SHAMED Kyle Walker has moved back in with his estranged wife Annie Kilner.
The Man City ace, 34, was booted out at Christmas for fathering a second child with ex-mistress Lauryn Goodman.
He then rented a mansion nearby after issuing a grovelling public apology for his actions.
But despite his betrayal, the England defender has returned to the family’s £4million home in Cheshire on a “trial basis”.
The couple — who married in 2022 and have four children together — decided to give it another go following a series of summer heart-to-hearts.
But model Annie, 31, remains deeply scarred by the ordeal and has told pals she and Kyle are not back together.
A source said: “It reached a stage where they had to make a decision on their relationship.
“It was unfair on everyone to drag it out any longer.
“They either had to make a go of it or move on and they’ve decided to see how things go.
“It’s on a trial basis.
“Kyle’s been back for over a week now and he’s sleeping in a separate bed on the third floor of the house.
“Annie is determined to do what she thinks is best for her kids.”
Another told The Sun: “This year has been the toughest of their lives.
“There is still a huge amount of upset and it will be a work in progress for many years.
“But if they are to stand a chance, they both need to give it a go.”
