KYLE Walker's wife Annie Kilner had her hands full with their four sons during Manchester City's Christmas trip last night.
The glamorous WAG, 31, looked to be having a lot of fun at Winter Funland in Trafford Park, Manchester.
Club captain Kyle, 34, was not present but his teammates Phil Foden, Nathan Aké, Ilkay Gundogan and Bernardo Silva all turned up.
Annie, who filed for divorce from Kyle in October, kept it casual in a short black zip-up jacket and jeans.
Wearing antlers, she held youngest Rezon, seven months, for a family photo with Santa, while Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, and Reign, five, stood nearby.
And she had great success crocheting ducks, which put a big smile on her face.
The off-duty footballers were allowed to embrace their inner children, with England's Foden and Dutchman Aké enjoying rides with their young families.
It comes amid a woeful run of form for City, which has seen them win just once in 10 games, their worst run in manager Pep Guardiola's nine-year tenure.
Just last week, Annie was pictured wearing her wedding ring again after a while without it.
She previously instructed lawyers to help her fight for half of Kyle's £27million fortune after their relationship soured following the birth of his second child with Lauryn Goodman.
In October, a source told us there was still a chance they could resolve their issues despite the lawsuit.
The move certainly surprised Kyle.
'He has spoken to Annie about it and they are discussing the next steps.
“This doesn't necessarily mean they will divorce.
“This is as much of Annie flexing her muscles as anything else.
“She wants Kyle to know she's not messing around. But if this is a bluff, it could backfire.”
The couple split at Christmas after the full-back was exposed for fathering a second child with Instagram influencer Lauryn.
She revealed the truth in a text message to Annie – and the couple have been fighting to save their relationship ever since.
They were childhood sweethearts and met as teenagers in Sheffield, but did not marry until November 2021 in an intimate ceremony at Mottram Hall in Cheshire.
The wedding took everyone by surprise – not least because of a slew of sex scandals involving the player following his £50million move to City from Spurs in 2017.
First, Ex on the Beach TV reality star Laura Brown said she and Kyle were repeatedly romping in his Bentley.
Annie kicked him out of their sprawling Cheshire home but they got back together.
She gave him the boot again when he revealed that Lauryn was having his baby.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Annie said: “What he did to me and our children is obscene.
'I can't put it into words.
“At the end of March last year he was unfaithful with a reality TV star.” I found out a month later and was devastated.
“He begged me to take him back, but by July he was at it again.” Less than three months later, someone was pregnant. My youngest was one. Who does that?
“I don't think I'll ever be the same again because of what he did.
“I tried to hate him, but how can I hate the man my children love so much?
“I knew it was always possible that Kyle would do it again, but getting someone pregnant was my worst nightmare.”
The couple miraculously stayed together against all odds and Kyle proposed with a £250,000 ring.
They secretly married in front of a handful of guests, but less than a year later he cheated on her again with Lauryn.
The Instagram influencer, 34, became pregnant after they met in London while he waited for groin surgery ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
She gave birth to a baby girl, Kinara, in July last year, as Kyle begged her not to reveal the truth to Annie.
He even considered leaving City for Bayern Munich in a desperate bid to avoid the looming scandal.
But on December 27, while playing for City in a 3-1 win against Everton at Goodison Park, Annie's phone lit up with a message.
It said, “Hey, it's Lauryn. I just wanted to quickly tell you that Kyle is the father of our daughter.”
Annie, who was heavily pregnant with the couple's fourth son at the time, announced their shock split two weeks later.
Kyle moved into a rented country house near their home in Cheshire and spoke about his shame in an exclusive interview with The Sun.
He admitted: “What I did is terrible and I take full responsibility.” I've made crazy choices and crazy decisions.
Annie gave birth to their fourth son Rezon in April, with Kyle at her bedside.
