MailOnline has contacted Annie's representatives for comment.

Annie and Kyle have been struggling to save their broken relationship for the past year.

The pair share Roman, 11, Ryan, seven, Reign, five, and five-month-old son Rezon, while he has 13-month-old Kinara and Cairo, four, with Lauryn.

Earlier this week, Annie faced accusations that she 'married Kyle to take a financial windfall' after the footballer's multiple cheating scandals.

She is reportedly planning to get out of the relationship since 2019.

In May 2019, Kyle dated reality TV star Laura Brown over his alleged affair with Lauryn, 33.

Kyle was embroiled in a paternity scandal and courtroom showdown with the model earlier this year when the news came to light.

A source who spoke to The Sun revealed: 'Annie married Kyle for love, but she knew in her heart she had to do it to save herself and their children a financial crisis.

'He has been planning to leave for some time due to financial issues. Annie is really very smart and nobody's fool.

“People might think she's a doormat, but Annie is smart and knew she had to get married to get access to Kyle's money.”

The source said some of Annie's WAG friends advised her to leave him in 2019, but others suggested she marry him to 'protect herself' if he cheats again.

Annie Kilner, 33, who married childhood sweetheart Kyle in 2021, was said in recent days to have 'met lawyers' to discuss legal steps to end their marriage.

'They are both open to conversations about financial security for Annie and the boys and will always protect the children in any situation.'

Kyle met Annie when she was 18 and Model was 16 while playing for his hometown club Sheffield United.

Annie previously said: 'When we started going out it was love at first sight.'

But after nine years together, they briefly split in May 2019 after Kyle's alleged string of affairs with reality TV star Laura.

Annie reportedly kicked Kyle out of their £3.5 million mansion following the scandal, but the couple reunited months later.

There are allegations that he held sex parties with escorts in lockdown and shared texts with a Playboy model while the UK was on duty in France.

Kyle fathered Lauryn's four-year-old son Kyro while on a break with Annie, but the pair managed to mend their relationship during that time.

However, it was also revealed earlier this year that he is the father of Lauryn's 13-month-old daughter Kinara – telling Annie in a bombshell text message on Christmas that the baby is her husband's.
