Annie Kilner has reportedly 'met with lawyers' to discuss legal proceedings to end her marriage to Kyle Walker after allegedly giving her husband a '£15million ultimatum'.
The 33-year-old WAG, who married childhood sweetheart Kyle in 2021, is said to have given the footballer an expensive proposition following his multiple cheating antics.
Kyle, 34, was embroiled in a paternity scandal after secretly fathering two children with influencer Lauryn Goodman.
Standing her ground, Annie is only giving marriage another chance if there is an agreement to share the £27million fortune.
The mother-of-four is said to have obtained preliminary legal advice ahead of a split that could see her pocket half of the star's £150,000-a-week fortune.
Now, sources say Annie has “secretly” taken the first step toward discussing divorce, but no final decision has been made yet.

Sources said Annie has “secretly” taken the first step toward discussing divorce, but no final decision has been made yet.
A source told The Sun: 'Annie is prepared to move on.
“She’s not kidding and has spoken to lawyers about what the future will look like.
“Divorce has been an ever-present threat all year, but things are starting to come to a head.”
MailOnline has contacted Annie's representatives for comment.
Annie and Kyle have spent the past year fighting to salvage their shattered relationship.
The couple share Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, Reign, five, and five-month-old baby Rezon, while he also has Kinara, 13 months, and Kairo, four, with Lauryn.
Earlier this week, it was reported that Annie is facing accusations that she “married Kyle to secure a financial windfall” following the football player's multiple cheating scandals.
She is said to have been “formulating an exit plan from the relationship” since 2019.
Kyle had an alleged string of romps with reality TV star Laura Brown in May 2019, as well as his flings with Lauryn, 33.
Kyle was embroiled in a paternity scandal and a courtroom confrontation with the model earlier this year when the news broke.

Speaking to The Sun, a source revealed: 'Annie married Kyle out of love, but she also knew in her heart that she had to do it to secure a financial windfall for herself and her children.
“She has been formulating an exit plan for some time in terms of finances. Annie is actually very cunning and is not stupid.
“People might assume she's a doormat, but Annie is smart and knew she would need to marry Kyle to get access to his money.”
The source told how some of Annie's WAG friends advised her to leave him in 2019, but others suggested she should marry him to 'protect herself' in case he cheated on her again.
A source added to MailOnline: “Annie and Kyle are living together, sorting out their marital issues and trying to establish a new routine.
“They are both open to conversations about financial security for Annie and the boys and will always protect the children under any circumstances.”
Kyle met Annie when he was 18 while playing for his hometown club Sheffield United, when the model was just 16.
Annie previously said: 'When we started dating it was love at first sight.'
But after nine years together, they briefly split in May 2019 following Kyle's alleged string of romps with reality TV star Laura.

It was reported at the time Ex on the Beach star Laura confessed to Annie about the alleged sexual encounters that took place in the back of Kyle's £200,000 Bentley Bentayga.
Annie reportedly kicked Kyle out of her £3.5million mansion following the scandal, but the couple reunited months later.
There were also allegations that he held a lockdown sex party with escorts and shared text messages with a Playboy model while on duty in England in France.
Kyle fathered Lauryn's four-year-old son Kairo during a break with Annie, but the two managed to repair their relationship at the time.
However, earlier this year he was also revealed to be the pity of Lauryn's 13-month-old daughter Kinara – she's old Annie in a bombshell text message at Christmas that the baby was her husband's.
Elsewhere, Annie is embroiled in a furious row with her younger sister after she gives birth to a boy conceived during a secret affair with a father-of-four, MailOnline can reveal.
Devastated Annie accused her sister Sian of 'doing a Lauryn Goodman' and doing to another woman what was done to her by getting involved with a man who was still with his partner and their young children.

The sisters have had a series of heated arguments in recent months over Sian's case and Annie refused to go to hospital last week when she gave birth. She hasn't seen the baby yet.
Sian admitted to MailOnline: 'This is a delicate situation for Annie, she absolutely does not tolerate my behavior and is shocked at the upset it could cause.
'I sincerely apologize for any pain I have caused the families involved, including my own.
Sian, 26, revealed that she intends to raise the baby alone and that her father will not be involved. MailOnline understands that your partner has no knowledge of the child.
A source said: “Annie is still in a lot of pain over what happened in her marriage. She was shocked to find out what Sian was doing after what she had been through. She does not condone his actions and has made this clear to her.
'Things are tense between them. Annie and Kyle finally walked through a brick wall after seven months of trying to work things out and this news about Sian shocked her to the core.
The source revealed that Kyle also joined the sisters' row, accusing Sian of being a 'hypocrite' while refusing to speak to her.

The source added: “Sian sent vile messages to Kyle, calling him every name possible when she found out about him and Lauryn. Now he feels like she had no right to attack him like that and be so cruel. He wants nothing to do with her.
'This situation didn't help things between Annie and Kyle either. Every time they argue about his cheating, he just tells her, 'See what happened in your family before you attack me.' Sian's behavior has caused them even more problems.'
Sian previously worked as a manicurist in a salon in Sheffield but quit shortly before giving birth. Sian's son's father is from Sheffield.
Ironically, Sian has furiously taken to social media in the past to criticize Lauryn for her affair with Kyle.
