Annie Kilner chats to pal Coleen Rooney as she leaves the gym after it was revealed her relationship with Kyle Walker is 'as bad as it's ever been'
Coleen Rooney was spotted chatting to her pal Annie Kilner as she left the gym on Tuesday. The WAGs bumped into each other and stopped for a catch up after it was revealed that Annie and Kyle Walker 's relationship is 'as bad as it's ever been'. And amid the drama, Annie, 33, looked keen to hide as she covered herself with her hoodie. She ran to her car and jumped inside ready to travel home, bumping into her fellow WAG Coleen who came over to the car for a chat after a trip to the gym. Coleen sported a casual ensemble after her gym session as she left wearing black leggings, trainers and a khaki parka jacket.

Meanwhile Annie shielded her face with a white zip-up hooded sweater which she paired with a black vest, black leggings, ankle socks and trainers. Earlier this year, Annie's fellow WAGS, including Coleen, rallied around her as she attended a Julie Perry Events International Women's Day celebration. It came days after footballer Kyle, 34, was pictured on a night out with two women, just after he and Annie enjoyed a family day out with their children in Milan. And amid the drama, Annie put on a brave face as she arrived at the Lowry Hotel for the event, which celebrates Manchester's most inspiring and entrepreneurial women. It was previously claimed Coleen was 'supporting' Annie amid her romance woes with Kyle. Annie was also said to have hired a lawyer who helped Coleen during her Wagatha Christie High Court battle with Rebekah Vardy. It comes after it as revealed on Saturday that Annie and Kyle's relationship is 'as bad as it's ever been', as the England international ponders his next move following an unsuccessful spell at AC Milan. The full-back is back in the UK and according to pals is 'barely speaking' with Annie, who is still unable to forgive him and move on from the footballer's affairs with Lauryn Goodman, 34, the mother of two of his six children. Kyle hoped his stint in Italy with the seven-time Champions League winners would trigger a fresh start for himself and Annie. Being away from the 'noise' of his sex scandal was a major reason behind his hasty departure from Manchester City in January. But the Rossoneri have declined the opportunity to sign Kyle for an extra year, meaning he will now have to find another club with City boss Pep Guardiola indicating the defender has no future at the Etihad, despite having one year left on his contract. And insiders have told MailOnline his inner circle view his stint in Milan as a 'wasted opportunity', not only for his football career but getting his marriage back on track with Annie. A friend said: 'Kyle really enjoyed his time with Milan, especially off the pitch. The full-back, 34, is back in the UK and according to pals is 'barely speaking' with Annie, 33, who is still unable to forgive him and move on from the footballer's affairs with Lauryn Goodman, 34 (pictured), the mother of two of his six children 'Having played under Guardiola for so long, which is exhausting having to meet his lofty standards, he felt the shackles were off when he joined Milan and made the most of his new lifestyle, perhaps eating and drinking what he wouldn't ordinarily consume, as well as socialising more. 'That impacted him on the pitch which is why he didn't perform to the levels he's become accustomed to over the years. 'That disappointed his parents who flew over to watch him for the last game of the season and he didn't even make the bench.

Italian press brutally mock Kyle Walker's 'failed' AC Milan loan spell - as they urge the Italian giants not to sign him permanently from Man City amid family drama
The Italian press have claimed that 'failure has the face of [Kyle] Walker', providing a brutal assessment of the full-back's torrid time at AC Milan as uncertainty engulfs his career in Italy. The 35-year-old made the loan switch to the Rossoneri in January, ending a seven-and-a-half-year stint at Manchester City, which was littered with gold. His Italy switch came amid family drama off the pitch, with Walker fighting for his marriage with the mother of four of his children, Annie Kilner, after also fathering two kids with his influencer ex-mistress Lauryn Goodman. After a bright start to life in the country's fashion capital - going unbeaten in his first three starts - Walker's form drastically dipped as Milan finished a surprisingly low eighth place in Serie A. Reports earlier this month claimed that the seven-time European Cup winners had decided against paying the £4.2million fee to keep him permanently, which would mean the England defender would be forced to return to City. And it's clear that Italian media outlet Tuttosport are fans of that notion, as they mocked Walker for his struggles in Milan. The newspaper seems fairly certain that Walker will not spend next season in black and red, instead making his way back to Manchester. Tuttosport lambasted Walker's time at the club as a disaster, with the harshest line - by far - reading: 'Failure has the face of Walker.' They also claimed that all he will be remembered for is his water-spitting prior to matches. Walker famously drinks water before spraying it into the air, which has made for some cool pictures. He was berated for imitating 'his role model' Triple H - real name Paul Levesque - who used to do the same water-spitting action while wrestling in the WWE, where he is now chief content officer. Walker's personal life issues are believed to have affected his time in Milan, according to Tuttosport, and there is no way that he can continue at the Rossoneri. Last month, Italian outlet Calciomercato also claimed that the former Tottenham star's elbow injury paired with Alex Jimenez's impressive form at right-wing back are said to have convinced Milan's hierarchy against a permanent move. Jimenez, who is just 20, was originally signed for Milan's under-23 side but has made 20 appearances in Serie A this season, compared to Walker's 11. Walker said he 'wanted to cry' when he left City and previously admitted he didn't think his time at the Etihad was over. 'After I said my goodbyes, Pep [Guardiola] got up and spoke and said a really nice message to me, just saying thank you for everything,' Walker said on his BBC podcast. 'But listen, it's not over. I'm just on loan here. I've got to take that into consideration that I can go back. 'Obviously, both parties need to come to an agreement come the end of the season. The chapter's not fully closed, we'll see what happens.' The treble-winner wanted to leave the Etihad Stadium over diminishing game time, fearful of how it would impact his international career. Walker featured in both of Thomas Tuchel's opening World Cup qualifiers in March.

AC Milan drop hint about Kyle Walker's future amid reports Serie A giants are set to 'snub £4m chance to sign him' - after he moved to Italy to escape affair drama
AC Milan 's dramatic kit launch may have provided a hint into Kyle Walker 's future, amid reports that he is set to return to Manchester City at the end of the term. The England defender moved to the Rossoneri in January on loan, ending his seven-and-a-half year stint in Manchester. His Italy switch came amid family drama off the pitch, with Walker fighting for his marriage with the mother of four of his children, Annie Kilner, after also fathering two kids with his influencer ex-mistress Lauryn Goodman. Walker hit the ground running in Italy with three unbeaten results from his first three starts. But his form dipped as Milan, who currently sit in ninth in Serie A, struggled domestically and in Europe. Reports earlier this month claimed that the seven-time European Cup winners had decided against paying the £4.2million fee to keep him permanently. However, following the club's recent kit launch, speculation over Walker's future has begun anew. The 34-year-old is one of four men's stars included in the dramatic unveiling video of the Rossoneri's strip for the 2025-26 campaign. Walker features at three different points of the 46 second clip and can be seen donning the jersey set to be worn by Milan next term.

Famously, Chelsea placed Eden Hazard front and centre of their kit reveal in 2019 just months before he completed a big-money move to Real Madrid.

Kyle Walker's career is at a crossroads as AC Milan turn down chance to sign him after loan move... so, could he play for Pep again, link up with an ex-City team-mate or return to his roots?
Lining up for England in the European Championship final last summer, few would have imagined Kyle Walker ending the season with no clue where he will be at the start of the next one. Sure, the life of a footballer is filled with twists, turns, setbacks and hurdles and Walker has had plenty of those, but above all he was an elite defender - arguably the greatest full back these shores have ever seen. Often unfairly maligned as a 'pace merchant', Walker has dominated the right-hand side of every single Premier League ground for over a decade with Tottenham and Manchester City. It's not for nothing his podcast used to be called 'You'll never beat Kyle Walker'. Even at 34, though he was entering the twilight phase of an illustrious career, he was unquestionably the best the country had to offer, but then his form fell off a cliff with his personal life dominating the spotlight, seemingly with every shaky display. Things came to a head when, in January, he announced the need for a new challenge, and joined AC Milan on loan at a time when he appeared to be fighting for his marriage with the mother of four of his children, Annie Kilner, amid the ongoing saga with his influencer ex-mistress Lauryn Goodman. Now, with reports from Italy suggesting AC Milan have turned down their option to make his loan permanent after failing to impress, the question is no longer 'can you beat Walker?', but 'where else can he turn?' Kyle Walker's loan with AC Milan has seemingly not gone to plan with reports claiming the Italian giants will not be making the move permanent Of course, he is only on loan at AC Milan, and still has a year on his deal at City left, so the most likely option is he will return to the Etihad, but whether or not he will resume his role is another issue entirely. Walker featured 15 times for City in the Premier League this season, winning six games, but of the games he started incredibly only one ended in victory. It's true that City have been well off the boil this season, but for many his personal malaise epitomised their need for a widescale overhaul. His drop in form has been alarming, but there are mitigating factors, as ever. There can't be a player in the country whose personal life has been in the headlines more often over the last 18 months than Walker. His relationship with Goodman is well-documented, as is his wife Kilner's decision to try and make things work with the footballer, with whom she has four sons - Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, Reign, five, and baby Rezon. With Goodman, his former mistress, Walker has two further children, and she has regularly made clear her intentions to be close to their father, suggesting a move to Dubai when he was linked with a move to Saudi Arabia, and similarly raising the possibility of relocating to Italy. Kilner, for her part, has visited her husband in Milan since his move in January, and he has also made return trips to Cheshire, one such visit coming in the wake of being photographed partying late into the night with two models in Milan, hours after his wife had flown home to England. Yet despite a strong enough start to life in Serie A which teased a successful stint and eventual £4m move, things have once more dropped off for Walker in northern Italy. An elbow injury back in April hardly helped, with youngster Alex Jimenez taking his opportunity to usurp the veteran's place; it's not difficult to spot the trappings of a tale as old as time. Since then, he's struggled to win his place back and is consigned to the bench. Which brings us to his current predicament. The move to Milan has failed to breathe new life into his career in quite the way he had hoped, and he left City with his stock rapidly declining, so where can he turn? Well, Walker himself has left the door open to a return to City, and seemingly believes that he can still hack it at the Etihad, though things will likely look vastly different with the club sure to recruit heavily this summer. 'After I said my goodbyes, Pep [Guardiola] got up and spoke and said a really nice message to me, just saying thank you for everything,' he said. 'But, listen, it's not over. I'm just on loan here. I've got to take that into consideration that I can go back. 'Obviously, both parties need to come to an agreement come the end of the season and… listen, the chapter's not fully closed, but we'll see what happens.' Beyond a return to City, though, there aren't too many options left for the defender, who will be 35 by the time this season finishes. He has also stated his intentions t hunt down five more England caps to bring up his century for the Three Lions. 'I wanted to play in Europe or stay in the Premier League,' Walker added. 'I do want to represent my country still and get to a hundred caps. I just want to be able to say that I've represented my country 100 times.' He was linked with a move to German titans Bayern Munich in the past, which would give him the opportunity to continue at the highest level of the game alongside England and former Spurs team-mate Harry Kane once again, though the likelihood of a move remains to be seen. They would certainly be able to afford his wage demands, though the club currently only has six players over the age of 30; one of whom is all-time Bayern legend Manuel Neuer, with three others out of contract this summer. There's also the other fact that Bayern are managed by his long-time team-mate Vincent Kompany, who led Walker to numerous Premier League titles and pieces of silverware. It seems unlikely that Walker would play a prominent role at the Allianz Arena, but a move would be intriguing to say the least. An outside shout could be a return to boyhood club Sheffield United, who are huge favourites to win promotion back to the Premier League this summer. It's unlikely the Blades would come close to matching his wages at the Etihad, but perhaps nostalgia can provide the necessary difference in negotiations. Walker has outlined his intention to remain in Europe, but given his wage demands and advance years, he does fit the profile for the Saudi Pro League's history of recruits from the continent's bigger teams, though he would likely hamper his chances of bringing up his ton for England. If that is his last great aim in what has been a stupidly successful career, then perhaps his best bet is assessing whether he has a chance to earn back his place in the City side over the summer. Could the prospect of one last hurrah to force himself into the England side for next summer's World Cup be the driving force he needs. Rest assured, as any Premier League forward of the last decade will attest, the moment Walker decides he wants something, the only thing that seems to be able to stop him is himself.
