KYLE Walker is reunited with estranged wife Annie and children after they jetted into Italy to watch him make his debut for Italian giants AC Milan.
The former Manchester City skipper, 34, is widely expected to make his bow in the Milan derby against arch rivals Inter on Sunday.

And model Annie, 31, will be in the iconic San Siro stadium to support him as he begins the next chapter in his glittering career.
He also has the support of England legend and former Milan favourite David Beckham who sent him a message congratulating him.
Becks, who scored twice in 33 games for the Serie A giants after joining on loan in 2009, urged him to “keep going”.
And the doting dad was beaming as he was reunited with Annie and the kids in Italy.
Loyal Annie jetted in with their four kids - Roman, 12, Riaan, nine, seven-year-old Reign and baby Rezon - on Friday afternoon after a turbulent week.
They boarded a £50,000 private jet flight from Manchester Airport and flew into Milan before being reunited with the England full-back.
Annie wheeled baby Rezon in a pushchair after they touched down before a delighted Kyle held the toddler in his arms and waved to fans.
The family were snapped together at the five-star Melia Milano hotel where Kyle has been staying since joining the Rossoneri.
His three older kids were dressed in matching £135 Fear of God tracksuits and were even pictured talking to Kyle’s new boss, Sergio Conceicao.
Kyle collected the family’s suitcases from the blacked out Mercedes people carrier and took them into the lobby.
The Three Lions ace laughed and joked with the kids inside as they checked in moments later.
A source said: “He was clearly overjoyed to see them all.
“It means the world to him that they’ll be there in the stadium to watch him make his debut for AC Milan.
“It’s a huge moment for him and the family. The kids are so excited.
“Their struggles are well documented but they’ve put it to one side for now to enjoy this moment as a family.”
They later enjoyed a meal together in front of a huge TV screen showing the latest match.
His mum and dad are also expected to be in the stadium today to watch him make his debut.
Kyle signed a loan at AC Milan until the end of the season after dramatically telling City he wanted to quit.
He flew out of the UK just over a week ago before being unveiled to the fans.
He then watched his new teammates fight back to clinch a stunning 3-2 injury time win against rivals Parma.
On Sunday he will pull on the iconic shirt for the first time - bearing the same number 32 as Becks - as his new side take on city rivals Inter.
Kyle said he was persuaded to join by fellow Englishman and Milan striker Tammy Abraham who has also joined on loan.
And he specifically requested his squad number - revealing: “I chose number 32 for David Beckham.”
Speaking ahead of his much-anticipated debut he added: “The Milan fans here are incredible. And hearing them sing ... it will be emotional.”
Kyle is the fourth Englishman now at the Rossoneri, joining on-loan Roma striker Tammy and more former Chelsea players - Fikayo Tomori and Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
Sources said he was desperate to escape the UK after he confessed to fathering a second child with his ex-mistress, Lauryn Goodman, 34.
The scandal has dogged the player for over a year.
He was kicked out of the family home in December 2023 and Annie, heavily pregnant with Rezon at the time, vowed it would be the last straw and filed for divorce last August.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, the footie ace apologised publicly and begged for forgiveness.
Walker also revealed he had come close to signing for the then German champions Bayern Munich in a £15million move.
In a candid interview, Kyle confessed: “Now you know the reason why, because I tried to escape.
“Did I want to leave City? No, of course I didn’t.
“We’re the best team in the world at the minute, but for me it was a chance to get away from England and the media I was going to get.
“I was acutely aware the clock was ticking. I came very close to moving. We were having conversations.
"The numbers were there. I was going to a great club, a massive club. But in the end I couldn’t go.
“There is pain and emotion at the moment but I can go to the house, pick the kids up, take them to school, I can take my little lad to football.
“I can do the normal stuff that makes me feel normal.”
NEW BEGINNINGS
Walker's loan move to AC Milan is expected to be made permanent in the Summer - bringing an end to his eight year career at the Etihad.
He has won 17 major honours with City since his £50million move from Tottenham in 2017.
His accolades include six Prem titles, two FA Cups, four League Cups and the Champions League.
The £150,000-a-week full-back was tipped for a move to the Saudi league to join Cristiano Ronaldo and Co.
But Kyle is said to be desperate to become the first ever black player to reach 100 caps for England - he currently has 93.
To reach the milestone, he would need to be on the plane for the World Cup next year.
A source said he refused to give up on that dream and chose AC Milan in the hope that it will boost his chances.
