Annie Kilner wows in a semi-sheer red dress as she shares fun snaps from her girls’ night out at Christmas party amid divorce battle with Kyle Walker

Annie Kilner took to Instagram on Wednesday to share sweet snaps from Julie Perry’s Christmas party amid her divorce battle with Kyle Walker.

The 32-year-old WAG instructed lawyers last month to begin legal proceedings as she prepared to battle for half of the Manchester City defender’s £27million fortune.

The couple split last December after it was revealed that Kyle, 34, had fathered his second child with Lauryn Goodman, who texted Annie to reveal the news.

But Annie didn’t let the divorce dampen her spirits as she dressed to the nines for a fun girls’ night out at Julie Perry’s Christmas party at The Lowry Hotel in Manchester last week.

In the snap, the former model showed off her enviable physique in a semi-sheer ruby ​​red dress as she entered the venue.

Meanwhile, in another snap, Annie struck a sultry pose as she posed for a snap with her glamorous friends among the lavish Christmas decorations.

During the event, the influencer also enjoyed a sit-down meal and was treated to a goody bag filled with beauty goodies.

Later that evening, Annie took to the dance floor wearing a white cowboy hat with a sequin embellishment on the brim.

Meanwhile, the beauty showed off her flawless makeup look in the snap as she took a sweet selfie with a friend.

Annie has filed for divorce from her footballer husband Kyle because she “just can’t forgive him for what he did to her.”

The Manchester City captain fathered two children with Lauryn, Kairo, four, and Kinara, 14 months.

Annie and Kyle are parents to four sons together: Roman, 12, Riaan, eight, Reign, six, and six-month-old Rezon.

The childhood sweethearts met as teenagers in Sheffield, but the sports star has been embroiled in a series of scandals over the years.

After Annie began legal proceedings for divorce, a source told MailOnline: ‘Things are as bad between them as they have ever been. It wasn’t a normal marriage.’

‘They hardly spoke to each other. She divorces Kyle because she just can’t forgive him for what he did to her. She can’t get over it. She tried.’

“Kyle seems to have accepted that it’s over. He has been happier in the last week. As if the weight of the world has fallen from his shoulders.’

The footballer had already been kicked out of his shared home by Annie when Lauryn first revealed she was expecting his baby.

But the couple stayed together and married at Mottram Hall in Cheshire in November 2021 after he proposed with a £250,000 ring.

However, Kyle cheated on Annie again with Lauryn, who became pregnant with their second child – a girl named Kinara who was born last June.

In December, Lauryn texted Annie saying, “Hey, it’s Lauryn. I just wanted to quickly tell you that Kyle is the father of our daughter.”

Annie, who was pregnant with their fourth son at the time, confirmed they had split two weeks later – and Kyle moved into a rented country house near their shared home as he tried to repair their relationship.

He told it The sun at the time: ‘What I did is terrible and I take full responsibility. I made crazy choices and crazy decisions.”

In July, Kyle was praised by a judge for being “sensible, honest and trustworthy” during the family court battle with Lauryn over child support payments.

Lauryn asked the court to order that Kyle pay £14,750 a month in ‘global’ child support for the couple’s two children, as well as tens of thousands for cars, furniture and property maintenance and other costs such as childcare costs.

The sports star opposed some of the demands or argued that they should be reduced. He told the court he was not an ‘open chequebook’ despite earning between £3million and £5million a year.

In his ruling, Judge Edward Hess rejected many of Lauryn’s claims, concluding that she was “not trustworthy” while maintaining that Kyle “acted with dignity and generosity.”

The court heard Lauryn started her legal claim two days after Kinara was born.

Her demands include that Kyle pay for the maintenance of a hydro pool, a gardener at £28 an hour, a car worth up to £70,000 every three years and air conditioning costing around £33,000.

In court, Lauryn justified the need for a £31,200 artificial pitch by claiming Kinara kicked a ball from a crawling position, which could make her a future England footballer, adding: ‘The lionesses are better than the lions.’

But the judge rejected the claim, describing her reasoning as an ‘unjustified leap of evidence’.

Kyle was ordered to pay £12,500 a month in child support – an amount he had offered before the hearing began – and a sum of £5,000 for furniture, compared to Goodman’s initial demand of £20,000.

The England player also had to pay £30,000 for a car to be used by a nanny and other fees.
