To celebrate Wayne’s 40th birthday, Coleen Rooney took to Instagram to post a loving and heartfelt birthday message to his wife.
Coleen Rooney is not known for posting heartfelt messages on social media. But in a bid to mark the milestone birthday of husband Wayne, the I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here runner-up stepped out of character and posted a loving message.
Taking to Instagram, the mum of four posted a loved up picture of the pair together holding a cocktail. She captioned the post simply saying: “Happy 40th birthday @waynerooney …love you xxx.”
The couple has known each other since they were 12 years old, but they started dating when they were 16 years old. Their relationship had grown to the point where both Wayne and Coleen tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in Portofino, Italy, in 2008.
On the back of Coleen’s message celebrity friends and family rushed to the comment section and penned their congratulations. Celebrity pals including actress Claire Sweeny, Coronation Street star Alan Halsall and former Premiere League footballer Jamie Carragher shared their well wishes.
The most recent episode of Wayne’s BBC podcast was to mark his 40th birthday. He is seen joined by boxing champ and I’m A Celeb star Tony Bellew, who arrives to the show with a birthday cake.
Alex Bruce and Darron Gibson, Wayne’s former teammates, were also present. You could be forgiven for thinking he would be partying hard with friends and family with such a historic birthday.
However, it appears as though his years spent traveling alone are unquestionably gone. Wayne will be coaching children in Dubai, according to his agent and close friend, Paul Stretford.
In an interview with the Mirror, he revealed: “Coleen has been such a rock for Wayne and the family generally, and now they can spend more time together and enjoy that aspect of their life. I would say at 40 he’s ended up very much in a good place, whereas a lot of us at 40 are thinking, ‘Oh, well, that’s my young days gone, it’s all downhill from here’.”
Do you know what he’ll be up to this birthday, he asked? In Dubai, he’ll be teaching children. He can take Coleen and the kids for half-term, but what he’s doing is he’s got his boots on and is playing with the kids there, where he loves best.
Wayne thanked Coleen for her unwavering support last month by openly revealing how his addiction to alcohol had destroyed his life.
Appearing on the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcasts when made his shock admission. He told his fellow sportsman: “I wanted to go out and enjoy my time with my friends and having a night out. It got to a point where I went too far, of course it did. That was a moment in my life where I was struggling massively. With alcohol. Massively struggling and I didn’t think I could turn to anyone.”
He continued, “I didn’t really want to because I didn’t want to put that burden on anyone.” I can recall putting eyes drops and chewing gum in before beginning my training. I only drank for two days straight. I went to training and scored two goals over the weekend before going back and drinking for two days straight.
Coleen is massive, Wayne continued. We were two Croxteth children when we were two, and we obviously started dating, married, and have children later. But when she was 17 years old, she was aware of my thoughts and suspicions. I adored football, you know? I had a passion for football, but I also cherished going out for a night. She has been able to control that since she was very young. Not controlled, but it greatly assisted in that regard.
He continued, “And you’re sometimes like, “What are you doing? ” Why do you keep saying, “Don’t do this, don’t do that,” you ask? I firmly believe that I would be dead if she hadn’t been there. That is what I think. I’ve made mistakes in the past, which are well documented and whatever, but she keeps me on the right path. She has worked on it for 20 years.
