Wayne Rooney celebrated his 18th wedding anniversary with a heartfelt tribute to his wife, Coleen. The couple, both aged 40, got married in 2006 after meeting in Liverpool when they were just 12 years old.
Known for his successful football career with Manchester United, Wayne has maintained a strong bond with his childhood sweetheart Coleen throughout the years, standing by each other through thick and thin.
To honor his wife, who is a mother to their four sons, the Everton star shared a photo of them enjoying a luxurious vacation in Dubai on Instagram. Expressing his love and gratitude, Wayne wrote, “Happy anniversary @coleen_rooney. Where have the 18 years gone? Thanks for everything. Love you.”
Their celebrity friends extended their well wishes in response to the post, with Coronation Street actor Alan Halsall commenting, “Happy anniversary you two,” and Loose Women’s Jane Moore adding, “Happy anniversary x.”
Earlier this year, the couple celebrated another milestone as Coleen turned 40. Wayne publicly acknowledged his wife’s special day, writing, “Happy 40th Birthday to the best wife and mom we could wish for. We can’t wait to celebrate with you and love you all the world.”
Having been together for over 24 years since dating at the age of 16 in 2002, and marrying in 2008, Wayne and Coleen have weathered various challenges, including public controversies.
Coleen has been candid about the ups and downs of being a high-profile WAG and dealing with her husband’s past indiscretions, as highlighted in her 2024 Disney+ documentary, “Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story.”
Wayne has openly discussed his struggles with alcohol abuse and how it influenced his past mistakes, especially in relation to interactions with other women. Despite facing public scrutiny, their friends emphasize the strength of their relationship.
In a podcast interview with his close friend Rio Ferdinand, Wayne expressed gratitude towards Coleen for her unwavering support, acknowledging that she has been instrumental in keeping him on the right path for over two decades.
