Coleen Rooney finds it “annoying” that her husband Wayne Rooney is at home more often.

The 40-year-old ex-Manchester United ace is at their swanky £20 million pad in Cheshire, North West England, a lot more since the star became a football pundit after he hung up his player boots in 2021 and was manager of Derby County, Birmingham City, DC United and Plymouth Argyle.
Coleen, 39, told The Sunday Times: “In some ways it’s good, in some ways it’s annoying, because we’ve never had that much time together.”
The media personality likes to take control and plan everything in a paper diary, but stressed that she and Wayne strive to find the “balance” at home.
Coleen said: “I like everything in order; he’s a bit more laid-back.”
Asked if she bosses him around, Coleen added: “He would probably say that, but I would say he needs telling sometimes.”
The star met Wayne when she was aged 12, and they shared their first smooch around the back of a church aged 16.
Former Everton F.C. midfielder/attacking midfielder Wayne popped the question in the forecourt of a BP garage in 2003, when he was aged 18, and Coleen was aged 17.
Wayne and Coleen got married in a lavish ceremony in Portofino, Italy, five years later, and they went on to welcome sons Kai, 16, Klay, 12, Kit, 10, and Cass, eight, into the world.
And Coleen says her and Wayne’s relationship has remained strong as the pair have got older and started a family.
She said: “Obviously, it’s changed with age and children coming on board and career changes.
“You have your ups and downs, you have things that happen in life. But I think being together from a young age, we know each other inside and out.
“We’re a team. So no, I wouldn’t say we’ve changed. I would say things around us have changed.”
The couple – who have dealt with allegations of infidelity in the past – have recently expanded their brood.
Coleen revealed: “My 10-year-old wanted a pet. And then it just developed that he wanted a pig. And you can’t buy one, you’ve got to buy two.
“So now we’ve got a pig pen in the garden. But it’s me that has to shovel up poo.
“But do you know what? I’m getting used to it. I’m getting a bond with these pigs now.”
