Coleen Rooney says Rebekah Vardy court battle ‘took its toll’ on marriage to Wayne
COLEEN Rooney has revealed that the Rebekah Vardy court battle ‘took its toll’ on her marriage to husband Wayne.
In October 2019 Coleen first accused Becky of leaking stories to the press about her and went on to win a High Court legal battle with Becky last summer after the latter accused Coleen of libel.
Coleen has now broken her silence on the court battle in September’s edition of British Vogue.
The WAG, who looked incredible posing for snaps for the cover of the publication, has opened up about how it affected her relationship with footballer Wayne.
Coleen said: “He was supportive, you know, but it took its toll.
“He kept saying all the way throughout it: ‘Don’t worry, you’ll be fine.’
“But there were certain moments where we did have disagreements. Not over the case, but he would get annoyed with me because I was quite short-tempered.
“You know. I didn’t have time for him.”
Wayne was seen supporting his wife at London’s High Court for Coleen’s legal battle with Rebekah in May last year.
The WAG also admitted that Wayne was unprepared for the appearances.
She confessed: “It was the day before we were going to London and I was like, ‘Where are all your suits?’
“He was like ‘They don’t fit me.’ So I’m like ‘s***!’ It had to be a quick fix in Marks & Spencer.”
Coleen and Wayne, who tied the knot in 2008, have been together since they were 16.
The couple share four sons – Kai, 13, Klay, 10, Kit, seven, and Cass, five.
Coleen told Vogue‘s September digital issue: “I feel like a lot of people still don’t understand what happened, from beginning to end.
On writing the now infamous tweet, she said: “I like a pen and paper – a pencil and a rubber, actually, so I can rub it out.
“So I started writing what I wanted to say and then the next morning I put it out there. That was the start of something that I would never have expected.
“All these messages of support coming in,” she says. “Then I thought, ‘Oh, my God, this has gone extreme.’”
