Ulrika Jonsson boasts she takes ‘great joy’ in reports Coleen Rooney will become the main breadwinner in place of ‘jobbing football manager’ Wayne as she says change must ‘really sting’

BBG News

Ulrika Jonsson expressed delight over the news that Coleen Rooney is expected to be the primary income earner in her family alongside her husband, Wayne, stating that she finds great pleasure in these reports.

Recently, it has been disclosed that the WAG’s income is rapidly increasing due to her rising fame after appearing on I’m A Celebrity. On the other hand, Wayne was dismissed from his coaching position at Plymouth Argyle last year, following a series of disappointing outcomes.

In conversation about recent events, Ulrika expressed her joy over Coleen’s achievements, reminiscing on her own past three marriages where she was the higher earner.

In an article for The Sun, the 57-year-old Swedish celebrity expressed that the shift in Wayne’s situation should be quite a painful blow, considering her reference to him as a ‘regular football coach’.

This week’s news that Coleen Rooney, who’s always been faithful, might earn more than her husband Wayne Rooney filled me with happiness… Isn’t it fascinating, though, to see how their financial positions have reversed?

In her piece, Ulrika reflected on her past romantic relationships and noted that she had consistently made more money than the men she had been involved with.

Later, she shifted her focus towards Coleen, observing that her triumph in I’m A Celebrity and the prosperous opportunities that ensued have elevated her beyond the ‘young woman who supported Wayne during his rise to fame’, initially seen as just a gym attendant.

Ulrika praised Coleen, mother of four with the ex-footballer, for staying fiercely devoted to Wayne and maintaining a harmonious household, even as he repeatedly tested the limits of marital faithfulness.

Currently, as Colleen’s popularity and wealth are escalating while there’s a dip in Wayne’s career, the ex-Gladiator host made a comment about how difficult things might be for the athlete during this significant transition.

While Wayne, who was accustomed to being idolized by football fans as a player, is currently managing minor clubs with limited success, Colleen left her reality TV stint behind, moving on to greater achievements and better job opportunities.

It’s quite unfortunate for him, despite his well-known status among the former professionals on the TV analysis circuit. He likely takes great pride in Coleen, but it must still hurt deeply to be commonly referred to as Mr. Coleen Rooney after so many years. I suspect even he didn’t anticipate things would turn out this way.

Ulrika further commented that despite everyone continuing to hold ‘warm feelings’ towards Wayne due to his past football accomplishments, it would be intriguing to observe whether this change in circumstances could affect the nature of his marriage with Coleen.

Colleen allegedly has a net worth of approximately 15 million pounds, while it’s believed that her husband amassed a fortune of around 170 million pounds from his time in the Premier League as a professional footballer.

As I step into a brand-new chapter, I find myself poised for a significant shift – potentially becoming the primary income provider. This transition stems from the remarkable surge in my influence and popularity.

As my star continues to rise after my triumphant run on I’m A Celebrity, I am thrilled to share that Disney has unveiled an exclusive series, The Rooneys, offering a peek into the extraordinary lives of myself and my husband, Wayne, set to premiere soon.

Due to her enterprises, the financial reports of her company, CWR for 2021 (up until September 2024), indicate a thriving business with an accumulated £580,000 in earnings. This significant amount was accrued before her participation in I’m A Celebrity and her Disney deal.

Previously, it was reported that Wayne, who had been managing Plymouth Arsenal, was earning roughly half a million pounds annually, prior to his departure from the team in December.

A financial advisor shared with The Sun that prior to Coleen participating in ‘I’m A Celeb’, she was earning more than Wayne without the reality TV show.

Following her successful and highly-appreciated adventure in the jungle, which has boosted her popularity among viewers, it’s expected that her income will skyrocket even more. Additionally, the heightened curiosity about Coleen after her impressive performance on the show might have been instrumental in finalizing her Disney contract.

The expert commented: ‘Earning a large sum from a popular streaming platform, along with her salary from ITV, will undoubtedly increase the Rooney family’s funds even more.’

TopMob has contacted Coleen’s representatives for comment. 

In March, it was disclosed that Coleen had surpassed Wayne in popularity following her appearance on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!.

Last year, Colleen participated in the ITV series and ended up being the first runner-up to Danny Jones from McFly. She garnered a massive following by winning over many viewers.

In a recent statement, the mother of four revealed that she attracts more public attention than her well-known soccer player spouse these days.

At a gathering in Manchester, Coleen openly expressed her gratitude for the heartwarming interactions she had with people who approached her to discuss her experiences during her time in the jungle, leaving her feeling humbled by their positivity.
