Coleen 'really glad' she told her story

After Coleen Rooney spoke to Vogue for its latest issue, a source tells new she found the interview 'hard' but talking about Wagatha Christie and her relationship with husband Wayne was cathartic

Coleen Rooney broke her silence on the ‘Wagatha Christie’ court case against Rebekah Vardy in a bombshell British Vogue interview last week and also set the record straight on her tumultuous marriage with footballer manager husband Wayne.

After describing their 15-year union as a “battle at times”, Coleen found it “embarrassing and painful” to discuss the scandalous cheating reports that have dogged their relationship, a source told new.

“It was really hard for Coleen to open up about her relationship in her Vogue interview. She hates talking about it,” they explained. “She was really hesitant to address Wayne’s cheating because she finds the scandal very painful and embarrassing – but equally, she hates seeing other people weighing in on her relationship and having their say online about what he used to get up to.

“Coleen knew she’d have to be fully transparent about everything for such a high-profile interview. She knew she’d have to lay all her cards on the table and it was really difficult to rehash everything they went through,” they added.

In 2010 – while at the height of his football career – Wayne faced allegations that he’d cheated on Coleen with two sex workers the previous year, while she was pregnant with their first child. One of the women, Jenny Thompson, claimed her intimate relations with the former England star had gone on for some time and she and Helen Wood publicly apologised to Coleen, who had married Wayne in 2008.
