Annie Kilner wipes all traces of her husband Kyle Walker from her Instagram

Annie Kilner has wiped all traces of her husband Kyle Walker from her Instagram page after dumping the footballer.

Annie, 30, confirmed that she has split from her childhood sweetheart, 33, after a tumultuous two-year marriage in an Instagram post on Wednesday evening.

The Manchester City footballer is also believed to have moved out of their £2.4million mansion after the end of their 13-year relationship, during which they welcomed three children.

Following their split, Annie has removed all traces of Kyle from her Instagram page, with the right-back no longer featuring in any of her posts.

She now has less than 50 posts remaining on her Instagram, dating back to October 2018, mainly featuring glamorous shots of herself and smiling snaps with her friends.

However, she still follows Kyle on the social media platform, while Annie also appears in the footballer's list of followers.

Confirming their split, Annie said in an Instagram post: 'Sadly, after many years of marriage and three wonderful children together, I have decided to take some time away from Kyle.

'I do not wish to comment on the position any further. For now, I ask that the privacy of myself and my 3 young children be respected during this difficult time.'

The couple, who met as teenagers in Sheffield, secretly tied the knot in 2021. They share three children - Riaan, Roman and Reign.

Following their split, legal minds have told MailOnline that after a 13-year relationship including a two-year marriage, she could be entitled to half his £27million fortune.

Amid rumours she is already speaking to divorce lawyers about a settlement, Annie  is understood to have brought in her good friend Coleen Rooney's trusted PR advisor, Rachel Monk, who helped guide her through her the Wagatha Christie High Court battle with Rebekah Vardy.

Emma Gill - a top divorce lawyer based in Manchester, Regional Managing Partner at Vardags in the city where Kyle plays football - told MailOnline: 'One usually finds that players of Kyle Walker's calibre are surrounded by high-level intelligent advisors.

'One of those advisors should have advised him to enter into a prenuptial agreement in advance of his marriage. However, without a prenuptial agreement, everything is to play for.

'Because they are now married, the entire time they have been in a cohabiting relationship counts towards the length of their marriage.

'And that is important because it will sweep up more of his playing career and therefore she will share in a greater amount of the wealth that has been generated.'

Despite claims of Kyle's infidelity, she added: 'Cheating has never entitled the person who has been cheated on to more of a claim.'

Off the pitch, Annie always took back Kyle despite claims he was unfaithful, including with a reality star in the back of his £200,000 Bentley.

There were also allegations he held a sex party in lockdown with escorts and shared texts with a Playboy model while away with England. There was also a vehement Facebook denial eight years ago that he was in any way linked to an explicit and sickening video involving a woman.

After Kyle was caught on CCTV in a bar apparently flashing friends and fondling a mystery blonde woman's breasts last year, his wife famously posted on social media: 'No matter how good you are to people, it won't make them good to you.'

But it appears it was his on-off relationship with Lauryn Goodman that was the trigger for the split, after an alleged promise to Annie that he was no longer in contact with her was broken and he was kicked out of the family's £2.4million Cheshire mansion five months ago. MailOnline revealed that he is now in a Manchester penthouse.

Last month, it was claimed the couple had been having arguments about his involvement with Lauryn after embarking on a brief romance with the TV personality during a previous separation in 2019.

Kyle had a son, Kairo, three, with social media star Lauryn during a temporary split from Annie in February 2020. Despite being married to Annie, he reportedly bought Lauryn a £2.5million seaside mansion in Sussex last year.

Lauryn, 32 - who also has a daughter - has hinted heavily that Kyle is the father of both of her children, though she has never confirmed who the father of her second child is.

However, her daughter has the same initials 'KW' as her son, though she has also denied the father is 'another footballer'.

A source said at the time: 'Kyle and Annie have been arguing. She said she'd had enough because of all the ongoing stuff with Lauryn.

'There was another legal meeting involving her and Kyle this week. It's put a real strain on them.

'Annie has done nothing wrong apart from trust him. She wants to keep things together.'

Kyle then set the record straight and said he was still with Annie after legal meetings with Lauryn reportedly put a strain on their relationship.

He told The Sun outside the couple's Cheshire mansion: 'We haven't split. I'm here at my family home, aren't I?'

Kyle was accused of seeing Lauryn again by Annie in a series of bitter rows and he finally admitted he had renewed his friendship with her. This appears to have been the final straw for his wife.

He had apparently promised Annie never to see Lauryn again late last year and in an effort to appease his wife stopped following Lauryn on social media and blocked her, a source said.

But the Manchester City star was said to have met the son Kairo, three, he had with Lauryn.

The friend said: 'This break-up is extremely sad because Kyle and Annie, despite their previous problems and rows, had been doing their best to making a go of it.

'Things were getting better and they were going to try for a fourth child together to give their three sons another sibling. This is all very upsetting for Annie.'

Lauryn recently slammed Annie after she allegedly made a 'vindictive dig' at her son. The two women are no stranger to being at loggerheads over Kyle fathering Lauryn's child, with WAG Annie herself sharing three sons with the sportsman.

Annie and Kyle have had a complicated past and in 2019, they briefly split after he was caught in a cheating scandal.

At the time, he was dumped by the ex-glamour model after an alleged string of romps with reality TV star Laura Brown.

A friend of the Ex On The Beach star claimed Laura confessed to Annie about the supposed sexual encounters which happened in the back of Walker's £200,000 Bentley Bentayga.

Annie reportedly kicked Kyle out of their £3.5million mansion following the scandal before they later got back together.

An insider told the Sun that after Laura found out Kyle had a girlfriend, she wrote to her to say: 'He's a rat, he was always funny and a nice guy to me but when I found out he was actually with you and kids I'm not that girl to keep seeing him I know you've been together long time but it's no excuse for him.'

She told a friend at the time: 'I felt exploited. Because he's a rich footballer he felt that he could treat me how he wanted.'

Kyle met Annie when he was 18 while he was playing at his hometown club Sheffield United, when the glamour model was just 16.

It wasn't not the first time the couple's long-term romance was rocked by cheating claims.

During the Euro 2016, he was reportedly caught messaging Playboy model Carla Howe, while he was in France with the England team.

The text message exchange is said to have taken place before England's 1-1 draw with Russia in their opening group match, while he was at the team hotel in Chantilly.

The footballer first met the model at a party, where they reportedly exchanged numbers.

However, when she found out he had a partner and a child, a source told the newspaper that she stopped messaging him.

The friend said: 'She found out Kyle has a girlfriend so now ignores his messages as she doesn't want it to go any further with him.'
