Kyle Walker and his wife Annie Kilner are said to have given a frosty reception as they attended a party at Wayne and Coleen’s country home in Cheshire over the Bank Holiday.
The couple, who recently welcomed their fourth son, are living together again but have faced turmoil since Lauryn Goodman revealed Kyle Walker is the father of both her children.
They spent time at Coleen and Wayne Rooney’s mega-mansion this weekend as they put the latest Lauryn scandal behind them.
The couple, who now have four sons, are said to have been ‘frosty’ with each other as the Rooneys hosted a Bank Holiday party for their footballer friends.
An insider said The sun: ‘Annie has let Kyle back into the family home, so of course they’re doing things as a family again.
Kyle Walker and his wife Annie Kilner are said to have given a frosty reception as they attended a party at Wayne and Coleen’s country home in Cheshire over the Bank Holiday.
The couple, who recently welcomed their fourth son, are living together again but have faced turmoil since Lauryn Goodman revealed Kyle Walker is the father of both her children.
‘But it’s not all going smoothly and there was clearly still some tension. Everyone let loose, laughed and had a few drinks, but it was clear that Kyle is still in the doghouse.
“There weren’t really sweet pigeons, but it’s a step in the right direction for them as a couple.”
It comes after it was reported that Kyle would consider leaving Manchester City and the Premier League in favor of a move to Saudi Arabia at the end of the season, according to The Sun.
The City star was in talks with Bayern Munich over a possible exit last year before signing a new contract extension that will keep him with the reigning Premier League and European champions until 2026.
The media storm focusing on his relationship could pave the way for a summer exit from European football and the City full-back is in talks with former team-mate Riyad Mahrez over a move to the Middle East.
Riyadh joined Saudi Pro League side Al Ahli after winning the Treble under Pep Guardiola and has provided Walker with expert guidance on life in the country.
He moved there last year with his wife Taylor Ward and their young daughter, with the former initially upset about leaving England in favor of Saudi Arabia.
Taylor later claimed she felt more comfortable after seeing that popular food chain Nandos had a branch in the country.
Should Kyle leave, he would be the highest-profile English player to move to the league, which continues its approach of attracting top talent by offering huge salaries.
Jordan Henderson left the Premier League for Saudi Arabia last year before returning to Europe with Ajax later in January.
Kyle is believed to be ‘very happy’ at City as they continue their quest for a record-breaking fourth consecutive Premier League title and prepare to take on derby rivals Man United in the FA for the second season in a row Cup final.
His wife, Annie, is also reportedly in favor of leaving England in search of a fresh start abroad, sources have reportedly told The Sun.
Discussions with Riyadh are said to have focused mainly on the various clubs in the Saudi Pro League and the lifestyle of foreign players moving to the oil-rich kingdom.
Kyle was delighted with the information he received from his former colleague and will weigh all available options after the season.
His departure would be a huge blow to Guardiola, who engineered a move from Tottenham to the Etihad in 2017 for an initial fee of £47m.
Kyle’s representative told MailOnline: ‘Kyle, like many footballers, has reconsidered his career after the promises of the Premier League and England. Talks about a move related to his future and are not something he is considering anytime soon. He is extremely proud to captain his club and play for his country.”
Meanwhile, MailOnline also revealed on Friday that Kyle has returned to the family home just four months after being kicked out by his wife.
At the time, Annie was heavily pregnant with their fourth child when she heard the shocking news about her husband’s infidelity. Kyle was told to pack his bags and leave their £3.5 million mansion in Prestbury, Cheshire.
He moved to a house nearby and was paying £20,000 a month rent when the couple’s marriage broke down.
But a source told MailOnline: ‘Kyle is now back living with Annie and the children as they try to put their difficulties behind them and get their marriage back on track.
‘She needs a lot of help at home and a lot of emotional support. Kyle is very happy to be back in the family home, but things are still very tense between them.’
The source added that Annie and Manchester City and England star Walker sleep in separate bedrooms, but he has been doing more household chores than before, such as running school and also tidying up.

The source said: ‘To say he needs to get back into Annie’s good books and is doing his best by making himself more useful around the house would be an understatement. But there are people in her circle who think she took him back too quickly.
‘But her hormones are out of whack and she’s decided it’s worth it to save their marriage. A lot of women wouldn’t have done this, but ultimately it’s her choice.’
Kyle continues to pay rent on the property he moved into after moving out of his parents’ home, even though he is never there.
Annie, 30, gave birth last month with the Manchester City and England footballer by her side.
The past few months have been a rollercoaster for Annie after she discovered her sportsman husband had fathered a second child with Lauryn in December last year, while Walker moved out a few weeks later in January.
Ahead of the arrival of their fourth child, who they plan to name Rezon, the couple also shares sons Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, and Reign, five.
