The football world is once again in turmoil after a scandal involving one of its most recognizable figures — Wayne Rooney. Just hours ago, the former Manchester United and England star publicly apologized to his family and wife, Coleen Rooney, after photos of him sleeping in a hotel room surrounded by a group of young women went viral across social media platforms.

The images, which reportedly surfaced late last night, show the 39-year-old legend lying on a bed, fully clothed but visibly unaware of the cameras, as several young women posed and laughed around him. The photos spread like wildfire, drawing millions of views and sparking an online frenzy.

In a statement released this morning, Rooney admitted he was “deeply embarrassed” and took full responsibility for the incident. “I made a mistake. I let my family down. I let my wife down,” he said, his voice heavy with regret. “There’s no excuse for what happened. I just want to say sorry — to Coleen, to my kids, and to everyone I’ve disappointed.”

However, what caught the public’s attention even more was Coleen Rooney’s reaction. The woman often praised for her strength and loyalty reportedly broke down upon seeing the images. A source close to the family revealed: “Coleen has been through so much already, but this time she was silent. She didn’t shout, she didn’t cry in public — she just closed her phone and left the house.”

Those close to the couple say Coleen has been “heartbroken but calm,” spending time with her children and staying away from the media storm. Despite years of ups and downs, many fans fear this may be the final straw in their long, complicated relationship.

The scandal has once again reignited public debate about Rooney’s off-field behavior — something that has followed him since his early playing days. “Wayne is one of the greatest players England ever had,” one commentator noted, “but his personal life continues to overshadow his legacy.”

Social media remains divided. Some sympathize with Rooney, calling it “a lapse of judgment blown out of proportion,” while others harshly criticize his recurring controversies.

For now, the former footballer has reportedly left his coaching duties on hold to focus on “rebuilding trust” within his family.

But the question haunting fans is simple: Will Coleen forgive him again?

As one headline put it bluntly this morning —

“The legend may still score goals, but at home, he’s running out of chances.”
