Coleen and Wayne Rooney’s close associates have shared insights on the status of the couple’s relationship following reports of Wayne socializing with two unidentified women at an event. Coleen, aged 39, was spotted without her wedding ring after it was revealed that Wayne, aged 40, had drinks with the women at a pre-Brit Awards gathering in Manchester. Sources within their circle, who have known the couple since their marriage in 2008, have criticized Wayne’s actions, while other friends have emphasized the strength of their bond.

An informant highlighted that Wayne and the women in question left the party separately. The informant stated, “Coleen is fully aware of the situation and is fiercely protective of Wayne. She acknowledges his struggles with alcohol but is dismayed by those who exploit him in vulnerable moments… She has always been wary of women around him, which often leads to such incidents.”

Wayne has previously discussed his alcohol-related challenges. Last September, the former Manchester United star admitted that he might not be alive today if Coleen hadn’t supported him during his struggles. Wayne expressed his gratitude towards Coleen, acknowledging her role in keeping him on the right track for over two decades.

Despite recent events, friends have defended Wayne’s actions at the party, asserting that he did nothing inappropriate. They highlighted Coleen’s unwavering support for her husband throughout his battle with alcoholism. Coleen, a well-known media figure, has consistently maintained a resilient stance on her relationship with Wayne, emphasizing the unique journey they have shared.

Shortly after the images of Wayne surfaced, Coleen was seen without her wedding ring in Cheshire. However, acquaintances clarified that it is not uncommon for her to not wear the ring during activities like Pilates or gym sessions.

Coleen, a mother of four, gained recognition as a runner-up on the 2024 season of “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!” Her emotional reunion with her sons in the jungle was a heartwarming moment, showcasing her joy and affection for her family. Coleen wasted no time giving her loved ones a tour of the camp, sharing special moments and memories with them.
