Kyle Walker was given some additional support on Sunday afternoon as estranged wife Annie Kilner watched Manchester City thrash their bitter rivals Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium.
The pregnant mother-of-three was joined by the couple's young children, Roman, eleven, Riaan, seven, and five-year old Reign ahead of the game, an emphatic 3-1 victory for a home side that included her husband.
Kilner's appearance at the Etihad hinted at a potential olive branch for Walker, who has been living away from their sprawling Prestbury mansion after he admitted to fathering a child with influencer Lauryn Goodman out of wedlock.
