Coleen Rooney has been the Queen of the WAGS since she was thrown into the spotlight after meeting her Manchester United husband Wayne Rooney when she was just 16 years old. The couple, both 38, tied the knot in 2008 and have four children together, Kai, Klay, Kit and Cass.

But it hasn’t been easy for the famous pair who have been forced to put on a united front and work through some rather turbulent times, from cheating claims to allegations involving sex workers.

And another WAG who has experienced difficult times is Annie Kilner, 32, the wife of Manchester City star Kyle Walker, 34. The couple first met in their hometown of Sheffield when she was 15 and he was 17 – today they share four children, Roman, Riaan, Reign and Rezon. But the joyous occasion of welcoming their fourth child was dampened after reports emerged that Kyle had fathered a second child with reality star Lauryn Goodman, 33.

The footballer first had a fling with the influencer during a split from Annie in 2019, when Lauryn fell pregnant. Lauryn gave birth to son Kairo, while Annie took Kyle back and the couple tied the knot in 2022.

However, Kyle and Lauryn reconnected and Lauryn conceived their second child in October 2022 when Kyle was in London for treatment for a groin injury. Lauryn then revealed to Annie, who was heavily pregnant with her and Kyle’s fourth child at the time, that her daughter was Kyle’s. After finding out about the alleged infidelity, Annie and Kyle parted ways at the end of last year before apparently reconciling again to welcome their son in April this year.
