Coleen Rooney, known for her limited emotional posts on social media, surprised many by sharing a heartfelt message to celebrate her husband Wayne’s 40th birthday. The I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here runner-up deviated from her usual style and expressed her love in an Instagram post featuring a cozy picture of the couple holding a cocktail.
The pair, who have been acquainted since the age of 12 and started dating at 16, eventually tied the knot in a grand ceremony in Portofino, Italy, in 2008. Following Coleen’s message, a wave of well wishes flooded in from celebrity friends and family members, including actress Claire Sweeny, Coronation Street star Alan Halsall, and former Premiere League footballer Jamie Carragher.
To mark his milestone birthday, Wayne featured on a recent episode of his BBC podcast, where he was surprised by boxing champion and I’m A Celeb star Tony Bellew with a birthday cake. Despite the occasion, Wayne opted for a low-key celebration, planning to spend his special day coaching kids in Dubai, alongside his wife Coleen and their children, as revealed by his agent Paul Stretford.
In a recent interview, Wayne opened up about his past struggles with alcohol, acknowledging that it could have led to disastrous consequences without Coleen’s steadfast support. He credited his wife for helping him stay on track and expressed gratitude for her unwavering guidance over the years.
