She is now set to fight for half of his £27m fortune as their relationship “turns ugly”.
Sources said they are no longer on speaking terms and the Manchester City defender, 34, is also consulting lawyers.
We understand the papers were delivered a few weeks ago as tensions rose following his love affair with ex-lover Lauryn Goodman.
A source said: “Kyle was stunned when he got the papers.
“He’s spoken to Annie about them and they’re discussing the next steps.
“It doesn’t necessarily mean they’re going to divorce.
“This is as much about Annie flexing her muscles as anything else.
“She wants Kyle to know she’s not kidding. But if this is a bluff, she could be in trouble.”
The couple split on Christmas Day after the full-back was revealed to be fathering a second child with Instagram influencer, Lauryn.
She revealed the truth in a text message to Annie – and the couple have been fighting to save their relationship ever since.
They were childhood sweethearts and met in Sheffield as teenagers, but didn’t tie the knot until November 2021 in an intimate ceremony at Mottram Hall in Cheshire.
The wedding took everyone by surprise – not least because of the string of sex scandals the player was involved in following his £50m move to City from Spurs in 2017.
First, Ex on the Beach reality TV star Laura Brown said that she and Kyle have gone out in his Bentley on more than one occasion.
Annie threw him out of their spacious Cheshire home, but they got back together.

She gave him the boot again when he revealed Lauryn was going to bear his child.
He moved into an £8,000-a-month flat nearby and was then caught breaking the Covid quarantine rules by having an orgy with two whores.
In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Annie said: “What he did to me and our children is obscene.
“I can’t put it into words.
“He was unfaithful with a reality TV star at the end of March last year.” I found out a month later and it broke me.
“He begged me to take him back, but in July he was at it again.” Not even three months later, someone was pregnant. My youngest was one. Who does that?
“I don’t think I’ll ever be the same because of what he did.
“I tried to hate him, but how can I hate a man my children love so much?

“I knew there was always the possibility that Kyle would do it again, but getting someone pregnant was my worst nightmare.”

They married in secret in front of a handful of guests, but less than a year later he cheated on her again with Lauryn.
The Instagram influencer (34) became pregnant after they met in London while he was awaiting groin surgery ahead of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
Last July she gave birth to a baby girl, Kinara – because Kyle begged her not to reveal the truth to Annie.
He even considered leaving Manchester City for Bayern Munich in a desperate attempt to avoid the looming scandal.
But on December 27, while playing for City in a 3-1 win against Everton at Goodison Park, Annie’s phone lit up with a message.
It read, “Hey, this is Lauryn. I just wanted to give you a quick heads up that Kyle is the father of our daughter.”

Annie, who was heavily pregnant with the couple’s fourth son at the time, announced their shock split two weeks later.
Kyle moved into a rented villa near their home in Cheshire and opened up about his embarrassment in an exclusive interview with The Sun.
He admitted: “What I did was terrible and I take full responsibility.” I made idiotic choices and idiotic decisions.”
Annie gave birth to their fourth son, Rezon, in April with Kyle at her bedside.
But behind the scenes, the couple were fighting a losing battle to save their marriage amid furious arguments.
Photos of them together at the Euros this summer illustrated the wide gap between them.
Kyle returned to the UK with his Three Lions teammates after the 2-1 defeat by Spain in the final.
But hours later he appeared in court in a two-day legal battle over the money with Lauryn.
He and Annie were on holiday in Turkey and in their luxury cottage on the Welsh coast as they discussed the future.
They wavered between staying together and divorcing before a judge overseeing a hearing on his financial remedy handed down a guilty verdict.
He concluded that Lauryn used the player as an “open checkbook” and took advantage of his desire to keep Kinara’s paternity a secret.
Friends of the couple said the legal battle had “motivated” them against a common enemy.
But Annie fell through the cracks after court documents revealed for the first time the huge sums Kyle was paying Lauryn.
Kyle increased her housing budget from £1.85m to £2.4m after threatening to move within 10 minutes of his Cheshire home.
He paid £48,000 for fitted wardrobes and a media screen, £75,000 for a fit-out fund, £9,115 for 14 CCTV cameras, £5,650 for an alarm and £52,164 for curtains and blinds.
A furious Annie demanded half of his fortune as part of a “financial divorce” in a bid to secure her future and that of their children.
A spokeswoman for Kyle and Annie has been contacted for comment.
