Dortmund stadium was alive with the roar of England fan’s victory celebrations last night – with the notable exception Kyle Walker‘s wife, Annie Kilner who appeared stony faced following the semi-finals win.
Fans partied deep into the night after the Three Lions won 2-1 against Netherlands to secure a place in the final in the Euro’s 2024, and 30-year-old Annie was in the stands, casually in white trousers and a black vest top.
As the final whistle went and fans celebrated wildly, Hallie Palmer – the sister of Cole Palmer – caught Annie on camera turning her face away from the pitch to take a sip of her drink.
During the game, the mother of four, initially seemed to show her support for her husband of two years, watching intently from the stands through the hair-raising match.
However, when victory was secured, Annie was a little less jubilant in her celebrations.
Annie’s nonchalence comes as no surprise after Kyle’s previous infidelities and ongoing drama with his former mistres, Lauryn Goodman.
Kyle, 34, from Sheffield, admitted to fathering a secret child with influencer Lauryn, earlier this year, shocking his wife and the nation.
Kyle’s two-year marriage to ‘best friend’ Annie, who he met as a teenager, was left in tatters after the England full-back was named as the father of Lauryn’s daughter.
It came after he also had a son, Kairo, 3, with Lauryn who was conceived whille he was temporarily estranged from Annie in 2020.
Annie shares sons Rezon, two months, Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, and Reign, five, with the Manchester City defender and England vice-captain.
Although the WAG has been present at every England match so far, she has apparently vowed ‘not to play happy families’ with her husband in Germany.
Annie opted for £35,000 return flights on a private plane, to jet in for each game instead of staying in the country for the duration with her partner.
The Lauryn paternity scandal has rumbled on during the tournament.
In June, Lauryn raised eyebrows by attending England’s game against Denmark with her son Kairo, three, claiming Kyle had promised his son he would get to watch his dad play in the Euros one day.
Lauryn has also been sharing snaps of her two children to Instagram watching their dad play – wearing shirts emblazoned with Daddy – while Annie jetted to Germany with their baby son to watch him in the stands.
Last week England’s victory over Switzerland was overshadowed by Lauryn’s latest social media activity as Annie supported husband Kyle on Saturday evening.
Gareth Southgate’s men matched on to their third semi-final under his management after beating a lively Switzerland side on penalties following a 1-1 stalemate.
But Annie looked less than impressed after Kyle, having earned his 88th cap for England, joined her in the stands at Düsseldorf’s Merkur Spiel-Arena following their win.
Sources have since claimed her mood was soured after Lauryn shared photos of her two children with Kyle who were wearing ‘Daddy’ England shirts.
An insider told MailOnline: ‘Insiders at the England camp say they are fed up with the off pitch distraction manufactured by Lauryn.’
‘They know Annie and Kyle have tried to deal with the situation privately and discreetly for the sake of all the children involved but she continues to pull stunts like drumming up attention around the fact she is going to the Euros.
‘This is something they have had to put up with for the past four years.
‘Kyle is desperate to protect Annie and their boys, whatever happens between them as a couple in the future they both agree this is a priority.
‘And a big part of that is protecting them from the media speculation and circus around the situation.’
A separate source told MailOnline: ‘The FA never tightened security when Lauryn visited Germany to watch the Euros and they said she is welcome to watch the game with Kyle’s children.
‘They don’t wish to get involved in family matters.’
Following the final whistle the footballer made his way over to the stands where the mother-of-four had been watching with their sons.
A spokeswoman for Kyle told MailOnline: ‘Kyle is proud to be a part of the England team and thrilled with the incredible result tonight.
‘He continues to focus on the matches and their aim of bringing the trophy home to the millions of fans watching’.
‘Annie and the boys travelled to support him and the whole squad, as they have done and always will do, and once asks that the media gives them privacy and turns their attention to supporting the England team’.

Despite the drama, Kyle has repeatedly demonstrated that his children with Annie are his main priority by making an ‘R’ symbol with his hand during the Euros matches – the first letter of their children’s names.
The footballer has repeatedly made the ‘R’ symbol with his hand during England’s cutthroat Euros 2024 matches.
The hand signal tributes his children with Annie – with their children each having a name starting with the letter ‘R’ – Roman, Riaan, Reign, and newborn Rezon.

A source told MailOnline: ‘Annie is surrounded by love from the other WAGS who admire her strength and resilience. The WAGs recently pledged their support amidst the circus involving Lauryn and want Annie to know they have her and Kyle’s back.
‘They’re all a big family no matter what happens between the adults and pitch together to support the young ones amongst them.’
