Coleen Rooney breaks her silence on husband Wayne's many affairs

‘I forgive him but it wasn’t acceptable’: Tearful Coleen Rooney breaks her silence on husband Wayne’s many infidelities – as footballer reveals long lasting impact of prostitutes scandal

  • Coleen, 35, admitted that although she was willing to forgive her husband she did not find his behaviour acceptable 
  • Wayne, 35, was first caught with prostitutes in 2004 and after being forgiven by Coleen he was then found to have visited more in 2010 
  • Since this time Wayne has been embroiled in several other cheating scandals – which he has denied  

Coleen Rooney has broken her silence on husband Wayne’s many public cheating scandals, branding his behaviour ‘unacceptable’. 

The 35-year-old WAG married Wayne in 2008 and the couple have four sons – but their relationship has been marred with several claims of infidelity.

Addressing the reports in the trailer for Rooney, an Amazon Prime documentary on the life and career of the footballer, the couple spoke candidly about the impact it had on them. 

Reflecting on Wayne’s infamous romp with three prostitutes back in 2002, Coleen said: ‘I knew groups Wayne was hanging around with – together with alcohol – not good. I forgive him but it wasn’t acceptable.’

Wayne, 35, then noted that he is still suffering from the aftereffects of the scandal, admitting: ‘People still look at me in a different way. 

‘For me it’s important that people remember me for who I am rather than what I’ve done.’ 

Wayne and Coleen began dating aged 16, but had known each other since they were 12 when Rooney played football against her brothers in the garages behind her house.

They went on to marry in Italy in 2008 after six years of dating, and have four sons – Kai, 11, Klay, eight, Kit, five, and Cass, three.

Their relationship has been marred with various cheating scandals – with the footballer making national headlines when he was found to have visited three proustites as a teenager. 

In 2004 after Wayne, then aged 18, moved to Manchester United, it was discovered that the teenager paid £140 for sex with prostitute Charlotte Glover, 21.

It was also claimed that at a brothel in Liverpool he slept with Gina McCarrick, then 37, and grandmother Patricia Tierney, then 48, who wore a rubber catsuit and was known as the ‘Auld Slapper’. 

Devastated Coleen stood by her man but didn’t comment publicly on the claims – though later admitted that when the scandal came out she hadn’t yet slept with Wayne herself.

The pair worked through their troubles and wed four years later, though their newlywed bliss was short-lived, as it emerged in 2010 that the footballer had slept with two more prostitutes.    

Wayne was found to be having secret hotel sessions with £1000-a-night prostitute Jenny Thompson and fellow call girl Helen Wood while Coleen was pregnant with their first son, Kai.

Their last meeting was in October 2009, a month before Coleen gave birth.

FROM DRUNKEN HOTEL CHATS TO ROMPS WITH GRANS: A TIMELINE OF WAYNE’S CHEATING SCANDALS

2004: Wayne, then aged 18, paid £140 for sex with prostitute Charlotte Glover, 21. He also slept with Gina McCarrick, then 37, and grandmother Patricia Tierney, then 48, who wore a catsuit and was known as the ‘Auld Slapper’.

2009: The footballer pays for several hotel room romps with £1000-a-night prostitute Jenny Thompson before paying for a threesome with fellow call girl Helen Wood while Coleen was pregnant with their first son, Kai.

2017: Wayne was alleged to have enjoyed a ‘kiss and cuddle’ with lettings agent Laura Simpson before being arrested for drink driving while Coleen was pregnant with their fourth child.

2019: Wayne’s marriage was ‘hanging by a thread’ after the footballer was spotted drinking with barmaid Vicki Rosiek until 2.30am.

Later that same year e was pictured at 5.30am in a Vancouver hotel with a mystery woman following a night out with his DC United teammates but insisted it was an innocent exchange with a fan wanting his autograph.

2021: Wayne hit headlines once again this year after pictures emerged of the star partying and falling asleep in a hotel room with young women.

 

 

In 2017, Wayne was alleged to have enjoyed a ‘kiss and cuddle’ with another woman before being arrested for drink driving while Coleen was pregnant with their fourth child. 

The footballer was charged with drink-driving after being caught behind the wheel of a VW Beetle belonging to a woman he picked up after a 10-hour drinking session while his pregnant wife and three sons were on holiday.  

Lettings agent worker Laura Simpson, 29, said the pair had ‘kissed and cuddled’ and she would have ‘s*****d’ him if he had not been pulled over by the police. 

Coleen then flew back from Spain with their children and wrote a candid Facebook post about the scandal.   

Scandal: In 2004, Wayne, then aged 18 paid £140 for sex with three prostitutes including grandmother Patricia Tierney, then 48 (pictured) 

She penned: ‘Before all the stories begin, Yes, I have put my wedding ring on……. A lot of people will be saying ‘you don’t have to explain yourself, don’t feel like you have to do this’ etc, I know I don’t, but I am and I want to.

‘It didn’t feel right wearing my ring, I see it as a sign of commitment and I was unsure what was happening. I don’t always wear my ring day to day, especially when I go the gym.

Insisting she is a ‘strong person’ and doesn’t need people to feel sorry for her, Coleen set the record straight once and for all about her marriage.

Another fling: It emerged in 2010 the footballer had slept with two more prostitutes, including £1000-a-night prostitute Jenny Thompson (pictured)

She continued: ‘A few people are probably thinking am stupid for staying in my marriage. I am not stupid, I know my own mind and it’s something I want to try and work on.

‘Before the headlines start…. No, I’m not taking Wayne back as he’s never left. Yes, it has been a s**t time, and yes, time was spent apart and I thought my marriage might have been at an end. 

‘I’m not going to list Wayne’s good qualities as a person as I don’t think he deserves it at this time but one thing is that he is a brilliant dad.

‘He’s made silly and selfish mistakes, some he’s learnt from, some obviously not. However maybe that will change? In life, you don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow.’

Dalliance: Wayne was found to be having secret hotel sessions with call girl Helen Wood (pictured) while Coleen was pregnant with their first son, Kai.

Referencing the night of Wayne’s arrest for drink driving, Coleen appeared to blame the influence of alcohol for his behaviour.

She wrote: ‘One thing I do know is that too much alcohol on a night out is a dangerous and a lot of stupid mistakes are made and things are said under the influence.

‘I would never trust ANYONE who has had a lot of alcohol, it changes some people drastically.

Coleen also hit back at fan speculation she was staying with Wayne for his money, insisting that love and family is what is keeping them together.

She penned: ‘It’s my decision …. do I love Wayne … yes I do. If I didn’t then I wouldn’t be trying to make it work. I know I would be fine on my own, with just me and my children, but I don’t want to live like that, I want to try and continue our marriage and live as a family, because that’s what I want to do.

‘I’m not saying everything is fine and forgotten about, but we are as good as can be at this point, I’m not the type of person to put a show on and say we’re all loved-up….I’m just real.’

COLEEN’S STATEMENT AFTER WAYNE’S NGI:

Before all the stories begin, Yes, I have put my wedding ring on……. A lot of people will be saying “you don’t have to explain yourself, don’t feel like you have to do this” etc,I know I don’t, but I am and I want to.

It didn’t feel right wearing my ring, I see it as a sign of commitment and I was unsure what was happening. I don’t always wear my ring day to day… So, if I don’t always have it on, maybe it’s just because am going the gym or haven’t put it on before the school run!!

A few people have been feeling sorry for me, please don’t. I appreciate getting cared about, however, I am a strong person, I don’t feel sorry for myself. Also a few people are probably thinking am stupid for staying in my marriage. I am not stupid, I know my own mind and it’s something I want to try and work on.

Before the headlines start…. No, I’m not taking Wayne back as he’s never left. Yes, it has been a s**t time, and yes, time was spent apart and I thought my marriage might have been at an end.  

I’m not going to list his good qualities as a person as I don’t think he deserves it at this time but one thing is that he is a brilliant dad. He’s made silly and selfish mistakes, some he’s learnt from, some obviously not. However maybe that will change?

In life, you don’t know what’s going to happen tomorrow. But one thing I do know is that too much alcohol on a night out is a dangerous and a lot of stupid mistakes are made and things are said under the influence. I would never trust ANYONE who has had a lot of alcohol, it changes some people drastically.

I do have a private life and we are real people which is sometimes overlooked. We do have worries, troubles and obstacles in life we tackle and go through without anyone knowing and we also have fantastic fun times making memories with our loved ones without people knowing. To answer a lot of people, not everything in our life is money related. People think when you earn a lot of money everything is fine, yes there are advantages, but this isn’t everything in life and it’s doesn’t always make people happy. People are everything, and people are what make me the happiest in life. We surround ourselves with friends and family who are genuine, kind and caring people.

It’s my decision …. do I love Wayne … yes I do. If I didn’t then I wouldn’t be trying to make it work. I know I would be fine on my own, with just me and my children, but I don’t want to live like that, I want to try and continue our marriage and live as a family, because that’s what I want to do. I’m not saying everything is fine and forgotten about, but we are as good as can be at this point, I’m not the type of person to put a show on and say we’re all loved-up….I’m just real.

Coleen’s emotional Facebook post was met with an overwhelmingly positive response from her fans, who wished her luck and praised her for her ‘brave’ decision.

The family then moved to the States, but Wayne was embroiled in another scandal in 2019, with reports that their marriage was ‘hanging by a thread’ after Wayne was spotted drinking with barmaid Vicki Rosiek until 2.30am. 

The January incident came just weeks after he was arrested for being drunk at an airport in Washington DC.

Fast forward to the summer, and Wayne was embroiled in another cheating scandal in August after he was pictured at 5.30am in a Vancouver hotel with a mystery woman following a night out with his DC United teammates.

Another one: In 2019 there were reports that their marriage was ‘hanging by a thread’ after Wayne was spotted drinking with barmaid Vicki Rosiek until 2.30am

Wayne insisted that nothing untoward had happened, however, tweeting: ‘Nothing happened between me and any girl on that night in Vancouver. I did not enter the lift alone with the girl pictured in the hotel foyer.

‘The girl pictured in the club was simply one of many who innocently asked for autographs and pictures.’

Wayne then hit headlines once again this year after pictures emerged of the star partying and falling asleep in a hotel room with young women.  

The married father-of-four later admitted he ‘made a mistake’ and apologised to his family and Derby County after he paid the three party girls £1 to buy the copyright to the images after accusing them of blackmail, prompting them to offer an apology.

Innocent: Wayne was embroiled in another cheating scandal in August 2019 after he was pictured at 5.30am in a Vancouver hotel with a mystery woman but insisted it was innocent 

Wayne told Sky Sports News after he managed Derby to a friendly victory over Real Betis on Wednesday: ‘I made a mistake.

‘I went to a private party with two of my friends and from me, I’d like to apologise to my family and the club for the images which were going round and I want to move forward on this.

‘I’m grateful to Derby County for giving me this opportunity to get this club back to where it belongs, and I’ll do everything in my power to make sure I do that.

‘It’s dealt with. I’m looking forward to moving forward and preparing for another game.’

Wayne and Coleen’s torrid relationship history is set to be examined in Rooney, which will launch on Prime Video in early 2022. 

The film sets out to give unprecedented access to one of football’s greatest strikers as Rooney recounts stories from some of the most important moments of his life, with testimonies from the people closest to him, including family, friends and his wife. 

Featuring intimate interviews with footballing greats such as David Beckham, Gary Neville, Rio Ferdinand, and Thierry Henry, they illustrate first-hand accounts of Rooney as a teammate and an opponent.

Wayne Rooney admits his father would ‘give me a slap’ during big arguments when he was growing up, as former England captain opens up on his tough upbringing in Liverpool where he had ‘to fight for everything’  

Wayne Rooney has revealed how he was ‘slapped’ by his father during a tough childhood which saw him ‘brought up to fight for everything’.

The former England captain also admitted in a candid new documentary that he ‘weren’t the nicest kid’ and ‘had a lot of fights when I was younger’, including with his own father.

The ‘slaps’ he suffered at home and his fighting on the streets of Croxteth in Liverpool forged Rooney’s notoriously hard playing style, which repeatedly saw him sent off for impulsive violent acts on the pitch, including stamping on the genitals of Portugal’s Ricardo Carvalho in the 2006 World Cup quarter-final.

Rooney’s dad, Thomas, is asked in the film whether he had ‘a switch’ – suggesting a moment where he would lose control and become violent – to which he replies: ‘Yeah, more than likely.’

Gary Neville, who played with Rooney for club and country, also admits that he saw Rooney throwing punches.

Rooney burst into the Premier League with Everton aged just 16 in 2002 and instantly wowed the country with his once-in-a-generation talent – and aggressive physicality – and consequently lived his entire adult life under intense public scrutiny. He went on to become a legend for Manchester United and England, captaining both as his fiery temperament became calmer in the latter part of his playing career.

Now the manager of crisis-stricken Derby County, Rooney, 35, has opened up about those early years growing up in the notorious area of Croxteth, where he developed his extraordinary skills and fighting spirit.

In the new documentary, which will be available on Amazon Prime Video early next year, Rooney himself and some of the biggest names in the game, including Thierry Henry, David Beckham, Gary Neville and Rio Ferdinand, have given their verdict on the hard but genius player who graced the English top flight for 16 years.

‘I was brought up to fight for my place to play, fight for everything. That will never leave me,’ says Rooney.

‘The area I grew up, Croxteth, if you are from there you don’t feel it is a violent place.’

Croxteth has hit the national headlines for drugs, guns and killings many times, culminating in the appalling murder of 11-year-old Rhys Jones, who was shot dead in 2007 as he walked home from football training.

LATEST BLOCKBUSTER

Amazon Prime Video is continuing an impressive strand of sporting documentaries with ‘Rooney’.

When the film is streamed in early 2022, it will follow other sports blockbusters, including, All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur; All or Nothing: Manchester City Sir Alex Ferguson: Never Give In Andy Murray: Resurfacing and The Test.

The latest film, directed by Bafta award-winning director Matt Smith, examines Wayne Rooney’s career and recounts stories from some of the most important moments of his life.

There is testimony from his wife, Coleen, and the documentary reflects on the player’s tough upbringing in Liverpool and how it has shaped his career.

It deals with some of the highest and most challenging moments in the life of England’s record goal scorer.

‘Rooney is an honest and intimate documentary about one of the country’s most famous sports stars who has faced untold pressure from a very young age,’ said Martin Backlund, Head of Content, Prime Video UK & Nordics.

‘Prime members will get to hear from Wayne himself on the events and moments that shaped who he was as a player and who he is as a man.’

Prime Video is available in the UK and Ireland. It costs £7.99 a month or £79 per year and offers a free 30-day trial. For information go toamazon.co.uk/prime

It was on these streets that Rooney learned to play and to stand up for himself. It was a combination that made for an irresistible force on the pitch, possessing finesse and ferocity in equal measure

‘You looked at him, you knew he wanted to destroy everything that was in front of him,’ says Thierry Henry, himself a legend after scoring 228 goals for Arsenal in all competitions.

The film has been directed by Matt Smith, who was also behind the Bafta award-winning BBC production, Rio Ferdinand: Being Mum and Dad, and the feature-length documentary, David Beckham: For the Love of The Game.

In this latest work, which is simply called Rooney, the former Manchester United star reveals it was outside and inside the home that he had to prove himself as a youngster.

Rooney confirmed that he and his father sometimes came to blows.

‘I have had full-on arguments with me dad and he’d give me a slap,’ reflects Rooney.

‘I weren’t the nicest kid. I had a lot of fights when I was younger.’

Prime Video have released a trailer to promote the film. It opens with Clive Tyldesley’s famous commentary of Rooney’s first Premier League goal, a spectacular strike that ended Arsenal’s 30-match unbeaten run, in October 2002: ‘Remember the name, Wayne Rooney!’

Rooney went on to make sure no one forgot, winning the Premier League, FA Cup, Champions League, League Cup, Europa League, and FIFA Club World Cup, as well as starring for United and England, becoming the record goalscorer for both with 253 for the Red Devils and a further 53 for his country.

The film also includes footage of a young Rooney rampaging down the touchline with the ball at his feet in a game of youth football on a park pitch, and a still image of him as a belligerent youngster, flicking a V-sign at the camera.

Many scenes are cut with clips of Rooney today, pummelling a punchbag in the garage at his home. Rooney trained as a boxer when he was younger and reveals quick hands in the film.

Famously he marked a goal against Tottenham in March 2015 with a boxing celebration and feigning a knockout after a video emerged of him sparring in the kitchen with his friend, Phil Bardsley, who was then at Stoke City. Rooney was actually the one on the receiving end of the KO blow, with Bardsley knocking his friend out cold with one punch.

For Rooney, who played for United from 2004 to 2017, nothing changed from how he played the game as a youngster, even when he was performing on the biggest stages of world football.

Celebrations: Rooney famously celebrated a goal against Spurs in 2015 by throwing shadow punches and feigning a knockout. It followed video emerging of him being KO’d by friend Phil Bardsley

‘He played like he was a street kid,’ reflects ex-United defender Neville, who shared seven seasons with Rooney at Old Trafford.

‘Of course, he threw the odd punch, but I never saw him throw a punch where no one deserved it.’

But that was only one part of Rooney’s make-up and his team-mates at United and England were in awe of the Liverpudlian lad who hit the heights of the game.

‘Listen, the kid was genius, man,’ said Rio Ferdinand, who made 312 top-flight appearances for United from 2002 to 2014. ‘He was an unbelievable player.’

‘He is without doubt one of the best players this country has ever had,’ added one of England’s all-time greats and fellow United legend, David Beckham, who was capped by his country 115 times – only five fewer than Rooney himself. 

Rooney scored some incredible goals in his glittering career, including this overhead kick which was a late winner against United’s fierce rivals Manchester City in February 2011

Rooney has won a lot of plaudits since he took over as manager at ailing Derby County. The Rams are bottom of the Championship with two points after suffering a 12-point deduction – now under appeal – with the club in administration.

Rooney is showing a different side to his character to that seen by most fans during his playing days. He is coaxing performances out of the Derby players in the most difficult circumstances and the Rams appear determined to make a bid for second-tier survival.

‘For me it is important that people remember me for who I am, not what I have done,’ says Rooney, an Everton fan.

And he concludes: ‘Football will be a part of my life until the day I die, whether I like it or not.’

Rooney also reflects on his family life and past controversies in the documentary
