Wayne Rooney says Coleen Rooney a “different mother and wife” after Wagatha Christie tweet

Wayne Rooney has told a judge Coleen is a “different mother and wife” after her now-famous Wagatha Christie tweet. His comments came during a trial following Coleen's accusation that Premier League footballer Jamie Vardy's wife, Rebekah, leaked information from her private Instagram account in October 2019.

Rebekah Vardy denies this and is suing Coleen for libel. Wayne gave evidence for around 20 minutes at London’s High Court this morning (May 17).

Wayne said it had been a “long week” and that it was the “first time” he was hearing much of the information of the case as the couple had “not discussed it”. He said: “I don’t think anyone wants to be in court. For me and my wife we don’t want to be in court. I certainly don’t, I don’t think my wife wants to be in that situation.

“I have watched my wife over the last two and a half years really struggle with what’s going on. She has become a different mother, a different wife.

“It’s been traumatic for my wife throughout the situation and hopefully, whatever the judgement is in this case, myself, my wife and our children can go on and live our lives because it’s not something we want to be part of. I have been here to support my wife and this week has been the first week I have had any understanding of how it all happened.”

Wayne also said he had spoken to Jamie Vardy about his wife Rebekah during the 2016 Euros after being told by then-England manager Roy Hodgson that she needed to “calm down”. Wayne was being questioned in relation to an article in The Sun from 2016, that alleged he had a conversation with Jamie Vardy about his wife.

Wayne said today that he was “pulled aside” by
