Mum-of-four Annie Kilner wasn’t present in court as her barrister added a guilty plea on her behalf, with Kyle Walker’s wife being warned to ‘drive very carefully from now on’
WAG Annie Kilner has been fined £198 after police spotted her using a mobile phone while driving. The wife of footballer Kyle Walker has been accused of not being in control of a £70,000 Mercedes and now risks losing her licence if she makes any further driving errors.
She was stopped by police in Cheshire on July 8 last year as the charge states the driver was “in such a position that she could not have proper control of the car”. Her alleged offence came just months after she welcomed her fourth child with the footballer and two days before the England squad flew to Germany for the Euros.
Annie denied the driving charge in November and was due to appear at Chester magistrates court today. However, Annie – represented by ‘Mr Loophole’ Nick Freeman’s law firm – wasn’t present in court as her barrister entered a guilty plea on her behalf.
Her hearing will took place hours before Kyle plays for England at Wembley. The court slapped the mum-of-four with a £198 fine and added three penalty points to her driving licence after a short hearing.
It was revealed in court that Annie already has six points on her licence, half from exceeding a 30mph limit and the other half from a traffic signal offence.
Under the ‘totting up rules’, she risks a driving ban if she racks up 12 points. Jean Banford, chair of the bench, warned her barrister today: “She will have to drive very carefully from now on.” Annie was also ordered to pay £400 prosecution costs and a £79 victim surcharge, making a total payment of £677. She has 28 days to pay.
The 32-year-old was also charged with using a phone behind the wheel. However, that charge has been withdrawn. Annie and Kyle married in 2022 after a 12 year relationship, having met as teenagers in their hometown.
However, the pair have faced plenty of challenges during their time together. In January, the Mirror revealed that the couple had put their “divorce” on the back burner and were keen to focus on their marriage. It was said in October that Annie was allegedly fighting to get half of Kyle’s eye-watering £27 million fortune.
Annie’s world was rocked when she found out he had fathered a second child with influencer Lauryn Goodman. He first had a fling with the influencer while Kyle and Annie were on a break in 2019, which led to Lauryn falling pregnant with son Kairo.
Kyle and Annie quickly rekindled their relationship and appeared united, but it was revealed in January 2024 that he had been unfaithful with Lauryn, 34, and fathered her second child, daughter Kinara.
Drama struck again as Kyle is on loan from his home team Manchester City and is playing for Italian side AC Milan. Annie and the children have been making visits from the UK to support him. But earlier this month, just hours after his wife returned to Britain from visiting Kyle with their brood during the school holidays, he was spotted partying with two mystery women at one of the city’s top nightclubs Tocqueville 13 until 4am.
A source later cleared up any speculation, claiming that their relationship was purely platonic and that both women have long-term partners. The mum-of-four is standing by her man and the couple are giving their marriage another go.
Cheshire sources close to the couple revealed to the Mirror that any speculation that Annie was staying with Kyle for his finances are “nonsense.” “Any suggestion that Annie is staying with Kyle for financial benefit is absolute nonsense and pure speculation,” our source told us.
They went on to add: “The couple are still navigating their relationship behind the scenes but will always come together to be there for their children who they both absolutely adore.”
Annie has laid down some strict rules for Kyle, however. “Annie has decided she’s going to give it another go but he needs to realise he has to be incredibly careful because even the most innocent things can come back to bite him,” they claimed to OK!.
