After traveling to Italy to watch Kyle Walker make his debut for Italian powerhouse AC Milan, he was reunited with his estranged wife Annie and kids.
It is generally anticipated that the 34-year-old former Manchester City captain will make his debut on Sunday against bitter rivals Inter in the Milan derby.
Additionally, model Annie, 31, will be present at the renowned San Siro stadium to cheer him on as he embarks on the next phase of his illustrious career.
David Beckham, a former Milan favorite and England icon, also supports him and congratulated him in a message.
Becks, who joined the Serie A powerhouses on loan in 2009 and scored twice in 33 appearances, encouraged him to “keep going.”
When he was reunited with Annie and the children in Italy, the devoted father was beaming.

After a tumultuous week, devoted Annie flew in on Friday afternoon with their four children: Roman, 12, Riaan, 9, Reign, 7, and infant Rezon.
Before being reunited with the England full-back, they took a £50,000 private jet trip from Manchester Airport and traveled to Milan.
After landing, Annie moved baby Rezon in a stroller, and a happy Kyle waved to the crowd while holding the child in his arms.
The five-star Melia Milano hotel, where Kyle has been staying since joining the Rossoneri, is where the family was photographed together.
His three elder children were seen conversing with Sergio Conceicao, Kyle’s new employer while wearing matching £135 Fear of God tracksuits.
From the blacked-out Mercedes people carrier, Kyle retrieved the family’s bags and carried them into the foyer.
As they checked in a few seconds later, the Three Lions ace joked and laughed with the children inside.
He was ecstatic to see them all, according to a source.
“The fact that they will be present at the stadium to see his AC Milan debut means the world to him.
For him and the family, it’s a significant occasion. The children are giddy with anticipation.
“Although their difficulties are widely known, they have set them aside for the time being to cherish this family moment.”
Later, they ate dinner together while watching the most recent match on a large TV screen.
His parents are also anticipated to attend his debut at the stadium today.
After abruptly telling City that he wanted to leave, Kyle agreed to a loan at AC Milan through the conclusion of the season.
Just over a week ago, he took a plane out of the UK to see the fans.
After that, he witnessed his new teammates rally to defeat rivals Parma 3-2 in injury time.
When his new team plays city rivals Inter on Sunday, he will don the recognizable shirt for the first time, sharing Becks’ number 32.
Kyle claimed that Tammy Abraham, a striker for Milan and another Englishman, convinced him to sign on loan.
Furthermore, he made a specific request for his team number, disclosing: “I selected number 32 for David Beckham.”
“The Milan fans here are incredible,” he continued, speaking ahead of his eagerly awaited debut. And it will be moving to hear them sing.
Along with former Chelsea players Fikayo Tomori and Ruben Loftus-Cheek, as well as on-loan Roma striker Tammy, Kyle is the fourth Englishman to join the Rossoneri.
After confessing to fathering a second kid with his 34-year-old ex-mistress, Lauryn Goodman, he was reportedly in a desperate attempt to leave the UK.The footballer has been plagued by the issue for more than a year.
Annie, who was then significantly pregnant with Rezon, said that his expulsion from the family home in December 2023 would be the final straw and filed for divorce in August of last year.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, the football star openly expressed regret and asked for forgiveness.
Walker also disclosed that he had considered spending £15 million to join Bayern Munich, the German champions at the time.
Kyle admitted in an open interview: “Now you know why, because I tried to escape.”
“Did I wish to get out of City? No, I didn’t, of course.
“We currently have the best team in the world, but for me, it was an opportunity to escape England and the attention I would be receiving from the media.”
I knew quite well that time was running out. I was almost ready to move. We were talking.
“The figures were present. I was heading to a huge, fantastic club. However, I was ultimately unable to go.
.
“Although I can go to the house, pick up the kids, take them to school, and take my little boy to football, there is grief and emotion right now.
“I can perform the routine tasks that give me a sense of normalcy.”
BRAND NEWSWalker’s eight-year tenure at the Etihad is anticipated to come to an end in the summer when his loan move to AC Milan is made permanent.
Since leaving Tottenham for City in 2017 for £50 million, he has won 17 major awards.
Six Premier League crowns, two FA Cups, four League Cups, and the Champions League are among his many honors.
The full-back, who makes £150,000 a week, was predicted to join Cristiano Ronaldo and company in the Saudi league.
Kyle, who presently has 93 caps for England, is reportedly anxious to become the first black player to reach 100.
He would have to board the aircraft for the World Cup the next year in order to reach the milestone.
