Coleen feels 'like a single mum'

Coleen Rooney and her football player-turned-manager husband Wayne have had their ups and downs over the years, but they've always weathered the storms.

Now the pair are entering a whole new phase of their lives as Wayne's high-powered new job as head coach of Plymouth Argyle is expected to take him away from his wife and four kids for substantial periods of time.

The couple, both 38, who tied the knot in Italy in 2008 and live in Cheshire, have certainly been used to their busy careers keeping them apart. So, no doubt, they will cope this time round, too, as Wayne gets stuck into his new role in Devon.

A source has told new, "Coleen was spotted down in Plymouth the other weekend watching Wayne's team-but she knows that's not going to happen again for a while now the kids are back at school and all have commitments at weekends."

They added, "Wayne has been in Plymouth for about two months and it's been going OK for them as a family, because Coleen and the boys have been able to spend more time down there as they've been on school holidays. But now it's back to normal and Coleen says she's back to practically feeling like a single mum." During a press conference in July, Wayne confirmed that his wife wouldn't be moving to the city when he took up the reins.

Asked about the decision by sports reporter Amy Christophers, who was also on Married At First Sight in 2021, Wayne replied, "I think my children are at a really important stage of life and football as well as school."

He continued, "Of course you miss them, but this is my job, this is what I want to do, so you have to sacrifice certain things in order to be the best you can be. I'll see them as much as I can."
