Pregnant Annie Kilner is seeking support from fellow WAG Natasha Massey as she continues to weather cheating ex Kyle Walker’s paternity scandal.
While it’s been claimed she wants to put on an ‘united front’ with the Manchester City player, their two-year marriage is in tatters after it emerged he fathered a second secret love child with mistress Lauryn Goodman.
It seems fitting that she has sought solace in Massey, 33, with the ladies seen out in Cheshire on Thursday morning, as she also has experience of being thrust into public scandal.
Her now-husband Ched Evans, 35, was convicted of raping a woman at a hotel in Wales in 2011, but was cleared after a high-profile retrial in 2016.
Massey stood by the former Welsh international throughout his jail term and long legal battle, despite Evans being unfaithful, and the couple wed in 2022.

The couple have two children, while Kilner has three with her estranged husband Walker.
They appeared in good spirits on Thursday as they headed out for some quality time while casually clad in sportswear.
Amid the ongoing paternity scandal, it’s been claimed Walker and his betrayed wife will ‘do what they can’ to appear unified and ‘put their children first’ after his affair.
England star Walker has been branded a ‘disgrace’ by fans after he admitted to fathering a secret child to influencer Goodman during his marriage to ‘best friend’ Kilner.
He had already fathered a son, three year-old Kairo, with Goodman following an earlier separation from his wife in 2020.
But a source told the Daily Mail: ‘Kyle and Annie put their children first. They will do what they can now and in the future to stay united, however that may look.’
On December 27 Kilner allegedly asked for proof that her husband was the father of Goodman’s son and baby daughter.
Goodman said: ‘She was asking all sorts of questions. I said, “I don’t want to hurt you”, but she insisted on seeing photos, getting details. I showed her one of Kyle and Kairo playing football together’.
She told The Sun: ‘I know he has got photos of our kids up at Manchester City, I’ve met him lots of times since Kairo was born too. He has met his daughter.’

The influencer previously said she showed Kilner a DNA test and paperwork with her daughter’s name on it.
Walker appeared to show contrition this week following the revelations.
He told The Sun: ‘What I’ve done is horrible and I take full responsibility. I made idiot choices and idiot decisions. I can’t begin to think or imagine what Annie is going through.
‘I’ve tried to ask her but there’s pain and hurt. The man that’s meant to love, care and be there for her, did this.’
Walker admitted he wanted to ‘curl up in a ball’ after his relationship with Goodman came to light earlier in the month.
But he said the only person to blame was himself and admitted he had made ‘stupid choices’.
In 2020 Goodman confirmed the father of her oldest child, son Kairo, was Walker and the footballer broke the news to his devastated wife hours before it went public.
He moved out of the family home to rental accommodation in nearby Hale, Cheshire before Kilner agreed to take him back, with Walker agreeing to sever all contact with Goodman beyond his ongoing financial commitments.

Then in early October 2022, the footballer travelled to London for groin surgery and met Goodman. He confirmed the pair ended up sleeping together.
Weeks later Goodman broke the news she was pregnant again, with Walker revealing he almost ‘fainted’ when she called during a training session.
Walker kept Goodman’s pregnancy a secret from his wife and has said it was Kilner’s own pregnancy which was ‘the straw that broke the camel’s back.’

While her footballer husband was away with his club, Goodman messaged Kilner on December 27 2023, revealing the truth about their relationship and the parentage of her second child.
Kilner, who is expecting her fourth child with the footballer, announced they would be separating earlier this month after 13 years.
The footballer has since moved out of their £2.5million home in Prestbury while Kilner remains at the property with their three sons.
‘My little boy goes to sleep with me every night and to not have him… I’m used to being away for long periods of time with England,’ he said, his voice breaking.
‘We say goodnight on FaceTime. But to know that I’m not with him because of my mistake – mistake is probably the wrong word, my choices – that’s what pains me.’
The split was confirmed days before revealed he was the father of Goodman’s daughter, known only as ‘KW’.
can reveal that Walker is fighting to save his marriage. The pair tied the knot in November 2021, but he continues to live apart from his wife after she kicked him out of their £2.4million marital home.
He will be attending all of her future baby scans and continues to be present for their three children.
Announcing at least a temporary separation earlier in January, Kilner told Instagram followers: ‘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 my three young children be respected during this difficult time.’
Walker has been slammed by fans as ‘vile’ and ‘selfish’ after he admitted to fathering a secret child during his marriage to ‘best friend’ Kilner (pictured together in 2019)
