Read More Coleen Rooney finally reunites with Wayne as they enjoy romantic date night in Manchester
‘Kai’s now in Year 10 and just starting GCSE prep and everything’s going well with football, and the other boys are all settled at school, so it didn’t seem fair on the children to pick them up and take them away, and start in a whole new place.’

While his loft-style apartment is luxurious and comfortable, it is a far cry from Rooney’s £20 million six-bedroom Cheshire mansion which boasts a snooker room, a home cinema, indoor swimming pool, an underground spa, wine cellar, a stable area with space for 14 horses and a football pitch.
The former Man United star – currently manager of rock-bottom Championship side Plymouth Argyle – has been living in an upmarket rented flat in the Devon city since taking over as head coach of the club this summer.
While she was away in the Australian jungle their four kids lived with her parents due to Wayne’s work commitments.
Coleen, 38, recently spent a month in the I’m A Celeb jungle where she finished second behind Danny Jones of McFly.
In the clip – viewed more than 2million times after being shared on X – Rooney, 39, is wearing a grey tracksuit and baseball cap and can be seen unlocking a door while a woman with strawberry blonde hair waits behind him.
She adds that there is some element of truth to the idea that they stayed together for their four boys, explaining: ‘That was part of it but also we still love each other.’
In a recent interview, Coleen said: ‘We thought long and hard about it (moving to Devon) but with the kids it didn’t work.

She said: ‘When you’re making those decisions you’ve got to focus on what you want and not other people because you have so many people saying different things to you. ‘Oh why is she getting back with him?”
‘We’ve never backed away from it.
Speaking in a 2023 Amazon Prime documentary on her husband’s life and football career, Coleen also candidly discussed her husband’s cheating

‘We own it. I remember having a conversation about this with someone and I said: ”Well, do you know what your wife gets up to every day and night? At least I know what my husband’s doing!” It might not be good, but I know. People lie to themselves.’
A new video has emerged appearing to show Wayne Rooney letting a mystery woman into his apartment.
But he and Coleen, also 38, ultimately decided moving the family to Devon would be too disruptive to the kids’ education and eldest son Kai’s promising football career in the Man Utd academy.
She was forced to reevaluate the couple’s marriage in September 2017 when the former England captain was stopped by police in a car after leaving a nightclub with Laura Simpson.

After losing 2-0 to fellow strugglers Oxford United on Sunday, Argyle are now winless in their last nine matches under Rooney and recently brought in veteran former Man Utd coach Mike Phelan as his assistant.
Addressing her husband’s behaviour in an interview with British Vogue last year. Coleen said: ‘It’s been a battle at times. I look at any situation we’re in and think, ”Could we move forward from that? Is it worth moving forward from that?” I don’t just give up.
Devastated Coleen stood by her man but didn’t comment publicly on the claims.
Isolated from his roots in Merseyside and after making a slow start to the high-pressure job, since arriving in the summer Rooney has been regularly spotted enjoying nights out in the city’s bars and nightclubs including quiz nights and karaoke nights belting out his favourite Ed Sheeran hits including Shape of You.
One source said recently: ‘Coleen’s told him no more takeaways, so she’s sorting out meal plans as well as making sure he’s busy when he’s not at work’.
