Married former footballer Wayne Rooney, 40, was reportedly spotted in a "worse for wear" state partying into the early hours with two mystery women at a pre-BRIT Awards bash in Manchester on Saturday. The event took place at a swanky hotel where Rooney was joined by a group of male pals, including pop star Callum Scott.
Scenes from the Night
In snaps obtained by The Sun, Rooney could be seen struggling to hold up his trousers as he emerged from the toilets. He was observed drinking and joking with the two women for approximately two hours before leaving with one of them around 3:25 am. The pair then got into separate cars, with Rooney departing alone and a taxi picking up the woman about eight minutes later.
Onlookers' Reactions
Onlookers at the scene expressed concern, with one asking, "What would his wife Coleen think?" Another claimed Wayne "didn't seem to be in a great place." A witness told the publication, "People who noticed Wayne were saying: 'What would Coleen think?' She was nowhere to be seen." The witness added, "He seemed like he was having a laugh and joking around with the women."
Background on the Rooneys' Marriage
Wayne and Coleen Rooney have been married since 2008 and are parents to four sons: Kai, 16, Klay, 12, Kit, 10, and eight-year-old Cass. Their relationship has faced public scrutiny over the years due to several high-profile alleged cheating scandals involving Wayne.
Past Controversies
In 2004, when Wayne was 18 and had moved to Manchester United, it was discovered that he allegedly paid £140 for sex with prostitute Charlotte Glover, 21. It was also claimed that at a brothel in Liverpool, he slept with Gina McCarrick, then 37, and grandmother Patricia Tierney, then 48. Devastated Coleen stood by her man but did not comment publicly on these claims at the time.
Coleen's Perspective
Speaking in a 2023 Amazon Prime documentary on her husband's life and football career, Coleen candidly discussed Wayne's cheating. She credited her parents, Colette and Tony, for their support, admitting that part of the reason she chose to stay in her marriage during Wayne's various cheating and drinking scandals was for their children.
Coleen 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?' Obviously I listen to the people that matter to me, my mum and dad always give me a positive outlook on things. There's nothing that we can't deal with and that's my way in a situation - let's sit down and see what we can do and can we make it work? And we have. We're not the lovey-dovey type anyway, we like to have a laugh and we work well together."
Recent Struggles
Last year, Wayne insisted he would be dead if it wasn't for his wife, who he said "saved" him from alcoholism as he curbed his drinking. This latest incident raises questions about his current well-being and the state of his marriage. Daily Mail has contacted Wayne Rooney's representatives for comment on the recent partying allegations.
