Coleen Rooney: Not a princess, always tough
30 Mar
Summary
- Coleen Rooney describes herself as a 'tough person,' not a princess.
- She has endured public scrutiny over husband Wayne's scandals.
- Rooney faced a public libel case with Rebekah Vardy.
Coleen Rooney, at 39, has revealed that her enduring strength comes from an inherently 'tough person' nature, stating she is 'not a princess' and has always persevered through life's challenges.
Her public journey began at 16 when her childhood sweetheart, Wayne Rooney, was signed by Everton. Their relationship has faced significant public scrutiny, including Wayne's past issues with brothels and escort scandals.
Rooney also endured profound grief with the passing of her sister Rosie, who died at 14 after a lifelong battle with Rett syndrome. Rosie had been a foster child in Coleen's parents' care.
The Wagatha Christie saga, a highly publicized libel case between Coleen and fellow WAG Rebekah Vardy, further tested her resilience. The dispute, which began in October 2019, concluded with Vardy ordered to pay substantial legal costs exceeding £1.4 million after losing the case.
Reflecting on the ordeals, Rooney emphasized her proactive approach, stating, 'I've tackled things and got on with it. I'm constantly on the move.'
