Player Wives & Girlfriends

The Story

• Maiden Name: Coleen McLoughlin
• Time Together: The two met in high school, and after six years of dating were married June 12, 2008. Despite being with Coleen for almost 2 years, Wayne was caught soliciting a prostitute in 2004. To his credit, he owns the mistake saying, "I was young and stupid. It was at a time when I was very young and immature and before I had settled down with Coleen."
  The couple had their first child, Kai Wayne Rooney in November, 2009.
• Fun Facts: Coleen and Wayne have become regulars in the British tabloids, but have turned their tabloid misfortune into a nice fortune (see what I did there? Yup, I'm reaching... leave me alone. I don't feel jokey writing about soccer you a-holes).
  When the couple tied the knot in Italy in 2008, they reportedly sold exclusive pictures of the nuptials to British rag OK! for £2.5 million (and since I had no idea what that meant I looked it up, and it's 3.7 Million US dollars...) Nice haul for the newlyweds.
