Kyle Walker's wife, Annie Kilner, has reportedly filed for divorce from the England and Manchester City star.
It comes after the defender's affair with Lauryn Goodman, with the veteran fathering two children with the influencer.
According to The Sun, Annie has delivered the news to Walker after instructing her lawyers to begin legal proceedings to end their marriage.
She is now reportedly ready to fight for half of the 34-year-old's huge £27million fortune, with their fractured relationship 'turning ugly'.

A source has claimed that the couple are no longer on speaking terms, with Walker also consulting his own lawyers as the saga escalates.
The papers were reportedly filed 'weeks ago' with tensions rising in the wake of Walker's fling with Lauryn.
An insider is quoted as saying: "Kyle was stunned when he got the papers.
"He's spoken to Annie about them and they are discussing the next steps.

"This doesn't necessarily mean they will divorce.
"This is as much Annie flexing her muscles as it is anything else.
"She wants Kyle to know she's not messing about. But if this is a bluff, it may well back-fire."
Walker and Annie split at Christmas after it emerged that he'd fathered a second child with Lauryn, despite previously insisting their relationship was over.
Lauryn actually broke the news to Annie, sending her a text message that confirmed her son was Walker's.
Walker and Annie met in Sheffield when they were teenagers and got married in Cheshire back in November 2021.
According to the report, the wedding took 'everyone by surprise' given how Walker had been unfaithful to Annie at various times in their relationship.
Ex on the Beach reality star Laura Brown previously said she slept with the Premier League star in his Bentley, while the right-back's continuous flings with Lauryn also contributed to the surprise factor.
