Kyle Walker has welcomed his seventh child into the world with wife Annie Kilner. Close friends have confirmed the news, revealing the newborn arrived yesterday and is both “happy and healthy.”
Former England right-back Kyle, 35, was by his wife’s side and supported Annie, 33, throughout the birth. The new arrival marks a significant landmark for the childhood sweethearts, as she is the couple’s very first daughter.
They already share four sons together – Roman, 13, Riaan, 10, eight-year-old Reign and two-year-old Rezon. An insider opened up about the family’s joy, telling The Sun: “Kyle and Annie are proud parents again and are besotted with their little girl. Annie was a superstar and Kyle couldn’t be more proud of her. They’re all on cloud nine.”
Annie had previously delighted fans by confirming she was pregnant with their fifth child together earlier this year.
According to pals, the pregnancy brought the couple closer than ever, with a source adding: “The pregnancy brought them so much joy but now their daughter is here, their little family feels complete.
“The boys are thrilled. Annie is a devoted mum. For her and Kyle this baby feels very much like it was meant to be.”
The Manchester City defender also shares a son and a daughter with Lauryn Goodman. The happy family news follows a massive career shift for Walker, who officially announced his retirement from international football in March.
Currently playing his club football at Burnley, Kyle racked up an impressive 96 caps for the Three Lions. His international journey began all the way back in 2011, making his debut against Spain at just 21 years old.
The reliable defender went on to feature in 24 matches across five major tournaments, spanning from Euro 2016 through to Euro 2024.
Reflecting on his decision to hang up his England boots, Kyle previously said: “Playing for England has always been the greatest honour of my career. Every time I pulled on the shirt it meant a huge amount to me and my family.
“After a lot of thought, this feels like the right moment to step away and allow the next generation of players to come through.”
