Annie Kilner, the wife of Manchester City footballer Kyle Walker, has reportedly paused divorce plans as speculation rises about Walker’s potential move to Saudi Arabia.
The 34-year-old player is rumored to be in talks for a lucrative £400,000-a-week contract with Saudi clubs, including Al Nassr, where Cristiano Ronaldo plays as captain.
Last year, Annie explored legal options concerning their marriage, financial arrangements, and custody of their children. In October, reports surfaced that she sought half of Walker’s £27 million fortune as part of potential divorce proceedings.
However, recent developments suggest the couple is now focusing on family unity. A source revealed to The Sun: “Annie always puts the children first but has to think about herself too. Financial security is essential, and Kyle has assured her she’ll never need to worry, regardless of what happens.”
The couple, who started their relationship as teenagers, faced significant challenges after Walker admitted to infidelity, calling it a “horrible mistake.”
Despite consulting divorce lawyers, Annie and Kyle reconciled during the Christmas holidays, sharing moments with their four children: Roman, 12, Riaan, 8, Reign, 6, and Rezon, 5 months.
While some believe Annie’s decision to pause the divorce may relate to Walker’s potential Saudi deal, insiders close to the family emphasize her focus on their future.
