Kyle Walker and Annie Kilner make final decision on marriage after 'divorce' plans

Kyle Walker and his wife Annie Kilner are said to have put a halt on their ongoing divorce conversations after his cheating but the Mirror can now reveal what's really happening

Kyle Walker and Annie Kilner have made a huge decision about their future.

Last year, Annie is said to have met with lawyers to nail through the details of their marriage and any possible outcome on finances and split custody should they go ahead and officially split. It was said in October that Annie was allegedly fighting to get half of Kyle's eye-watering £27 million fortune.

The Sheffield-born defender, 34, is rumoured to be weighing up the possibility of signing for a deal and moving to Saudi Arabia. In light of the discussions, reports claimed that Annie, 33, was pausing their divorce proceedings. Friends of the former model claim that the "life-changing" deal in terms of signing a contract for a huge sum of money have not been the reasoning behind Annie's decision.

But the Mirror can now reveal the truth behind what is going on behind closed doors at their Prestbury, Cheshire, mansion. Cheshire sources close to the couple have revealed to the Mirror that any speculation that Annie was staying with Kyle for his finances are "nonsense." Reports earlier this week claimed that Annie was pausing their ongoing matters given the discussions surrounding Kyle moving to Saudi, where he could make in excess of £400,000 per week.

"Any suggestion that Annie is staying with Kyle for financial benefit is absolute nonsense and pure speculation," our source told us. They went on to add: "The couple are still navigating their relationship behind the scenes but will always come together to be there for their children who they both absolutely adore.

"They enjoyed a family Christmas together and are looking ahead to the new year to see what may be on the horizon," stating that their romance may be on for good. Over the Christmas period, they put on a united front with both Kyle and Annie proudly posing alongside their four children, Roman, 12, Riaan, eight, Reign, six and Rezon, five months as they enjoyed the holidays together.

Throughout the festive holidays, the couple put Kyle's infidelity to the back of their minds, one year on after Lauryn Goodman revealed to Annie on December 27 that he was the father of her daughter, Kinara. Goodman, who recently appeared on Celebs Go Dating told Annie that she wanted to have the "decency" to speak to her personally, explaining that she was open to conversation as Kyle had been lying to them both.

Annie and Kyle attempted to give their marriage another go following a brief separation when the defender moved out of their Prestbury home. He later acknowledged his wrongdoing, stating he made a "horrible" mistake before adding: "I take full responsibility." However, she consulted divorce lawyers in October.

At the time, insiders said that while Annie married Kyle for love, she also had to do it to "secure a financial windfall for herself and their children." Sources have previously told the Mirror that Annie was seeking advice from fellow WAGs on the Cheshire scene following the drama she has endured while dating and being married to Kyle.

But just months before, the Mirror revealed that they were looking forward to the future and were planning to put Kyle's cheating behind them. Speaking previously to the Mirror, a source said: "Annie and Kyle are looking forward to a resolution of the whole situation and hope that this latest chapter brings them just that."

The Mirror has approached representatives for Kyle and Annie.
