Kyle Walker and his estranged wife Annie Kilner pose in unison for a family photo with their four children in matching pajamas as The Story of Lauryn Goodman blares.

Kyle Walker and Annie Kilner made a very public statement as they ushered in the new year together, but is all is forgiven or are they just putting up a united front? Or?

In an Instagram update, the couple can be seen wearing matching pajamas with their sons Roman, 12, Ryan, 8, Reign, 6, and 5-month-old Raison. Ta.

Kyle shared a new snap to his stories on Sunday, writing: “Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.”

The England international and Manchester City star, 34, revealed on December 27 last year that he was kicked out of his parents’ home after secretly fathering his second child with ex-Lauren Goodman, 33. I told my old Annie.

His estranged wife filed for divorce in October, and if she goes ahead with the divorce, he will face an intense battle over his £27 million fortune.

But the couple appear to have put their £15million battle aside for the time being to spend Christmas and New Year together as a family.

Kyle and Annie have four children together, including son Cairo, 4, and daughter Kinara, 18 months, with Lauryn.

A fellow footballer WAG close to the family told MailOnline last month: “Kyle and Annie have put their marital issues aside and are celebrating Christmas with their children.”

“They want to be able to bring Christmas joy into the home for their young families, which is their priority.”

“This requires both parents to be there. While Annie takes care of the family, Kyle is really focused on his four sons and they love him.

“There are ongoing discussions between us about what the future holds, but for now it’s all about the kids and what’s best for them.”

“Annie is a strong woman who just wants to see her sons happy. She’ll do anything for them, but she doesn’t forget what Kyle did for her.” This is about the kids, and the kids. That’s all. ”

Meanwhile, Lauryn revealed that the football ace hasn’t received any Christmas presents for his children Cairo and Kinara.

The reality star also attacked Annie by reposting a message from a fan branding Kyle’s estranged wife a “ball and chain.”

In an Instagram Q&A, she was asked, “Was ‘that’ trying to buy the kids Christmas presents or even cards, or are balls and chains not allowed?”

Lauryn replied, “You said so…”

Just hours later, on Monday, Annie reflected on 2024 and shared her “biggest blessing” on Instagram.

Earlier this year, the WAG uploaded a sweet photo of her cradling her newborn baby Reson, who was sleeping on her chest in bed.

She simply wrote, “The greatest blessing has joined us in 2024.”

The incident comes as Kyle claims that Lauryn is using her name to stay in the spotlight, so she hopes Lauryn will stop “teasing” him on social media in the new year. It happened while I was there.

The footballer appears to have hit back amid backlash after it was revealed he did not give his two children a Christmas present this year.

Although the soccer players did not give gifts to Cairo and Kinara, Kyle is committed to supporting them financially.

A source told MailOnline: “Kyle has never attended any of the children’s celebrations or brought gifts, apart from giving Cairo a coat a few years ago.”

“The latest article appears to be Lauryn using her name to stay in the spotlight.”

She added: “Although he is not involved in the daily lives of Ms. Lauryn’s children, he provides financial support for them, including housing and school expenses.”

“Kyle and Annie want to forget everything in 2025 and move on without drama. They hope Lauryn will do the same instead of trolling them on social media. I want it.”

A source close to Lauryn added: “Lauryn continues to live her life making sure that her children are protected, even though this has been difficult for her children, especially Cairo, who is looking for a father.”

“It’s really sad that he doesn’t step up for all of his kids. You’d think he would have learned his lesson from not doing that in the first round.”

Lauryn shared a heartwarming photo of her children enjoying a pile of presents for Christmas.

The reality star posted an image on Instagram of her children Cairo and Kinara approaching a Christmas tree surrounded by piles of presents.

She wrote: “Merry Christmas everyone. What a great day with your babies. It’s all about making memories.

“@kairowalker had me build a new goal outside. @kinarawalker skipped a nap because there was too much going on to miss anything.

“I don’t know why, but it’s still early… and I’m completely devastated, even more than usual. Is there anyone else?

She also added that she knew Christmas was lonely for some people, so she sent her love.

Lauryn did not comment further on Kyle’s lack of donations, but she focused on creating a celebratory atmosphere for her children and shared snippets of the celebration with her followers.

Annie kicked Kyle out of the couple’s home in January after learning he had fathered his second child, daughter Kinara, with influencer Lauryn.

She allowed him to attend the birth of their fourth son, Raison, this spring, and after a happy summer vacation as a family, they moved back in together in September.

Kyle spent Christmas Day at home with his children, but the couple hasn’t completely reconciled.

A source said, “It has been a difficult road and there have been ups and downs.” At this point, I don’t know if a complete reconciliation will be possible.

“The ultimate goal is for the kids to be okay. They don’t know if they can make it as a couple.”

The source added, “While they are separated, they said they will continue to be united for the sake of their children.” Their divorce is pending and they are still discussing what the next year will look like for them. They continue to live together.

“Despite everything that’s been thrown at them, not just Lauryn, they’re moving forward amicably. It hasn’t been easy, for a variety of reasons. But they’ve been a couple for 17 years, so a lot There is a history of

“Kyle obviously has his flaws, but he’s a very dedicated father and the kids are young. They have a lot of respect for each other as parents.”

Annie, seeking financial security, applied for divorce and a share in Walker’s £27 million estate.

However, it is understood that she has not yet taken legal steps to dissolve the marriage.

She may choose a “divorce without partition.” This would allow them to continue living together and as co-parents, but would provide her with a financial settlement.

Kyle and Lauryn had a son, Cairo, in 2020 after an affair, and a daughter, Kinara, was born in 2023 after Kyle and Lauryn met at a lawyer’s office to discuss child support. It appears that he has not been able to contact his children.

“What I did was terrible and I take full responsibility,” he said in an interview days after the paternity scandal broke.

In June, Annie took her children to Germany to watch Walker and his England teammates at the Euros. After losing in the final against Spain, he went to court in a showdown over money with Rollin.

The judge accused Lauryn of using her desperation to keep her second child a secret as “leverage” to get what she wanted.

He also found that Lauryn was not a reliable witness and that her demands for a space lawn, a gardener, and a new car for the nanny were excessive.

Annie is shocked at how much money has been spent trying to make Lauryn happy.
