Wayne Rooney wished well by fans as he shares son's milestone

Wayne Rooney has received a raft of support from his many fans after wishing his first-born son, Kai, a happy 13th birthday.

Kai was born in 2009 and is one of four sons Wayne shares with wife Coleen Rooney. At just 13, Kai is already well on his way to becoming a star in his own right.

Last month, proud mum Coleen celebrated her eldest son's sponsorship deal while she was out and about in Liverpool city centre.

Coleen spotted Kai on a billboard above Santander on the corner of Lord Street and North John Street in the city. The now 13-year-old is the face of Puma's new JD Sports clothing range after becoming a brand ambassador earlier this summer.

Kai, who also plays for Manchester United's Academy, appears to be following in his dad's footsteps, with Wayne having been the face of Nike's sportswear during his football career.

On Wednesday, dad Wayne shared a snap of himself with Kai, and his second oldest son, Klay. Captioning the post on Instagram, Wayne simply said: "Happy 13th Birthday @kairooney.10. Teenager".

Liverpool boxer Paul Smith commented: "Happy birthday Kai", before a series of Wayne's fans also flocked to wish the teen well.

Pete Cranfield said: "Happy birthday, all the best mate!", while David said: "Happy birthday! Scorpions are the best". Audrey said: "Wish you all the best and always be happy Kai".
