Coleen Rooney shares family update ahead of 'Wagatha' verdict

Coleen Rooney has shared an update with her many Instagram followers ahead of finding out whether she has won her "Wagatha" court case against Rebekah Vardy.

In a viral social media post in October 2019, Mrs Rooney, 36, said she had carried out a "sting operation" and accused Mrs Vardy, 40, of leaking "false stories" about her private life to the press. The wife of former England star Wayne Rooney publicly claimed Mrs Vardy's account was the source behind three fake stories she had posted on her private Instagram account.

Mrs Vardy, who is married to Leicester striker Jamie Vardy, denied leaking the stories and sued her fellow footballer's wife for libel, while Mrs Rooney defended the claim on the basis her post was "substantially true".

After a highly-publicised libel trial in May, judge Mrs Justice Steyn is now due to publish her ruling on Friday. Coleen and her husband Wayne Rooney were absent from the courtroom on the final day of proceedings, opting instead to go on a family holiday with their children.

And ahead of the verdict, Coleen seems equally family-focused. Taking to Instagram for the first time in a couple of weeks, the mum-of-four shared an exciting update about her son Kai, 12.

Kai has followed in dad Wayne's footsteps, having signed a deal with sports brand Puma. Wayne was previously the face of Nike’s football promotions.

On Thursday, Kai took to social media to unveil Puma's new Ultra boots, and Coleen was clearly proud as punch. She commented a love-heart-eyes emoji on the post, as well as sharing it to her own story.
