gave birth to Rezon in April 2023

. Despite this, the family even vacationed together in Turkey over the summer, though the status of their relationship remained unclear.

Friends close to Annie say she is weighing her options and that her main focus is the well-being of her children.

 "All she really cares about is the kids and will do all she can to protect them," the source said.

Annie insists that she and Kyle are not back together but are merely trying to "navigate a way forward."

Walker, for his part, has expressed regret for his actions.

In a candid interview with earlier this year, the footballer admitted, "I have broken Annie’s heart," and acknowledged that his cheating had caused significant damage to their relationship. 

While he is reportedly eager to mend things, Annie Kilner remains determined to cash in on Walker’s cheating episodes that has been ongoing for five years, to overcome the deep fractures in their marriage.

With divorce still a looming possibility and Annie’s substantial financial demand now on the table, the future of their marriage remains uncertain.
