Kyle Walker has been caught urinating in public again, risking a £150 fine after being spotted outside a Manchester cocktail bar. This incident adds to his ongoing personal issues, as his wife, Annie Kilner, is reportedly demanding £15 million to remain in their marriage. The demand follows Walker fathering two children with influencer Lauryn Goodman, which has put further strain on their relationship.
Better accustomed to catching wingers offside, Kyle Walker found himself caught short after leaving a bustling cocktail bar with two friends, leading to his public urination incident. This adds to the controversy surrounding the Manchester City star, whose personal life has already been under scrutiny due to his ongoing marital struggles.
Instead of returning inside to the men’s room, Manchester City and England right-back Kyle Walker, 34, opted to relieve himself against a nearby wall. A friend also appeared to follow suit as they left the Dear Sailor bar around 11:30 pm, following Manchester City’s 1-1 draw with Newcastle United at St. James’ Park. According to Manchester City Council’s Public Spaces Protection Order 2023, urinating in public in restricted areas can result in a fine of up to £150 if caught.
Walker, who earns an average of £160,000 per week playing for Pep Guardiola’s high-flying Manchester City, seemed unfazed as he relieved himself before heading to a waiting car. The footballer had been enjoying a night out at Dear Sailor, a popular venue in Spinningfields Square that describes itself as a “clandestine cocktail bar inspired by the speakeasies and jazz clubs of 1930s Tokyo.”
This isn’t the first time the England international has faced public scrutiny for similar behavior. He previously drew attention after urinating against the wall of a £260-a-night hotel in broad daylight back in April 2022. That incident occurred outside The Bridge in Prestbury, Cheshire, just 24 hours after Manchester City lost to Liverpool in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley Stadium.
Guests at the hotel reported seeing Kyle Walker, the England and Manchester City defender, looking around before pulling up his hoodie and urinating against a wall. This incident comes amid claims that his wife, Annie Kilner, will only consider reconciling if he pays her a staggering £15 million.
Kilner, 32, is believed to be demanding about half of Walker’s estimated £27 million fortune following his secret fathering of two children with influencer Lauryn Goodman. The couple shares four children and has spent the past year trying to navigate the challenges in their fractured relationship.
