Annie Kilner put on a brave face when she was spotted in Wilmslow on Monday.
The 32-year-old WAG recently allowed Kyle to move back in with the family as the two attempt to repair their relationship.
And the mother of four looked relaxed and calm as she wore a casual black zip-up hoodie and a tracksuit as she walked to her car.
Annie wore her dark locks in a messy bun, appeared to be makeup-free and seemed undeterred by Lauryn Goodman’s recent decision to share the blunt text she sent Annie last December.
Lauryn posted a screenshot on Instagram on Monday of the full text she sent to Annie on Dec. 27, in which she revealed that Kyle Walker was the father of her daughter.

In a paternity scandal that has dominated headlines since the beginning of the year, Lauryn told Annie that Kyle was the father of her second child, Kinara, and older boy Kairo.
Annie, who was pregnant at the time, was very upset and threw Kyle out of the marital home.
The text she shared with her 246,000 followers on Instagram, read: “Hey, I’m Lauryn. I just wanted to quickly tell you that Kyle is the father of our daughter. He has a relationship with all of us, including the baby, and I have everything to prove it. He’s been a part of our lives by seeing the kids [sic].
Lauryn continued, “I wanted to have the decency to tell you. If you want to talk more, we can, but he’s lied to both of us. He doesn’t want us to talk.
“He will gaslight you by saying why didn’t she come out knowing we have a legal agreement at this point. He will probably say I’m an idiot or obsessed with making you believe him. All his boys knew from the beginning so don’t trust them. I’m sorry.
“I need to protect myself legally. If you ever want to talk to me again to see evidence etc. unblock me on Instagram so I know to call you.
‘Or [redacted] could always show you personally. This is not a joke or a joke. Think back to all your messages. Your messages in March with him, how weird he was acting before the World Cup.’
Meanwhile, Kyle has returned to the parental home as fRiends revealed that the 34-year-old English right-back has been living at home in Prestbury, Cheshire, for the past three weeks.

Meanwhile, Kyle has returned to the family home as friends revealed the 34-year-old England right-back has been living at home in Prestbury, Cheshire, for the past three weeks.
A source close to Kyle told the mirror: ‘Kyle is happy to be back home with his family. There is a lot of work to be done on all sides, but the boys are their priority and although they work on things like adults, they come first.
“Things are looking positive after an incredibly stressful nine months, but hopefully a brighter future lies ahead. Annie is tough and very protective of her four boys, she will do everything she can to protect them from the situation.”
Kyle was present at the birth of Rezon, their fourth son, but they spent the summer apart, with Kyle in an apartment in Manchester.
Lauryn, who currently stars on Celebs Go Dating, has taken advantage of the situation by making a number of media appearances, including taking their son Kairo to watch his father compete at the European Championships in the summer.
During an episode of the Channel 4 dating show last week, Lauryn admitted she feels like she’s “constantly fighting for her kids” and that everything is always “her fault”.

While Kyle and Annie both suspect that Goodman ultimately just wants to end their marriage, there are signs that they are back on track, away from the public eye.
A friend said, “They both really want to do something about it. Their family is the center of both their lives.
“They’re not sure at this point if they can fix it, but they want to give it the best chance to work. The first step in that is getting him back in the house.
“They don’t want the kids to come from a broken home and they’ve been together since they were 16, so they’re each other’s world. Annie is very protective of the boys and doesn’t want to get divorced. Kyle wants to be home with Annie and the kids.
“They’re not back together in the sense that all is forgiven and forgotten, but they’re physically living in the same place and trying to find a way through it all.”
The source added: ‘Before this he would go to the house every night to be there for bedtime with the kids, so this isn’t radically different in some ways, but it does feel like a significant step. It would be a stretch to say he and Annie have resolved their issues because there’s still a lot to do.’
