Gary Neville & Emma Hadfield

Gary Neville retired from professional football in 2011 and, after a brief foray into management, transitioned to his current role as a pundit on Sky Sports. Known for his outspoken views, Neville has sparked plenty of debate among viewers. However, one person who remains unwavering in her support is his wife, Emma Hadfield. The couple first crossed paths in 2004, when Emma was working as a shop assistant. Three years later, they tied the knot and have been inseparable ever since, raising two children together. Early in their relationship, Emma pursued holistic therapy as a student, though she appears to have stepped away from the profession in recent years.

Kyle Walker & Annie Kilner

Kyle Walker is widely regarded as one of England’s top right-backs and plays a pivotal role in Manchester City’s success. Known for his defensive prowess, his primary focus is shutting down threats at the back, while his secondary role involves delivering pinpoint crosses from the wing to create goal-scoring opportunities. However, it seems his personal life has been less steady than his on-field performance. Walker is engaged to Annie Kilner, but their relationship has faced its share of turbulence. The couple, who began dating around 2010, split in 2019 before reconciling the following year when Walker proposed with a stunning $280,000 ring.
