Annie Kilner has reportedly ‘met with lawyers’ to discuss legal proceedings to end her marriage to Kyle Walker, after allegedly giving her husband a ‘£15million ultimatum’.
The WAG, 33, who wed childhood sweetheart Kyle in 2021, is said to have given the footballer a costly proposition following his multiple cheating antics.
Kyle, 34, has been involved in a paternity scandal after he secretly fathered two children with influencer Lauryn Goodman.
Standing her ground, Annie is reportedly only giving their marriage another shot if there is an agreement in place to share £27million fortune.
The mother-of-four is said to have obtained preliminary legal advice ahead of a split which could see her bag half of the £150,000-a-week star’s fortune.
Now, sources have said Annie has ‘secretly’ taken the first step to discuss a divorce, but no final decision has yet been taken.

One insider told The Sun: ‘Annie is prepared to go through with it.
‘She isn’t messing about and has spoken to lawyers about what the future looks like.
‘Divorce has been an ever-present threat all year but things are starting to come to a head.’
MailOnline has contacted Annie’s representatives for comment.
Annie and Kyle have spent the past year battling to save their shattered relationship.
The couple share Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, Reign, five, and five-month-old baby Rezon, while he also has 13-month-old Kinara and, Kairo, four, with Lauryn.
Earlier this week, it was reported Annie is facing accusations that she ‘married Kyle to secure a financial windfall’ after the footballer’s multiple cheating scandals.
She is said to have been ‘formulating a get-out plan out of the relationship’ since 2019.
Kyle had an alleged string of romps with reality TV star, Laura Brown in May 2019, as well as his affairs with Lauryn, 33.
Kyle became embroiled in a paternity scandal and courtroom showdown with the model earlier this year when the news came to light.

Speaking to The Sun a source revealed: ‘Annie married Kyle for love, but she also knew in her heart of hearts she had to do it to secure a financial windfall for herself and their children.
‘She has been formulating a get-out plan for some time in terms of finances. Annie is actually very astute and is no one’s fool.
‘People may assume she is a doormat, but Annie is clever and she was aware that she’d need to marry Kyle to have access to his money.’
The source told of how some of Annie’s WAG friends advised her to leave him back in 2019, but others suggested she should marry him to ‘secure herself’ in case he cheated again.
A source added to MailOnline: ‘Annie and Kyle are living together, working through their marital problems and trying to establish a new routine.
‘They are both open to conversations around financial security for Annie and the boys and will always protect the children under any circumstances.’
Kyle met Annie when he was 18 while he was playing at his hometown club Sheffield United when the model was just 16.
Annie said previously: ‘When we started going out it was love at first sight.’
But after nine years together, they split briefly in May 2019 after Kyle’s alleged string of romps with reality TV star, Laura.

It was reported at the time Ex On The Beach star Laura confessed to Annie about the supposed sexual encounters which happened in the back of Kyle’s £200,000 Bentley Bentayga.
Annie reportedly kicked Kyle out of their £3.5million mansion following the scandal but the couple reunited months later.
There were also allegations he held a sex party in lockdown with escorts and shared texts with a Playboy model while on England duty in France.
Kyle fathered Lauryn’s four-year-old son Kairo while on a break with Annie, but the pair managed to patch up their relationship at the time.
However, earlier this year he was also revealed to be the feather of Lauryn’s 13-month-old daughter Kinara – she told Annie in a bombshell text message at Christmas that the baby was her husband’s.
Elsewhere, Annie is embroiled in a furious row with her younger sister after she gave birth to a baby boy conceived during a secret fling with a father-of-four, MailOnline revealed.
Devastated Annie has accused her sister Sian of ‘doing a Lauryn Goodman‘ and doing to another woman what was done to her by getting involved with a man who was still with his partner and their young children.

The sisters have had a number of heated exchanges in recent months over Sian’s affair and Annie refused to attend hospital last week when she gave birth. She has still not seen the baby.
Sian admitted to MailOnline: ‘This is a sensitive situation for Annie, she absolutely doesn’t condone my behaviour and is appalled at the upset it may cause.
‘I sincerely apologise for any pain I have caused to the families involved, including my own.
Sian, 26 revealed that that she intends to raise her baby alone and that the father will not be involved. MailOnline understands that his partner is unaware of the child.
A source said: ‘Annie is still in a lot of pain over what’s gone on in her marriage. She was shocked to discover what Sian was doing after what she went through. She doesn’t condone her actions and has made this clear to her.
‘Things are tense between them. Annie and Kyle are finally through a brick wall after seven months of trying to work things out and this news about Sian has shocked her to the core.’
The source revealed that Kyle has also waded into the row between the sisters, accusing Sian of being a ‘hypocrite’ while also refusing to speak to her.

The source added: ‘Sian sent vile messages to Kyle calling him every name under the sun when she found about him and Lauryn. Now he feels that she had no right to have a go at him in that way and be so vicious. He doesn’t want anything to do with her.
‘This situation has also not helped things between Annie and Kyle. Every time they have an argument about his cheating, he just says to her: ‘Look what’s gone on in your own family before you have a go at me.’ Sian’s behaviour has caused them even more problems.’
Sian previously worked as a nail technician in a salon in Sheffield but quit shortly before giving birth. The father of Sian’s child is from Sheffield.
Ironically, Sian has angrily taken to social media in the past to slam Lauryn for her affair with Kyle.
