Coleen Rooney details having to make a quick dash to M&S amid the Wagatha Christie trial because husband Wayne’s suits ‘didn’t fit’ him anymore
Coleen Rooney has detailed having to make a quick dash to M&S amid the Wagatha Christie trial because husband Wayne’s suits ‘didn’t fit’ him anymore.
The mother of four, 37, who shares her sons with husband Wayne, broke her silence on the trial during a bombshell interview in British Vogue’s September Issue.
The media personality went on to reveal that Wayne, 37, that suffered a fashion emergency ahead of the trial.
She explained: ‘It was the day before we were going to London and I was like, ‘Where are all your suits?’ He was like, ‘They don’t fit me.’ So I’m like, ‘S***!’ It had to be a quick fix in Marks & Spencer.’
The former Manchester United and England captain, 37, is reportedly trying to ‘slim down’ after putting on 3st.

A source told The Mirror: ‘He’s naturally a pizza, pasta and pies kind of guy and is no great lover of salad but he’s doing his best because he does want to slim down.’
MailOnline has contacted Wayne’s representatives for comment.
In her Vogue interview, Coleen also touched on the iconic accessory that people picked up on during the trial – a black leather Fendi tote which retails for around £2,400.
Wayne carried the bag – which contained Coleen’s files – to the courthouse each day, which the Liverpool-born star reveals became somewhat of a superstition.
She said the couple spotted the posts about the bag, including the ‘immortal meme’, ‘When PE teachers have to teach a bit of geography.’
Coleen recalled: ‘We were laughing about that one, Wayne carried the bag every day after that, I think it was a superstition thing.’
Coleen also admitted that her 15-year marriage to husband Wayne has been a ‘battle at times’ amid his numerous infidelities.
The pair’s history of marital problems have been well-documented, including footballer Wayne’s notorious brothel visits and escort scandal.
But speaking to British Vogue, Coleen told that although they’ve weathered some tough storms, the ‘love’ between them has never faltered, otherwise their relationship would be ‘pointless’.
Despite their hardships, Coleen managed to find humour in Wayne’s betrayals, joking that they’ve put her in good stead to cope any other misbehaviours of him.
She continued: ‘We’ve never backed away from it. 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 mightn’t be good, but I know. People lie to themselves.’
Elsewhere in the bombshell interview, Coleen also broke her silence on the £3million libel case she won against Rebekah Vardy , and branded her nemesis as ‘odd’.
She explained: ‘It was the day before we were going to London and I was like, ‘Where are all your suits?’ He was like, ‘They don’t fit me.’ So I’m like, ‘S***!’ It had to be a quick fix in Marks & Spencer.’

Coleen and Wayne, 37, who both grew up on Liverpool’s Croxteth estate met when they were 12 and began dating when they were 16.
The couple went on to marry in a lavish ceremony in Italy aged 22 and went on to welcome four sons Kai, 13, Klay, 10, Kit, seven, and Cass, five.
Wayne and Coleen’s 20-year relationship has been marred with various cheating scandals – with the footballer making national headlines when he was found to have visited three prostitutes as a teenager.
In 2004 after Wayne, then aged 18, moved to Manchester United, it was discovered that the teenager 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 didn’t comment publicly on the claims – though later admitted that when the scandal came out she hadn’t yet slept with Wayne herself.
The pair worked through their troubles and wed four years later, though their newlywed bliss was short-lived, as it emerged in 2010 that the footballer had slept with two more prostitutes while Coleen was pregnant with their first son, Kai.
More incidences with other women followed in 2017 and 2019, while in 2021 Wayne hit headlines once again after pictures emerged of the star partying and falling asleep in a hotel room with young women.
After overcoming Wayne’s last scandal, Coleen admitted that this year’s Wagatha Christie trial nearly broke her marriage to Wayne because she was ‘hurt, short-tempered and he didn’t think she was the same person anymore’.
Candid: ‘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’
Rebekah had sued Coleen over an accusation she had leaked details of Coleen’s private life to the press after Coleen had staged an elaborate sting operation to find out who was passing on stories about her to The Sun.
And while Coleen won the £3million libel case, she admitted that things weren’t plain sailing at home and she felt like the stress of it was draining the life out of her.
She told that while the football coach was ‘supportive’, the trial ‘took its toll’ on their romance as she put her focus on winning the court battle.
Coleen admitted the pair had ‘disagreements’ because she was ‘quite short-tempered’ and found herself with little time for him.
Coleen also confessed that she was forced to spend hours on the phone with her legal team meaning her family had to step in to help with their four sons.
It comes after last year, Coleen explained how she had to block out other people’s opinions on her marriage to Wayne.
Speaking in the Amazon Prime documentary on her husband’s life and football career, Coleen candidly discussed her husband’s cheating for the the first time on camera.
The mum of four credited her parents Colette and Tony for their support, as she admits part of the reason she chose to stay in her marriage during Wayne’s various cheating and drinking scandals was for their children.
Speaking in the new documentary, Coleen says she relied on the support of her family and her own instincts to help her decide on whether to stay in the relationship, pointing out:
‘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.’
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.’
‘Hopefully he’s learnt and he doesn’t get himself into any of those horrible situations again. But it’s happened and I’ve got to live with it, if I couldn’t cope with living with it I would have ended the relationship.’

Coleen Rooney’s three-part documentary will air exclusively on Disney+ later this year.
Wagatha Christie timeline: How Coleen and Rebekah’s war unfolded
September 2017 to October 2019 – The Sun runs a number of articles about Coleen, including that she travelled to Mexico to look into baby ‘gender selection’ treatment, her plan to revive her TV career and the flooding of her basement.
October 9, 2019 – Coleen uses social media to accuse Rebekah of selling stories from her private Instagram account to the tabloids.
Coleen says she spent five months attempting to work out who was sharing information about her and her family based on posts she had made on her personal social media page.
After sharing a series of ‘false’ stories and using a process of elimination, Coleen claims they were viewed by one Instagram account, belonging to Rebekah.
Rebekah, then pregnant with her fifth child, denies the allegations and says various people had access to her Instagram over the years.
She claims to be ‘so upset’ by Coleen’s accusation, later adding: ‘I thought she was my friend but she completely annihilated me.’
The public dispute makes headlines around the world, with the hashtag #WagathaChristie trending.
How it all began: On October 9, 2019, Coleen Rooney, now 36, accused Rebekah Vardy, 40, of leaking ‘false stories’ about her to the press in an Instagram post (above)
February 13, 2020 – In a tearful appearance on ITV’s Loose Women, Rebekah says the stress of the dispute caused her to have severe anxiety attacks and she ‘ended up in hospital three times’. Coleen says in a statement that she does not want to ‘engage in further public debate’.
Shortly after Coleen’s public accusation, Rebekah – who was pregnant and on holiday in Dubai at the time – denied any involvement (above)
June 23, 2020 – It emerges that Rebekah has launched libel proceedings against Coleen.
Rebekah’s lawyers allege she ‘suffered extreme distress, hurt, anxiety and embarrassment as a result of the publication of the post and the events which followed’.
November 19-20, 2020 – The libel battle has its first High Court hearing in London. A judge rules that Coleen’s October 2019 post ‘clearly identified’ Rebekah as being ‘guilty of the serious and consistent breach of trust’.
Mr Justice Warby concludes that the ‘natural and ordinary’ meaning of the posts was that Rebekah had ‘regularly and frequently abused her status as a trusted follower of Coleen’s personal Instagram account by secretly informing The Sun of Coleen’s private posts and stories’.
February 8-9, 2022 – A series of explosive messages between Rebekah and her agent Caroline Watt – which Coleen’s lawyers allege were about her – are revealed at a preliminary court hearing.
The court is told Rebekah was not referring to Coleen when she called someone a ‘nasty bitch’ in one exchange with Ms Watt.
Coleen’s lawyers seek further information from the WhatsApp messages, but the court is told that Ms Watt’s phone fell into the North Sea after a boat she was on hit a wave, before further information could be extracted from it.
February 14 – Coleen is refused permission to bring a High Court claim against Ms Watt for misuse of private information to be heard alongside the libel battle. A High Court judge, Mrs Justice Steyn, says the bid was brought too late and previous opportunities to make the claim had not been taken.
April 13 – Ms Watt is not fit to give oral evidence at the upcoming libel trial, the High Court is told as the case returns for another hearing.
The agent revokes permission for her witness statement to be used, and withdraws her waiver which would have allowed Sun journalists to say whether she was a source of the allegedly leaked stories.
April 29 – Rebekah ‘appears to accept’ that her agent was the source of allegedly leaked stories, Coleen’s barrister David Sherborne tells the High Court. He argues that a new witness statement submitted by Rebekah suggests Ms Watt was the source but Rebekah claims she ‘did not authorise or condone her’.
Rebekah’s lawyer Hugh Tomlinson says the statement did not contain ‘any change whatever in the pleaded case’, with her legal team having no communication with Ms Watt.
