Kyle Walker plays happy families with Annie Kilner after returning to UK! AC Milan loanee relaxes with wife as they work ‘through their issues’ after Lauryn Goodman affair saga

Divorce proceedings are said to have been "called off" despite England international Walker continuing to make unfortunate headlines after leaving Manchester City for a loan spell at AC Milan. He was recently pictured on a night out with two women the day after Kilner and their four children returned home from a trip to Italy.

The ladies in question are said to have been friends of Walker’s agent, with the incident in question being played down. A source has, however, told The Sun: “Annie was far from happy and made her feelings clear. Kyle denies anything went on and says he was asked to give the girls a lift. He's clearly put himself in a difficult situation given his reputation. It's the lack of thought for Annie and how it might look that has caused the upset.”

Despite having to explain more of his behaviour to Kilner – having already fathered two children with former Love Island contestant Lauryn Goodman – there is said to have been a “thawing of relations” in the Walker household.

The Sun has acquired pictures of Walker sitting in the back set of Kilner’s car during a visit to their family home in Cheshire. He also waved, smiled and a gave a thumbs-up to photographers after being spotted enjoying a relaxed afternoon with his partner.

While still “working through their issues”, Kilner has used her married name for the first time in a business venture – which is considered to be another nod towards patching things up with Walker. She does not always wear her wedding ring but is prepared to give her marriage a chance to make it through some testing times.
