Annie Kilner, the soon-to-be ex-wife of Manchester City and England footballer Kyle Walker, has set tongues wagging after being photographed in the company of businessman Tunde Ogunsina at the wedding of her close friend Taylor Ward. The glamorous event, held at a luxurious villa in Lake Como, Italy, saw Kilner and Ogunsina appear together, sparking speculation about the nature of their relationship.
Annie Kilner with Ogunsina at Taylor Ward’s wedding:
Kilner, 31, dazzled in a sleek black evening dress as she attended the wedding of Ward, daughter of Real Housewives star Dawn Ward, to footballer Riyad Mahrez on July 5. However, it was Ogunsina, a 30-year-old PR agency owner, who captured much of the attention when he posted a cryptic photo of the pair to his Instagram on Wednesday.
“The hardest launch you ever did see,” Ogunsina captioned the image, leading fans to speculate whether this was an announcement of a new romantic relationship. The post quickly attracted a flurry of comments from fans, with one writing: “Now if I didn’t know you, I’d be congratulating you on bagging the hottest wife of the century, but I do, so congrats on bagging the hottest pic of the century instead.”
Despite the buzz around the pair, sources close to Kilner and Ogunsina have denied any romantic involvement. A representative told MailOnline, that the two have been friends for years and there’s certainly no romantic connection between them.
Still, followers weren’t convinced, with another commenting: “The Queen deserves a King. Please treat her right, she deserves the world and more.” The timing of the photo’s release has only heightened speculation as Kilner’s divorce proceedings from Walker, with whom she shares three children, are reportedly getting underway.
Kilner and Ogunsina were among the high-profile guests at the black-tie ceremony, which took place on the eve of England’s Euro 2024 quarter-final match against Switzerland. The idyllic Italian setting, complete with stunning lake views, provided the perfect backdrop for the intimate wedding celebrations.
As rumors swirl, both Kilner and Ogunsina have remained tight-lipped about the speculation surrounding their relationship. For now, it appears that their friendship—at least publicly—remains just that.
