Walker and Kilner Expecting Fifth Child Amidst Marital Struggles

omidbasir- Walker and Kilner have navigated considerable marital difficulties, and recent reports indicate that Kilner is expecting their fifth child. Childhood sweethearts, Walker and Kilner married in 2021, but their relationship has endured substantial strain despite their four children together. Legal proceedings regarding their separation commenced in 2024, though they have since made strides in rebuilding their connection.

Kilner has shared the news of her pregnancy with family and friends, expressing her hope that this new addition will help fortify their marriage. The couple already has four sons: Roman, 11, Riaan, 7, Reign, 5, and Rezon, 1, and they have informed their children that their forthcoming sibling will also bear a name starting with the letter ‘R.’

Walker has made significant efforts to restore his relationship with Kilner, including spending time in Italy with AC Milan to avoid media scrutiny. A source disclosed to the Daily Mail that since his return from Italy last year, Kilner has indicated her desire for another child, believing it could help them move past their challenges.

The source remarked, “Their family and close friends were surprised by the news, as there are still unresolved issues between them. It’s a bit risky, considering that a new baby can sometimes increase pressure on a marriage. However, everyone is genuinely happy for them and is doing their best to support Annie.”

The source further noted that Walker and Kilner are currently in a “much better place”. Kilner is reportedly enjoying her pregnancy this time around, a stark contrast to her experience during her previous pregnancy with Rezon, which was overshadowed by the revelation of Walker’s secret love child with Lauryn, causing her significant stress.

She now feels optimistic, believing that a new baby represents a fresh start for their family. Meanwhile, Walker is currently playing for Burnley, having returned to the North-West, albeit facing the reality of potentially dropping into the Championship, as Burnley currently sits at 19th place in the league, 11 points adrift of safety. They are preparing to face Crystal Palace in their next match.

Recently, Burnley suffered a loss to relegation rivals West Ham, prompting their manager Scott Parker to address the fans, expressing his commitment to overcoming the current adversity. He stated, “I’m a fighter. I’ve encountered many challenges in life, and I will continue to stand firm and represent that resilience to this group. I can’t promise immediate improvements, but we will emerge stronger from this journey.”
