Pregnant Annie Kilner turns to her WAG colleague Natasha Massey for support as she continues to weather unfaithful ex-boyfriend Kyle Walker's paternity scandal.
While it is claimed she wants to form a “united front” with the Manchester City player, their two-year marriage is in tatters after it was revealed he fathered a second child out of secret love with his lover Lauryn Goodman.
It seems fitting that she sought comfort from Massey, 33, when the ladies were spotted out in Cheshire on Thursday morning, as she also has experience of being caught up in a public scandal.
Her now husband Ched Evans, 35, was convicted of raping a woman in a hotel in Wales in 2011 but was acquitted after a high-profile retrial in 2016.
Massey stood by the former Wales international throughout his prison sentence and long legal battle, despite Evans being unfaithful, and the couple married in 2022.

Massey stood by her husband Ched Evans when he was convicted of raping a woman in a hotel in Wales in 2011, but was acquitted after a high-profile retrial in 2016 (pictured outside court).
The couple has two children, while Kilner has three with her estranged husband Walker.
They were in good spirits on Thursday as they casually dressed in sportswear and headed out for a good time.
Amid the ongoing paternity scandal, it is claimed Walker and his cheated wife are “doing what they can” to appear united and “put their children first” following his affair.
England star Walker has been branded a “disgrace” by fans after admitting he fathered a secret child for influencer Goodman during his marriage to “best friend” Kilner.
After a previous split from his wife in 2020, he had already fathered a son, three-year-old Cairo, with Goodman.
But a source told the Chron: “Kyle and Annie are putting their children first. “They will do what they can now and in the future to stay united, whatever that looks like.”
On Dec. 27, Kilner allegedly demanded evidence that her husband was the father of Goodman's son and infant daughter.
Goodman said, “She asked all sorts of questions.” I said, “I don't want to hurt you,” but she insisted on seeing photos and getting details. I showed her a picture of Kyle and Cairo playing soccer together.
She told The Sun: “I know he has photos of our children at Manchester City, I have also met him many times since Cairo was born. “He met his daughter.”

Amid the ongoing paternity scandal, it is claimed Walker and his cheated wife are “doing what they can” to appear united and “put their children first” following his affair.
The influencer previously said she showed Kilner a DNA test and papers with her daughter's name on them.
Walker appeared to show remorse this week following the revelations.
He told The Sun: “What I did is terrible and I take full responsibility. “I made idiotic choices and idiotic decisions. I can't even imagine what Annie is going through.
“I tried to ask her but there is pain and pain. The man who was supposed to love her, care for her and be there for her did that.”
Walker admitted he wanted to “curl up” after his relationship with Goodman came to light earlier this month.
But he said the only person to blame was himself and admitted he made “stupid decisions”.
In 2020, Goodman confirmed that the father of her eldest child, son Cairo, was Walker, and the footballer broke the news to his devastated wife hours before she went public.
He moved from the family home to rented accommodation in nearby Hale, Cheshire, before Kilner agreed to take him back, and Walker agreed to cut off all contact with Goodman beyond his ongoing financial obligations.
Lauryn Goodman has two love children with married footballer Walker, three-year-old son Cairo and a six-month-old daughter (pictured in Brighton last month).

Then, in early October 2022, the footballer traveled to London for groin surgery and met Goodman there. He confirmed that the couple ended up sleeping together.
Weeks later, Goodman broke the news that she was pregnant again, and Walker revealed that he almost “passed out” when she called during a training session.
Walker kept Goodman's pregnancy a secret from his wife, saying it was Kilner's own pregnancy that “was the last straw.”
While her footballer husband was away with his club, Goodman wrote to Kilner on December 27, 2023, revealing the truth about their relationship and the parentage of their second child.
Kilner, who is expecting her fourth child with the footballer, announced earlier this month that they were separating after 13 years.
The footballer has now moved out of his £2.5million home in Prestbury, while Kilner remains at the property with his three sons.
“My little boy goes to sleep with me every night and not having him… I'm used to being away in England for long periods of time,” he said, his voice breaking.
“We say goodnight on FaceTime. But knowing that I'm not with him because of my mistake – mistake is probably the wrong word, my decisions – that hurts me.”
The split was confirmed days before Web revealed he was the father of Goodman's daughter, known only as 'KW'.
Web can reveal Walker is fighting to save his marriage. The couple tied the knot in November 2021, but he continues to live separately from his wife after she kicked him out of their £2.4million marital home.
He will be present at all future baby scans and will continue to be there for their three children.
Kilner announced at least a temporary separation in early January, telling his Instagram followers: “Unfortunately, after many years of marriage and three wonderful children together, I have decided to take a break from Kyle.”
“I do not wish to comment further on the position. “For now, I ask that the privacy of me and my three young children be respected during this difficult time.”
Walker was branded “vile” and “selfish” by fans after he admitted to fathering a secret child during his marriage to his “best friend” Kilner (pictured together in 2019).
