KYLE Walker has reportedly been welcomed back home by Annie Kilner after they split following the Lauryn Goodman scandal.
The couple, who now have four sons, took time apart in January after it was revealed Walker had a second child with model Lauryn Goodman, 33.
The Manchester City defender, 33, relocated to a home close by, paying £20,000 per month rent as the couple's marriage hit the rocks.
But the Prem ace has since returned to live in the £3.5million family home in Cheshire four months later, according to one source.
And it is claimed that the pair are trying to "get their marriage back on track" after Kyle's infidelity.

A source told MailOnline: "Kyle is now living back with the Annie and the kids as they try and put their difficulties behind them and get their marriage back on track.
"She needs a lot of help around the house and a lot of emotional support. Kyle's very happy that he's back in the family home but things are still very strained between them."
The source added that Man City and England star Walker has been doing more household chores than previously, such as the school run and also tidying up
The Sun revealed in January that Annie had kicked Kyle out of the family’s £3.5million home in Cheshire.
But Annie, 30, gave birth last month with the England footballer right by her side.
Since her latest childbirth, Annie who's already mum to Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, and Reign, five, is said to be “doing well”.
The source added: "It would be an understatement to say that he needs to get back into Annie's good books and he's doing his best by making himself more useful around the house.
"But there are people within her circle who feel that she's taken him back too quickly.
"But her hormones are all over the place and she's decided that its worth putting in the effort to save their marriage. A lot of women wouldn't have done this but at the end of the day, it's her choice."
Their split came after Lauryn revealed Kyle was the father of her young son and daughter.

However, more recently pals said Annie was keen for Kyle to remain a stable fixture in their young family’s life.
Friends of the England and City ace said he “couldn’t be happier” after Annie gave birth to their fourth son together last month.
It comes after speculation that Walker could change clubs and move abroad with his family in the future.
FUTURE PLANS
Kyle, who is expected to play for England in the Euros in Germany this summer, is said to be “very happy” at title-challengers City.
But pals say he is “exploring all options further down the line” in the wake of the frenzied media speculation about his turbulent love life.
Wife Annie Kilner — mother to four of his kids — is also open to a move when the time is right.
A source told The Sun: “Kyle has been thinking about his future after the Premier League and thinks a move to Saudi could be perfect for him, Annie, and their kids when he is done here.
“He has been speaking to Riyad about the football clubs out there and what life is like for people who move there.
"Obviously, the lifestyle is vastly different."Obviously, the lifestyle is vastly different.
“Kyle loves playing for Man City and is devoted to the club but he has his head screwed on and has been thinking about what the future holds for him when his time in the Prem and for England is done.”
