Does Kyle Walker have any children?
Kyle Walker has just welcomed a fourth child with his wife Annie Kilner, sources told The Sun.
The couple, who already share three sons - Riaan, Reign, and Roman - split in January but have remained in touch for the sake of their young family.
Insiders said Annie was “doing well” and that the Manchester City ace was over-the-moon about becoming a father again.

A source said that the 30-year-old mother and baby are both happy and healthy, but have not revealed a name as of yet.
They added: “Kyle couldn’t be happier and is so proud of Annie.
“It has not been an easy few months for them but Kyle is doing everything he can to support Annie.
“They are focusing on the baby now and are looking forward to introducing them to their three boys.
“It is a very special time and they are relishing every second.”
Kyle also has a son named Kairo with Lauryn Goodman who was born in April 2020.
Goodman had a brief relationship with the footballer in 2019.
They conceived the youngster during their time together, when Kyle temporarily split from Annie.
After Lauryn gave birth to Kyle's son, Annie said in 2020: "What he has done to me and our children is obscene."
Goodman welcomed a second child, a daughter, in 2023 but kept the identity of the baby's father a secret.

Lauryn then dropped hints that Kyle was the biological father of both her kids.
Many fans noticed that her Instagram bio reads: "Mummy to Kairo Walker and KW".
Following this, on January 15, 2024, Kyle was spotted meeting with his pregnant estranged wife.
In March 2024, Annie was seen watching Kyle as he was made England captain for the first time and took their three sons out on the pitch at Wembley following their game against Brazil.
However, in a bombshell interview with The Sun, Kyle had said he bitterly regretted hurting Annie and called her his soulmate.
He said that he had made “idiot choices and idiot decisions”, adding that “the only person to blame is me”.
“My actions have caused a lot of pain to a lot of people. I’m sorry because, as a family, this isn’t meant to happen,” he added.
Kyle is now father to six and said during his interview that he never believed his life would end up this way.
The pair had been childhood sweethearts, having met in their teens.
He said: “Football has been my life since I was six but my family comes before anything on this planet. At the moment, they’re hurting enormously.”
Who is Lauryn Goodman?
Lauryn Goodman, born on January 18, 1991, is an influencer, model and clothing brand owner.
She is the older sister of reality TV star Chloe Goodman, who appeared on shows including Celebrity Big Brother and MTV's Ex On The Beach.
Lauryn is an Instagram model and goes by the handle @lauryngoodman91.
She also founded and runs her own fashion brand — Nineteen Clothing.In September 2023 it was reported that Walker had bought a £2.5million seaside mansion for Goodman to live in with her two children.
Who has Kyle Walker dated?
Kyle met Annie when he was 18 years old, while he was playing for his hometown side Sheffield United.
She was 16 at the time and working as a model.
In May 2019 Annie dumped Kyle for allegedly having a number of romps with Ex On The Beach's Laura Brown.
Reality TV star Laura told a pal she and Kyle hooked up in his £200,000 Bentley 4x4.
Laura says she then messaged model Annie about their trysts.
She confided to a pal: "I felt Kyle had exploited me by using his power and wealth.
"Because he is a rich footballer he felt that he could treat me how he wanted.
"One night I just decided to do the decent thing and tell Annie what Kyle had been doing."
Laura told the pal she first met Kyle on a night out in Manchester in September 2018.
Laura then wrote to Annie, calling the player "a rat."
She said: "He was always funny and a nice guy to me but when I found out he was actually with u and kids I'm not that girl to keep seeing him I no (sic) you've been together (sic) long time but it's no excuse for him.'
When Annie demanded evidence, Laura forwarded a selfie sent to her by Kyle, which showed the star in his front room.
Upon discovering the two women had chatted online, Laura claims Kyle contacted her to say: “Messaged her, have you?”
As mentioned, Kyle also had a brief relationship with Lauryn Goodman in 2019 while he was separated from Annie.
Once they reconciled, Kyle and Annie got married after being together — aside from the odd separation — for 12 years.
They were wed in front of a handful of guests and a registrar at five-star Mottram Hall hotel in Cheshire at the end of November 2021.
