Coleen Rooney has opened up about a devastating miscarriage she suffered at 10 weeks pregnant.
The TV personality and wife of footballer Wayne Rooney is a mum to four sons: Kai, 13, Klay, 10, Kit, seven, and Cass, five.
While Coleen, 37, and Wayne, also 37, frequently share pictures of their kids online and keep their fans updated on all the family antics, there’s something people won’t know.
In her new autobiography – My Account, released after her Disney+ documentary, Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story – she details losing a pregnancy and the devastation that followed.
Speaking to the Daily Mail’s You Magazine, Coleen said it was ‘a horrible experience that knocked Wayne for six, too.’
Coleen added that her husband has suffered from depression intermittently ever since, which they believe is the result of the intense pressure he’s been under since joining Everton as a boy.

‘Still, to this day he has it – everyone on him,’ she said. ‘Not to see what he’s doing right but to see what he’s doing wrong. It’s a shame.’
Coleen has stood by her husband throughout the rocky times in their relationship, but insists that she has coped better in the spotlight than him.
‘Whatever scrutiny I was under, [Wayne] had it tenfold.’
She says in her book that Wayne is ‘not a big talker’ so sometimes ‘it can get to a point where it’s a bit much’.
‘He’ll drink to blot it all out and escape from the world. What happens, of course, is the opposite.’
There’s no denying that the Rooneys have had their fair share of ups and downs, particularly with the footie star’s cheating scandals.
However, despite criticism, their marriage has stood the test of time and Coleen continues to praise her other half.

‘Wayne’s a great dad,’ she pens in her memoir.
‘Every time he’s gone off the rails, it’s been a stupid, drunken, spur-of-the-moment thing.’
Coleen also shares her ‘message’ to people who might also be going through a turbulent time.
‘My message is if there’s something to work at, if the love’s still there, why would you throw that away?
‘Mistakes have happened, but I’ve always known Wayne’s loved me.’
