Coleen Rooney opens up about Wayne’s cheating – saying ‘at least I know what he’s doing’
COLEEN Rooney has opened up about her husband Wayne’s infidelities – admitting ‘at least I know what is going on’.
The 37-year-old – who has been married to Wayne since 2008 – said the relationship was at times a ‘battle’.
During the interview, the star opened up on the difficulties she has faced in her marriage to the England footie ace, including the sports star’s infidelities.
Coleen said the pair don’t shy away from addressing their marital problems, stating: “We own it. I remember having a conversation about this [her marriage] with someone and I said, ‘Well, do you know what your wife gets up to every day and night? At least I know what my husband’s doing!’ It mightn’t be good, but I know. People lie to themselves.”
She admitted the pair had faced “hard times” in their 15 year marriage but insisted they had a love worth fighting for.
Coleen said to the magazine: “Obviously everybody knows. It’s been hard to go through it in the public eye but there has always been love there.
“If the love is gone then, you know, it’s pointless. But if not, you’ve got something to work for.”
The pair have been dogged by countless questions surrounding the state of their marriage.
Many of their difficult times have played out in the public eye with Wayne’s cheating being central to the pair’s problems.
Coleen added of their ‘battle’: “It’s been a battle at times.
“I look at [any] situation we’re in and think, ‘Could we move forward from that? Is it worth moving forward from that?’ I don’t just give up.”
The couple share four sons together and have not had a plain sailing marriage.
Wayne famously cheated on his wife when he partook in a threesome with two prostitutes, shortly after the birth of one of his children.
The women involved later went onto enjoy time in the spotlight with Helen Wood becoming a Big Brother champion whilst Jenny Thompson enjoyed a stint on MTV‘s Ex On The Beach in 2017.
The footballer was also arrested in 2017 for drink driving where he was enjoying the company of another woman whilst Coleen was pregnant with the pair’s fourth baby.
Elsewhere, the WAG opened up about her infamous Wagatha Christie court battle and told British Vogue: “I felt like everyone else has spoken about it except me. And it’s my story to tell.”
She said: “I feel like a lot of people still don’t understand what happened, from beginning to end.”
On writing the now infamous tweet – sent in October 2019 – 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.’”
The war of the WAGs first began when Coleen sensationally turned detective to uncover a friend who was telling tales to the media.
She spoke out about her experiences in October 2019, ending the tweet with the jaw-dropping line: ‘It’s… Rebekah Vardy‘s account’.
Rebekah sued Coleen for libel, denying she was the media source. But in July last year she lost the case when Coleen’s post was found to be ‘substantially true’ by a judge.
Rebekah had claimed the Instagram post had cost her a book deal and an endorsement for placenta capsules, while also acting as a lightning rod for people to abuse her on social media.
