The twists and turns of her private life have made fascinating headlines for decades, and last week Coleen Rooney excited fans by announcing the release of her much-awaited tell-all autobiography.

The mum-of-four’s new book My Account promises the “inside story” on her infamous 2022 Wagatha Christie trial against nemesis Rebekah Vardy, but will also take an “intimate” look behind the scenes of her tumultuous relationship with husband Wayne.

This isn’t the first time Coleen, 37, has revealed details about her well-documented rocky marriage to Wayne, also 37, recently telling British Vogue magazine that their marriage had been a “battle at times”. Addressing his infidelities, she insisted, “We’ve never backed away from it.”

However, a source claims US football club manager Wayne has mixed feelings over the prospect of Coleen once again opening up about the strains in their marriage, due to the backlash they’ve previously received.

“They’re in a good place now and it’s widely known they have been through a difficult time in the past. Their marriage has been under immense strain even in recent times, but they have come out stronger,” the source said.

“Whenever his infidelities are mentioned, understandably people start talking about it, which leads to lots of unkind comments online. He would rather leave it in the past.

“The last thing Wayne wants is to get flak from the guys at work over his personal life,” they continued. “Footballers love banter and, as the boss, he doesn’t want to be at the centre of any jokes. This book will obviously bring back bad memories and open up old wounds, and Wayne isn’t keen on more marriage bombshells being talked about.”
