Kyle Walker is reportedly pushing for a vow renewal with his wife Annie Kilner to rebuild their marriage after a turbulent year.
However, Lauryn Goodman, the mother of two of his children, has made it clear that she hopes the footballer remains faithful this time around.
Walker, 34, and Kilner, 32, have had a rocky marriage, with their relationship facing a major crisis in January 2024 when it was revealed that he had fathered a second child with influencer Lauryn Goodman. The revelation led to Kilner serving Walker with divorce papers in October. However, the couple later reunited and spent Christmas together, fueling speculation that they were working on their marriage.
While Kilner was recently spotted wearing her wedding ring again, doubts about their relationship resurfaced when she opted to celebrate a friend’s 40th birthday rather than travel to Italy with Walker for his move to AC Milan.
Insider tells heatworld that, the England international is eager to use the move as a fresh start and has been wearing his wedding ring during press conferences to show his commitment. "He has made it clear he is desperate for them to get back together and renew their vows," an insider revealed.
Kilner is reportedly planning to relocate with their four children—Roman (13), Riaan (9), Reign (6), and Rezon (9 months)—but will remain in Cheshire until schooling and living arrangements are finalized. The move is seen as a way to both work on their marriage and distance themselves from the ongoing drama with Goodman.
Meanwhile, Goodman has made it clear that she is focused on moving forward and is uninterested in Walker’s personal affairs. "She doesn’t have any strong feelings about Kyle wanting to renew his vows. The way she sees it is he broke his vows the first time, so she hopes he respects them a second time around," a source close to her stated.
Goodman, who shares Kairo (4) and Kinara (17 months) with Walker, has previously criticized his lack of involvement in their lives but remains hopeful for reconciliation. "I’m hopeful their dad will come back to them and continue to build his relationship with them," she said in an interview before Christmas.
While Kilner is open to working on her marriage, she is reportedly cautious about fully rekindling their romance. "She needs Kyle to prove he won’t be taken in by Lauryn again. While Annie is in no mood to think about getting romantic with Kyle again, she does want to work things out because they have four children together," a source explained.
Walker has reportedly promised Kilner that if they do renew their vows, she can have the dream wedding she always wanted. However, their future remains uncertain as past wounds still loom over their relationship.
