Annie Kilner has announced she is expecting a girl with her footballer husband Kyle Walker – adding to their brood of four boys.
Taking to Instagram on Thursday, the WAG, 33, wrote: ‘We’re delighted to be expecting our baby girl. I won’t be entertaining speculation or drama around such a personal, private and happy moment for me and my family!’
Annie and Kyle have told their sons – Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, Reign, five, and Rezon, 16 months – their new sibling will be arriving in the summer and the name will also begin with an R, but no final decision has been made as yet.
Earlier this month, the Daily Mail’s Katie Hind revealed Annie is due to give birth in June having announced her shock pregnancy to friends and family over Christmas.
Kyle also shares two love children, son Kairo, five, and Kinara, two, with Lauryn Goodman, with whom he had brief flings during rough times in his marriage.

Childhood sweethearts Kyle and Annie married in 2021 but their relationship hit the rocks in January 2024 after it was revealed that he was the father of Kinara.
The influencer controversially messaged Annie on Boxing Day 2023 to reveal she was expecting her second child with Kyle, who previously fathered Kairo during a brief break-up with Annie.
Her baby news is a sure-fire sign the couple have put their high-profile marriage problems behind them having been on the brink of divorce following Kyle’s romance and baby news with Lauryn .
News that Annie is expecting a baby girl is set to shock Lauryn – who has two children with the ex-Manchester City defender, including his only daughter.
A source told the Daily Mail that Annie desperately wanted a baby to ‘complete’ their family and help make their marriage stronger.
The insider added: ‘Kyle came back from Italy last year and since then Annie made it clear to him that she wanted her boys to have another baby sibling. She believes that a baby will help put all their troubles behind them.
‘Their family and close friends were shocked when they heard because there are still some issues between them. It’s a bit risky because sometimes, a new baby can add more pressure to a marriage. But everybody is very happy for them and doing all they can to support Annie.’
Kyle fled to Italy last year to spend the second half of the season with AC Milan in a bid to escape the saga surrounding himself and Lauryn.

He joined Serie A giants AC Milan but his spell with the seven-time Champions League winners failed to garner a permanent move, resulting in Kyle returning to the UK to join Premier League newcomers Burnley.
But playing in the North-West enabled Kyle to return to his lavish Cheshire mansion with Annie and their four boys and rekindle their relationship.
Lauryn has been accused of stoking her rift with both Annie and Karl on social media to keep the issue in the public eye and at one point, even claimed that she was moving to Italy to be closer to the footballer for the sake of the two children she shares with him.
The source revealed: ‘Annie and her close friends and family are bracing themselves for how Lauryn might respond to this.

‘But given how she’s conducted herself in the past, we fear that she’s not going to like it and it could get messy.’ In 2024 Lauryn lost her court battle with Kyle over how much money she should receive for their children.
Judge Edward Hess slammed her for ‘insatiable greed’ claiming she attempted to use the defender, who earns around £160,000 per week, as an ‘open ended cheque book’ and ‘repeatedly threatened him in order to get what she wanted’.
Her demands included a £31,000 Astro Turf, £30,000 for air conditioning, a £70,000 car allowance every three years, plus a car for the nanny and £150,000 annual child maintenance.
In his ruling the judge also slammed Lauryn for her Boxing Day message to Annie declaring: ‘This was intended to, and did, cause distress to the father’s wife (Annie).
‘I do not accept the mother’s explanation that this text message was sent in an attempt to create a good working relationship between the two women in the father’s life.’
