In a recent Instagram story shared on Saturday, she showcased a diamond bracelet, captioning it: “Demure. Founded by Annie Walker & Sophie Haynes.”
Insiders suggest that this change signifies a positive shift in her relationship with the 34-year-old England and Manchester City forward.
However, tensions still exist after Kyle was allegedly spotted with two models just one day after Annie’s trip to Italy with their four children.
A source mentioned: “Annie was upset and expressed her feelings. Kyle claims nothing inappropriate occurred, stating he was simply asked to take the girls for a drive.”
“He certainly finds himself in a tricky position considering his history.”
“The insensitivity towards Annie and the optics of the situation have contributed to the distress.”
Despite recent events, reports indicate that Annie and Kyle are committed to addressing their differences and are currently “in the best place” they’ve ever been.
Discussions have even started about their ambitions to launch a joint brand.
The couple originally met when Annie was just 15 years old and celebrated their wedding in November 2021.
Nonetheless, their marriage began to fracture last January when it was disclosed that Kyle had fathered a second child with Lauryn Goodman.

Annie filed for divorce last August.
Sources have indicated that the divorce may involve financial settlements that could award her a significant share of his estimated £27 million fortune.
There’s a possibility they may continue cohabiting even after the divorce is finalized.
A source remarked: “Kyle’s move to Italy has provided the family an opportunity to reflect. At times, distance can strengthen relationships, and this could either bring them closer or confirm what many have suspected for some time.”
