After decades of negative headlines, Coleen Rooney has finally turned the tables on her marriage and left husband Wayne in ‘awe’ of her
Coleen Rooneyis used to her romance with husband Wayne making headlines for all the wrong reasons – as the former footballer has been accused of cheating on his wife numerous times.
Now the couple’s tumultuous 21-year relationship has been unmasked once again for Coleen’s explosive new Disney+ documentary: Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story, which dropped last week and focuses on Coleen’s 2022 court battle with Rebekah Vardy. The three-part series City FC makes it clear that Coleen, 37, who’s been cruelly branded a “doormat” in the past for staying with her childhood sweetheart, has transformed from a heartbroken WAG to an empowered businesswoman and mum-of-four, who calls the shots in her own life – including her 18-year marriage to Wayne, 37.
THRIVING
And now, a source reveals how their rocky romance has turned around for good.
“Coleen’s in the best place she’s been for years. All of her projects – landing the cover of Vogue, releasing her own memoir and the mega-deal with Disney – have of course been a huge confidence and morale boost,” the insider says.
“This in turn has had a huge effect on her marriage to Wayne. She’s been telling pals they are better than ever and it’s as if their relationship has reached an entirely new level after a nightmare few years.
“Wayne has been in awe of Coleen, watching how graciously and incredibly she’s handled everything while continuing to be the very best mum and wife. Watching her flourish has clearly been the wake-up call he needed.”
Fans have relished in the documentary, hailing Coleen, whose tweet in which she accused Becky of leaking stories in October 2019 has gone down in showbiz history. While Rebekah left the media furore behind her and jetted off on holiday with her kids – insisting with a selfie that she was “living [her] best life” – there was an outpouring of support for Coleen, with fans branding her “the smartest WAG of all” and referring to her as “true inspiration” and a “classy lady”.
LOYALTY
Typically private, Coleen’s confidence was clear, warning Becky, “Don’t play games with a girl who can play better”.
In the documentary, she also candidly speaks out about how much the trial had affected her relationship with her family – Wayne and their four sons, Kai, 13, Klay, 10, Kit, seven, and five-year-old Cass – and shares memories of her and Wayne’s early years.
