Coleen Rooney, known for her restrained social media presence, surprised many by sharing a heartfelt message to celebrate her husband Wayne’s milestone 40th birthday. The runner-up of “I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here” shared a loving post on Instagram, featuring a cozy photo of the couple holding a cocktail with a simple caption: “Happy 40th birthday @waynerooney …love you xxx.”
Having known each other since they were 12 and starting to date at 16, Wayne and Coleen exchanged vows in a lavish ceremony in Portofino, Italy, in 2008. Following Coleen’s message, a wave of congratulations poured in from celebrity friends and family, including actress Claire Sweeny, “Coronation Street” star Alan Halsall, and former Premier League footballer Jamie Carragher.
To commemorate his 40th birthday, Wayne featured in the latest episode of his BBC podcast, where he was surprised by boxing champion and I’m A Celeb star Tony Bellew bearing a birthday cake. Former teammates Alex Bruce and Darron Gibson also joined in the celebration. Despite the milestone age, Wayne opted for a low-key celebration, as his agent and close friend, Paul Stretford, disclosed his plan to coach kids in Dubai.
In a candid interview with the Mirror, Wayne shared how Coleen had been a pillar of support, allowing them to spend more quality time together. Reflecting on his past struggles with alcohol, Wayne acknowledged the detrimental impact it had on his life, crediting Coleen for helping him navigate through those challenging times. He expressed deep gratitude for her unwavering support and influence in keeping him on the right track.
