Kyle Walker’s wife Annie Kilner has decided not to fly as part of the official Euro WAGs because she doesn’t want to play ‘happy family’ with the England footballer, MailOnline can reveal.
Annie, 30, is planning to hire a private jet and fly in and out for each of England’s games in Germany with the four children she shares with Walker.
The plane will cost Annie around £35,000 for each return trip and she is also planning to take a friend along to help with the youngsters – baby Rezon, two months, and sons Roman, 11, Riaan, seven and Reign , five.
A source told the Mail: “Things have gone really bad between Annie and Kyle, and she’s only going to the Euros for the sake of the kids. If there were no children involved, she wouldn’t go at all.
“She doesn’t want to be part of the WAGs because she doesn’t feel she’s in the right relationship with Kyle and she doesn’t want to pretend she is. She has told him how she feels and is not prepared to be in Germany playing happy families with him.’
The source added: ‘Annie doesn’t think it’s fair that she has to stay in the WAGs Hotel because she doesn’t feel like an official WAG. Arrangements are being made and she is more comfortable with traveling independently to Germany for each of the matches.’
The Football Association usually makes all the travel arrangements for the WAGs during major tournaments and also provides accommodation for them in an official hotel. Family time is also planned so players can spend time with their partners and children.

Annie will sit with the WAGS inside the stadium for games, but then make her way home straight after the game.
Her decision to travel to Germany was also influenced after Walker’s former lover, Lauryn Goodman, raised the possibility of attending the tour with their two children.
Instagram influencer Lauryn is mum to Walker’s son Kairo, four, and daughter, known to family and friends as KK, who is ten months old.
Annie only discovered last December, when she was pregnant with her and Walker’s fourth child, that he had also fathered a second child with Lauryn, leading to a breakdown in their marriage.
The source said: ‘Annie doesn’t want Lauryn to have one and is worried she’s planning to go to Germany. She thinks it’s really out of order and is going there to cause more trouble.
Her marriage to Kyle may not be in good shape, but she’s determined to stand her ground and make sure Lauryn doesn’t get all the publicity during the Euros. If she (Lauryn) is going to be there, then so is Annie.’
Annie and Walker’s relationship is said to be at a low ebb, as the pair barely speak. In an attempt to reconcile their differences, the Manchester City and England footballer temporarily returned to live at the family home in Cheshire.
But he has now returned to a £20,000-a-month mansion he rented nearby when their marriage first collapsed earlier this year.
The source said: ‘It’s as bad as it’s ever been, and I fear for the future of their marriage. Kyle is no longer at the family home and is out most of the time doing his own thing.
“Even when he won the Premier League, Annie and the kids attended the final but they didn’t speak at all. She didn’t even congratulate him and barely smiled, even when he took the children out into the field to celebrate.’
The couple also went on holiday with their four children to Wales recently to celebrate Walker’s 34th birthday, but that hasn’t done much to repair their marriage.
According to reports, Walker promised the boy he shares with Lauryn tickets to England’s Euro games, which he later denied.
Lauryn had vowed to be in Germany when he played, telling friends she was ‘determined my kids would see dad play’.
She also told friends that Walker had told her: “I want you there and I want Cairo to see me play.”
A friend said: ‘She won’t let Cairo down. She told friends Kyle wanted her to take the kids to Euros while they were still around, before Annie found out they were having a daughter.
“Cairo has been excited. Lauryn is a good mother. She won’t let her son down.’
If Lauryn does travel to Germany, she is unlikely to be sitting with the WAGs inside the stadium with English football officials hinting they will block her from joining them ‘by any means necessary’ amid fears her presence could remove the highly rated defender. his game.
