A spokesperson told MailOnline: ‘They’ve been friends for years and there’s certainly no romantic connection.’ 

But followers who liked the photo were quick to jump to conclusions.

One wrote:’ Now if I didn’t know you, I’d be congratulating you on bagging the hottest wife of the century, but I do so congrats on bagging the hottest pic of the century instead.’

Another said: ‘The Queen deserves a King. Please treat her right she deserves the world and more.’

The pair attended a lavish black-tie ceremony at a villa overlooking Lake Como in Italy.

It was held on July 5, the day before England played Switzerland in the Quarter Finals of the Euro 24 tournament.

The wedding meant that Kilner, 33, raced to the stands to cheer on her errant husband as England progressed to the semi-final after beating the Swiss on penalties.

Other WAGS who had travelled to Germany noticed her absence but were unaware she was attending the three days of celebrations.

The couple separated last December after Walker was revealed to have fathered a second child with Goodman who texted Annie to reveal the news.

Goodman and Walker faced off in court in the summer as they attempted to agree on child support payments.

The 33 year old made a number of expensive childcare requests, including a £33,000 air conditioning unit and £31,000 astro turf for her West Sussex home that Walker had bought for her.

A judge slammed some of her demands saying they were excessive, including child maintenance of £177,000 a year.

Judge Edward Hess dismissed many of her demands, claiming that Ms Goodman was “not reliable” and “often exaggerated her need to spend money”.
