Annie Kilner shuts down 'romance' claims with mystery man as fans gush over 'King and Queen'

Social media was set alight after Annie Kilner happily posed with a long-term friend and jokingly placed a kiss on his cheek as fans branded them 'King and Queen'

Annie Kilner's new "romance" claims with a long-term friend have been shut down.

The model and wife of Manchester City ace Kyle Walker attended the wedding of her friend Taylor Ward and Kyle's former teammate Riyad Mahrez over the summer and happily posed with her nearest and dearest. However, her husband Kyle, 34, did not attend the wedding due to his football commitments, playing Switzerland in the Quarter Finals of the Euro 2024 tournament on July 5.

But while relaxing after the ceremony, Annie and her friends found the perfect opportunity to get their holiday snaps in, in front of a stunning lake and mountain backdrop. One set of images though, sparked speculation that Annie, who is married to Kyle, had found romance again.

Businessman Tunde Ogunsina shared a string of pictures of himself and Annie to his Instagram which instantly sparked a reaction amongst both of their followers. In the snaps, the long-term friends can be seen posing and smiling with one another with Annie playfully planting a kiss on the PR guru's cheek.

Meanwhile, a source close to the friends told the Mirror: "Annie and Tunde have been friends for longer than they can remember, there's certainly nothing romantic between them for obvious reasons. Annie is still married to Kyle, the father of her four children and Tunde has made it clear in the past they are just friends."

"The hardest launch you ever did see," Tunde captioned his post which has been liked over 1,000 times. His comment section soon sparked up, with one follower writing: "Why you trying to break bare hearts?" A second added: "This Queen deserves a King. Please treat her right, she deserves the world and more." A third joked: "You gotta stop catfishing us with wife content though this is the second time you almost got me!"

The speculation comes after Annie allegedly filed divorce papers, with Kyle also reportedly meeting with his own legal representatives following his infidelity. Loyal Annie had taken the footballer back after his first affair, but struggled to keep up appearances after he went behind her back for a second time with Lauryn. Annie discovered Lauryn's second child was her husband after she was sent a devastating text on December 27, while she was pregnant with her fourth baby with the defender. In the message, Lauryn said: "Hey it's Lauryn. I just wanted to quickly tell you that Kyle is the father of our daughter." Shortly after Goodman confirmed the paternity of Kinara, one, Annie and Kyle briefly separated. Lauryn fell pregnant with her daughter after a brief romp with Kyle when he was in London for surgery.

Now, sources claim it is finally over for the couple who met while at school and Annie isn't holding back as she's gearing her lawyers to allegedly for fight for half of Kyle's whopping £27 million fortune. Reports claim that Kyle and Annie are no longer on speaking terms and the England national team vice captain has also instructed his own legal aids. It's believed that Kyle was served the papers by Annie ten days ago and has been sleeping separately from his wife for a number of days, despite being in the same home.
