Annie Kilner has reportedly filed for divorce from her footballer husband, Kyle Walker.
As reported by The Sun, 31-year-old Annie has served her childhood sweetheart Kyle with divorce papers, officially beginning legal proceedings to end their marriage.
Last week, reports surfaced that Kilner had "met with lawyers" to initiate the divorce process after giving Walker a £15 million ultimatum.
The 31-year-old, who married Walker in 2021, is said to have made the costly demand following his affair with influencer Lauryn Goodman.
The Manchester City player, who shares four children with Kilner, secretly fathered two children with Goodman. And now it is believed that Kilner has instructed lawyers to start legal proceedings, seeking half of the 34-year-old defender’s £27 million fortune.

A source has told The Sun: “Kyle was stunned when he got the papers.
“He’s spoken to Annie about them and they are discussing the next steps. This doesn’t necessarily mean they will divorce.
‘”This is as much Annie flexing her muscles as it is anything else. She wants Kyle to know she’s not messing about. But if this is a bluff, it may well back-fire.”
Meanwhile, MailOnline has reported that Walker received the divorce papers 10 days ago. However, he has since returned to the family home, where he is staying, though he is sleeping separately from Kilner in a room on the third floor.
An insider told the outlet: “Things are as bad between them as they have ever been. It wasn’t like a normal marriage. They have barely been speaking to each other.
“She is divorcing Kyle because she just can’t forgive him for what he’s done to her. She can’t get over it. She has tried.
