Annie Kilner pregnant with fifth child as Kyle Walker works on marriage

Annie Kilner is expecting her fifth child with Burnley defender Kyle Walker. The couple, childhood sweethearts who married in 2021, already have four boys — Roman, 11, Riaan, 7, Reign, 5, and Rezon, 1 — and legal proceedings over an official uncoupling were opened in 2024, though bridges have been partially rebuilt.

Kilner has told family and friends about the pregnancy and believes another baby will help strengthen their marriage; the new sibling is also expected to receive a name beginning with R. Walker returned from a loan spell in Italy with AC Milan amid intense media attention and has been putting work into reuniting with Kilner.

Their family and close friends were shocked when they heard, with some noting a new baby can add pressure, but many are reportedly offering support. The couple’s difficulties followed revelations that Walker had allegedly fathered children with Lauryn Goodman. News of that secret love child emerged during Kilner’s pregnancy with Rezon and caused her significant stress.
