Wayne’s wife joins Derby manager at documentary premiere as prostitute Helen Wood speaks out

Coleen hopes Wayne ‘has learnt from his past mistakes’

Coleen Rooney says she hopes her husband has “learnt” from his past mistakes and will not get into “horrible situations” in future.

The wife of the former England star said his past behaviour was “not acceptable” but she would have to “live with it”.

The footballer has had previous run-ins with both alcohol and other women.

In 2018 he was ordered to complete 100 hours of unpaid community work after admitting being nearly three times the legal drink-drive limit while at the wheel of another woman’s car following a night out.

Following the incident the 35 year-old vowed to make their marriage work.

Speaking about the decision in a new Amazon Documentary, Rooney, Coleen said: “When you’re making those decisions you’ve got to focus on what you want and not what else.

“Obviously, I listen to the people who 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. Hopefully he’s learnt and he doesn’t get himself into any of them horrible situations again.

“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.”

Wayne needs supervision says Coleen

Coleen Rooney has also insisted her husband Wayne has a responsible adult — either her brother Joe or someone else she trusts — to keep an eye on him so he does not stray while drunk.

She said: “I knew groups that Wayne was hanging around with that weren’t good for him. Lovely people but together, with alcohol, not good and I told him that from day one.

“I didn’t want him to stop being friends with them but I didn’t want him to go out with them because they got in bad situations.

“It’s not a good thing for Wayne to be unsupervised.”

Coleen ‘amazed their 13-year-marriage has survived’

Coleen said it was amazing that their 13-year-marriage has survived, and she chose not to leave him partly for the sake of their boys.

She says: “Life goes on and I’ve moved on. You’ve moved on. Not the behaviour, no. It’s not acceptable.

“Forgiveness I’d say is different. It’s not acceptable what he’s done but it’s happened and that was a stage of life that we were in at the time. But we’ve moved on.

“I forgive him but it wasn’t acceptable. If it comes up we talk about it like we are talking about it now. I haven’t got the anger I did at the time.”

She added: “I do think it’s amazing that we are where we are today. We’re lucky that we both had the strength and support of each other and the people around us to keep going. That’s something we’ve had to work hard at.

“I wouldn’t be standing here if I hadn’t forgiven him.”

Coleen Rooney says she ‘cried every weekend’ 

COLEEN Rooney has admitted she “cried every weekend” when her husband Wayne left her at home to play football.

The mum-of-four was just 17 when she moved into her first house with the famous striker and has revealed how hard the transition was for her.

Speaking in the new Amazon Prime documentary ‘Rooney’, Coleen shares:  “The thought of it was all fine and great, but obviously you were away every weekend and I used to leave my mum’s and cry all the way home to mine.

“It was all of a sudden and it was a matter of months, everything just happened.”

She adds: “We’ve always grown up quicker than what we were meant to I think. We’ve had to try and be more sensible than most people and be aware of situations and what’s going on around us.”

Wayne ‘always knew’ he wanted to marry Coleen

The documentary, which is due out tomorrow, looks back on Wayne’s life from his council estate upbringing in the Liverpool district of Croxteth through to the soaring heights of his football career and throughout it all, his relationship with Coleen, who first met at the age of 12.

Speaking about their teenage romance, Wayne says in the documentary: “I think when I was about 11 or 12 I knew that I wanted to marry her, and I said that to her at the time. I said ‘when we grow up we’re going to get married and you’re going to have our kids’. She was looking at me like ‘yeah good one!'”

Coleen agreed, admitting of her husband: “He’s a charmer, growing up that’s how he won me over. The more I said no the more he said ‘I will one day get that date’.'”

He said today: “I’d go home and drink for two days straight. I’d wake up rough, eye drops, chewing gum, mouth wash, try to dust yourself off.”

The 36-year-old also gave a fresh glimpse inside his 13-year marriage, to Coleen, telling Ben: “I like writing poems and when we’d go to bed I’d leave one on the breakfast table for when she wakes up.”

He also explained the support Coleen has given him over the years, saying: “The difficult part of it was people were judging Coleen and her decisions.

“Does she stay with me does she leave me and I know that was difficult for her,” he added.

“But as I said before I make mistakes and a lot of people make mistakes and it’s recovering from those, that’s what shapes you into a better person.”

Coleen ‘thought about leaving’ Wayne (Continued…)

Speaking in the documentary, Coleen continued to say: “Hopefully, he’s learned and doesn’t get himself into those horrible situations again.” Wayne tells the film: “It’s important that teammates, friends, family remember me for who I am rather than what I’ve done.

“Stuff that has happened in the past, with girls for instance. Stuff I regret. It’s something I feel that has stuck against my name.

“I think it’s important because it is part of what has happened with my life growing up. People still see that and look at me in a different way. I’m not that type of person.”

In the film — for which the couple are being paid about £1million plus a share of syndication profits — Coleen admits that she did think about leaving.

She said: “When you are making those decisions you’ve got to focus on what you want, not what anyone else is saying. I listen to the people that matter — my mum and dad — and they’ve always given me a positive outlook on things.

“We are in a situation so let’s sit down, see what we can do and can we make it work, and we have.

“We’re not the lovey-dovey type anyway. We like to have a laugh together and work well together.

“People say, ‘Were they just staying together to keep the family unit together?’. That was part of it but also we still love each other.”

Vice ‘n’ booze shame
