Annie Kilner is seen for the first time since welcoming her fourth son with husband Kyle Walker – after Lauryn Goodman made cruel dig at the couple

Annie Kilner has been seen for the first time since giving birth when she was spotted behind the wheel of her car in Cheshire on Wednesday.

The 30-year-old WAG welcomed her fourth son with husband Kyle Walker this weekend and the couple are reportedly ‘overjoyed’ to have expanded their family once again.

The past few months have been a rollercoaster for Annie, after she discovered in December – while pregnant – that her footballer husband had fathered a second child via Instagram influencer Lauryn Goodman.

Kyle has been living in a rental home far from the family home since January, but the couple has continued to co-parent and are doing their best to rebuild their marriage.

The pair already share sons Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, and Reign, five, and it is expected that the The whole family, including Annie and the newborn, can come and support him at the crucial moment Champions League match against Real Madrid on Wednesday evening.

As the family prepared for the game, Lauryn was seen looking tense after news of the birth earlier on Wednesday.

The TV personality, 33, stepped out in Sussex and looked tense as she took a call – while bizarrely holding another phone in her free hand.

She was dressed casually in a khaki sweater and purple leggings, accessorized with a baseball cap and colorful Nike sneakers.

Hours before she was on her cell phone for another reason: to take a thinly veiled swipe at her love rival Annie.

Lauryn shared on Instagram how “blessed” she felt to have a “perfect” family consisting of a son and a daughter.

She uploaded an image with the caption: ‘Sometimes a perfect family is just a mother and her children.’

She captioned the post: “One of each [pink heart, blue heart]. Their love for each other is perfect. Couldn’t be more blessed.

‘The little one has changed so much already and Kairo Walker is losing his baby characteristics as the school year approaches. Grown up so quickly! [sic]’

The post seemed to be a dig at Kylie and Annie’s baby news, after Annie found the stress of the past few months “very tough.”

A friend told The Ny Breaking’s Alison Boshoff that Annie feared the stress would take its toll on the baby and found the media attention during the latter stages of her pregnancy very difficult.

Interviews and social media posts that Lauryn gave at the time added to the drama and Annie’s sister Sian spoke of the “cruel” toll it had taken on her at the time.

The friend said: ‘The whole family is absolutely excited about the baby. It is a relief and a source of joy for them all. They want to move on with their lives from now on, away from the drama.

‘The baby arrived this weekend and we believe Kyle was with Annie at the hospital to support her, as was always planned. Kyle has been a very involved father, and a very good father, through everything that has happened.

‘He and Annie are working on their relationship and no one knows what the future will bring. They are not fully reconciled yet, he is still in his own place.

‘But they do want to send a message that they are united as a family. Annie will continue to support him and they both agree that their family is their priority.”

Last month, Kyle’s three sons ran to Wembley as mascots when England played Brazil and the whole family is expected to support Kyle at the European Championships this summer.

Lauryn had a brief fling with Kyle in 2019 before they had a son named Kairo the following year. He was conceived while Walker was temporarily separated from Annie and then his long-term girlfriend.

By November 2021, Annie and Kyle, who first started dating in college, were back together and married.

But in October 2022, he slept with Lauryn again while seeking treatment for a groin injury in London. In the summer of 2023, she had her second child – a daughter.

In an original interview that revealed the name of the father of her second child, Lauryn said she was the one who wanted everything to be public.

‘I didn’t want them [Kyle and Annie] to break up or cause harm, but it had to be made public for the sake of all of us,” she said at the time, explaining that she had FaceTimed Annie last December and got her to take the DNA test their daughter had shown.

Lauryn claimed that she and Kyle had been in a long relationship and that Kyle had led a double life by pitting the two women against each other.

Kyle’s response, in an interview with The Sun on Sunday, was to call Annie his soulmate and desperately ask for her forgiveness. He spoke sadly of ‘idiotic choices and idiotic decisions’.

He also claimed that he only slept with Lauryn twice, with both infidelities resulting in a baby. He said: ‘There was no relationship. That’s something Lauryn could never say.

‘We’ve never been out to dinner, we’ve never been to the cinema. To be in a relationship with someone… would she even know how much sugar I have in my coffee, if I have sugar? She couldn’t tell you.’

In his interview with The Sun, Kyle said: ‘Lauryn had me cornered from October when she told me about the second child.

“She was in a position of control where, if she asked me to jump, I would respond, ‘How high?’

“This was to meet the growing and unreasonable demands in exchange for not destroying my family.”

Kyle, who is injured, is said to be fully focused on his football ahead of his next match.
