Former Manchester City defender Kyle Walker has been reunited with his wife Annie Kilner and their children in Milan following his recent move to Serie A giants AC Milan. The family was spotted together at the luxurious Melia Milano Hotel, where Walker has been residing since completing his transfer.
Annie arrived in Milan with their four children - Roman (11), Riaan (7), Reign (5), and nine-month-old Rezon - after what reports suggest was a delayed journey due to disagreements between the couple. The family's arrival marks a significant moment for Walker as he adapts to life in Italy.
In heartwarming scenes captured outside the five-star hotel, Walker was seen holding baby Rezon while acknowledging fans, with Annie walking close behind. The family was also photographed enjoying a meal together before venturing out to explore their new surroundings in the Italian fashion capital.
The reunion comes after Annie's notably absent presence at Walker's AC Milan unveiling. Prior to making the journey to Milan, she prioritized attending a friend's birthday celebrations in England and was active on social media, sharing updates from various social gatherings. Sources indicate that Annie has expressed frustration over constantly having to adjust her life to accommodate Walker's career moves, which may explain her initial reluctance to make the immediate move to Italy.
Looking ahead, Annie is expected to show her support for Walker during his first home game for AC Milan - a crucial derby match against local rivals Inter Milan scheduled for February 2. This family reunion could provide Walker with the stability he needs off the pitch as he embarks on his new challenge in Serie A, representing one of Italy's most storied clubs.
The timing of the family's arrival could prove crucial for Walker as he seeks to make his mark in Italian football, with the upcoming Milan derby presenting an opportunity for the defender to immediately endear himself to the Rossoneri faithful.
