Coleen Rooney reveals how the Wagatha Christie battle with arch nemesis Rebekah Vardy put a ‘strain’ on her marriage and ‘ruined weekends’
Coleen Rooney has revealed the huge toll her battle with arch nemesis Rebekah Vardy had.
The WAGS went up against each other in £1.8 million court case which culminated in 2022.
2019 saw Coleen, aged 38, accusing Rebekah of disseminating ‘untrue tales’ about her personal matters to the media through her Instagram account.
As a lifestyle expert speaking from my perspective, allow me to rephrase that statement for you: In the ‘Wagatha Christie’ trial, I, Rebekah, was found guilty of libel and ordered to pay £1.5 million towards Coleen’s legal expenses after denying the allegations against me and filing a lawsuit instead.
On the Stick To Football podcast by SkyBet, Colleen opened up about a three-year period that put a significant strain on her family life and marriage with husband Wayne, expressing its impact.
She said: ‘It was the lowest I’d say I’ve ever been. I had no control over it and that was hard.
It was challenging for me to have to defend my statement in court when someone else contested it, despite knowing it was correct.
For quite some time, I found myself unable to escape this situation. Each morning, I’d rouse myself, thinking “Colleen, carry on with your day,” but it persistently re-emerged throughout my days.
Coleen explained that she would turn short-tempered and feel apprehensive about Fridays, as she was expected to endure prolonged conversations with legal professionals on the phone.
She mentioned: “I seemed out of character, becoming irritable, and every Friday, the lawyers from the other team would call me just as things were wrapping up, trying to spoil my weekend.
They would fill me in on the current situation and then wish me a good weekend. This would prompt me to ruminate about various aspects, trying to decipher what they might be requesting.
At 2 am, Wayne would typically settle down on the couch, ready to watch something. Eventually, he’d announce, “I think I’ll head to bed now.
‘It put a strain on family life, friends. I wasn’t sociable and it stripped me.’
In a different part of the podcast, Colleen disclosed that Wayne was receiving cheers related to her during soccer games while she was participating in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
Last year, the WAG competed in the ITV program and ended up being the first runner-up, losing to Danny Jones from McFly.
Wayne, aged 39, had been managing Plymouth Argyle during his time in the jungle; however, he has since been dismissed from his position.
She stated that “He may have faced harder challenges than I have. Many people have criticized him, which makes his job difficult since he performs regularly.
‘He told me while I was in the jungle he was getting chants about me all the time.’
As a lifestyle aficionado, I must confess that I was taken aback by the overwhelming response from viewers following my appearance on the popular nightly program.
She mentioned: “The response from ‘I’m A Celebrity’ has been tremendous. I understood it was a popular program, but I underestimated the level of curiosity about me.
As someone who has walked many paths before, I’ve found that my unique spirit often gets misunderstood or misrepresented by others. They tend to focus on specific aspects of me, failing to see the whole picture and truly recognize me as a person. Being in the limelight can sometimes make one forget that we are all just ordinary individuals with our own stories and experiences.
In an open confession, the star acknowledged feeling concerned that she might appear dull during her time in the jungle. She even sought her mother’s opinion, asking how she seemed when she visited Australia to connect with her on the bridge.
Colleen mentioned that she regularly communicates with her fellow contestants from I’m A Celebrity, and their group chat is buzzing constantly.
I’ve been in a long-term relationship with Coleen since we were teenagers, and we’re proud parents to five boys: Kai, 15, Klay, 11, Kit, 8, and the youngest, Cass, who is 6 years old.
Colleen expressed that she has consistently shown resilience throughout her life, emphasizing that she is not the delicate type often associated with princesses. Instead, she has faced challenges head-on and persevered. She also mentioned that she and Wayne have been mutually supportive, experiencing ups and downs together.
