Coleen Rooney reveals how Wayne’s secret vasectomy played a pivotal role in exposing Rebekah Vardy

Coleen Rooney has revealed how her husband’s secret vasectomy helped to expose Rebekah Vardy’s Instagram account as part of their ‘Wagatha Christie’ drama.

The 37-year-old explained how she underwent a two-year investigation in a bid to find out who was leaking details of her life to The Sun newspaper in her new Disney+ docuseries, Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story.

In the three-part series, the WAG said that she had purposely posted a series of false claims on her private Instagram page and blocked everyone but 41-year-old Rebekah’s account from seeing them.

One of Coleen’s notable concocted tales claimed the couple were travelling to Mexico to look into “baby gender selection”.

However, the mother-of-four explained that the social media post was completely fabricated as former England footballer Wayne had secretly undergone a vasectomy after welcoming son Cass in 2018.

But soon after revealing their fake plans online, Coleen said that the story found its way into the pages of The Sun and confirmed the leak could have only come from Rebekah’s camp.

She explained: “After the birth of every one of my kids the press is always interested if I'm going to have another baby and it’s always, ‘would you like a girl?’

“I always thought I'd have a few kids, maybe three at the most, but then number four came along, and we knew our family was complete then.

“Me and Wayne talked about him having a vasectomy. He said after this baby that's it, we're not having anymore, and Wayne went in and got the snip so I knew for sure we wouldn't have any more children.

“I'd heard about this procedure where you could choose the gender of your children but it's something I'd never considered doing so I came up with this idea about doing a story."

Elsewhere in the series, Coleen also revealed the strain the press leaks had on her and Wayne’s marriage after he was caught driving another woman home while three times over the legal limit in 2017.
