‘She has put up with it all for a long time now but now appears that it is her turn to start calling the shots.
‘It is impossible to see any way back now, the only way forward seems to be a divorce, a very expensive one. You wouldn’t be surprised to see her take him to the cleaners.
‘It is terrifying to think how much it could cost him but it’s a mess and it seems this is the only way forward now.’
Kyle currently earns £180,000 per week playing for Manchester City but also has lucrative deals as the face of brands such as Puma and boohooMan.
It has also been reported he is worth as much as £30 million.

Last week, Walker publicly apologised to Annie for his infidelity.
In a statement, he wrote: Annie is an amazing woman and I can only apologise for the upset I’ve caused her.
‘She’s been part of my life for so long and that will never change for the sake of our children.
‘I would ask for privacy for all of our family, and especially our young children, whilst we work through these difficult times.’
His words came after Annie announced the split last Wednesday.
She wrote on Instagram: ‘I am posting this in response to growing recent media enquiries about my marriage to Kyle and in an effort to protect my family against the intensity of the media spotlight.
Annie announced the split last Wednesday. She wrote: ‘Sadly, after many years of marriage and three wonderful children together, I have decided to take some time away from Kyle’
‘Sadly, after many years of marriage and three wonderful children together, I have decided to take some time away from Kyle.
‘I do not wish to comment on the position any further. For now, I ask that the privacy of myself and our 3 young children is respected during this difficult time.‘
Meanwhile, Lauryn, who accused Kyle of living a ‘double life’ told how she spoke to Annie via FaceTime before going public about Kyle fathering her daughter.
She has since lashed out at the decorated footballer in a tell-all interview with The Sun.
She told the publication: ‘I told Annie that I would keep it quiet but now that is impossible after what they have done so I have to speak out.
‘In his statement he said ‘our’ children, not all of ‘my’ children. They put this out there. Kyle had a chance here to include all of his children and didn’t.
‘He isn’t thinking about his kids, he’s thinking about himself.’
She added: ‘I don’t blame myself for their breaking up — other women have reached out to me saying they’ve been with Kyle too.’
