Coleen Rooney answers claims she took Wayne back just for the sake of their four kids

Coleen Rooney has answered claims she took Wayne back just for the sake of their four kids.

The WAG shares four sons with Wayne - Kai, 12, Klay, eight, Kit, five, and three-year-old Cass.

And Coleen admits in the new documentary Rooney that her children were part of the reason she took Wayne back time and time again.

“I know people say, ‘Oh were they just staying together to keep the family unit together?’” she said in the documentary released on Prime Video on Friday.

“That was part of it but also we still love each other.”

The mum-of-four also said that she’s not “lovey dovey” with her husband after he admitted to romping with prostitutes behind her back, got arrested for drink driving and partied the night away in wild 10-hour booze sessions.

“We’re not the lovey dovey type anyway and we like to have a laugh together and we work well together, and we’ve got four kids,” she explains in Rooney - the new documentary about Wayne’s life and football career.

The family recently moved into a new £20million mansion in Knutsford, Cheshire dubbed a ‘Mini Versailles’ by the couple, in reference to the grand 17th-century French palace.

The house features a television room, bar, wine store, snooker room, cinema, gym, hot tub, swimming pool, plunge pool and steam room, as well as two lifts - one for the family, and one for any visiting guests.

“Hopefully he’s learnt and he doesn’t get himself into any of those horrible situations again,” Coleen said of their fresh start.

“But it’s happened and I’ve got to live with it and if I couldn’t cope with living with it I would have ended the relationship.”

Coleen admitted that the decision to take her husband back wasn’t taken lightly.

But she ignored the public outcry from her fans and instead listened to advice from her parents and close friends.

“When you’re making those decisions you’ve got to focus on what you want and not what anybody else thinks because you have so many people saying different things to you, ‘Why’s she getting back with him,’ or, ‘She should have got rid of him ages ago,’” she said.

“Obviously I listen to the people that matter to me, my mum and dad and they’ve always given me a positive outlook on things and there’s nothing that we can’t deal with and that’s my way of… we’re in a situation let’s sit down and let’s see what we can do and can you make it work and we have.”

The highly anticipated documentary film Rooney launches on Prime Video on Friday 11th February.
