English football fans were left in shock when Coleen Rooney, wife of former Manchester United star Wayne Rooney, revealed that their marriage was going through a very challenging period.
In an exclusive interview with The Mirror magazine, Coleen frankly shared:
“People often see us smiling brightly in front of the camera, appearing together at events, but no one knows that behind the scenes there are stressful and tiring days. Lately, we have had more disagreements than ever.”
According to a close source, the cause of the rift stems from Wayne’s busy work schedule, differences in views on raising children, and pressure from the media constantly following his private life. Coleen also admitted that sometimes she feels “disconnected” from her husband, although both are still trying to find ways to mend the relationship.
She added:
“We’re not a perfect couple. The difference is that we’re willing to face up to things that are not going well and talk about them, rather than hiding them. But I’m not going to lie — this is the hardest time we’ve ever been through.”
The post quickly went viral on social media. Some fans sent their support, hoping they could get through the storm, while others worried that this could be a sign of a messy breakup in the future.
Wayne Rooney has yet to comment on his wife’s statement, but British media predicts that he will have to speak up soon to calm the widespread speculation.
