Coleen Rooney plotting 'revenge' to silence doubters in new TV series with Wayne
After years in the background of Wayne Rooney's football career, Coleen Rooney is stepping into her own spotlight and she has her mind set on proving her doubters wrong.
Fresh off her success as runner-up on I'm A Celebrity, the 39-year-old mum-of-four is said to be more determined than ever to be recognised as more than just a footballer's wife. According to an insider, she's had enough of assumptions about staying with Wayne for financial reasons after his infidelities and addiction issues.
'She's sick of hearing that she would be nothing without Wayne or she only stays for the money. She's now a multimillionaire in her own right and she's not stopping there. This is just the start for Coleen and she can be very determined when she wants to be.'
Having turned down career opportunities while raising their four sons, Kai, Klay, Kit, and Cass, proud mum Coleen is reportedly now focused on building her own brand, and insiders say she was the driving force behind the couple's lucrative new deal with Disney+.
"She's the reason they got this big Disney deal,' the insider told The Sun. 'I'm A Celeb proved that she's just as big a star as Wayne. It's the ultimate revenge on her doubters.'
The couple's upcoming docuseries, created by the producers behind Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story, will offer rare insight into their home life with their four young sons. Cameras will follow Wayne, 39, as he trades football training for school runs, while Coleen continues her business ventures.
Speaking to The Mirror, a source revealed earlier this month: 'They could be bigger than not just the Beckhams, but the Kardashians.'
With Wayne recently dismissed from his managerial role at Plymouth Argyle and reportedly rejecting a lower-league job, the couple are reportedly seeing the series as a new chapter in both their personal lives and careers.
PR expert Dermot McNamara believes the show could reshape their public image, but not without challenges. 'This will be their biggest test yet,' he said.
'Even though they've been famous since they were teenagers, we haven't ever seen what their lives are really about. There's so much we don't know about them, like how they talk, how they parent. We're going to get a fresh perspective.'
Coleen's time on I'm A Celebrity showed glimpses of her resilience, but even still, questions about Wayne's scandals resurfaced as she was quizzed on her heartache by her fellow campmates.
'She let people in, but was still guarded,' Dermot said. 'Now we might finally see how she lives with all that public heartache.'
Despite the controversies, Coleen has built her own fortune with books, fashion, and fitness deals, and now, the Rooneys are ready to take control of their story with their brand-new show which has already been predicted as one of their biggest successes yet.
The Mirror has approached Coleen's representatives for comment on this story.

George Lucas makes Comic-Con debut for Lucas Museum of Narrative Art
SAN DIEGO, July 27 (Reuters) - Excited fans waved glowing "Star Wars" lightsabers on Sunday at the San Diego Comic-Con panel for George Lucas' latest project, the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. Along with Lucas, the panel included director Guillermo del Toro and Doug Chiang, vice president of Disney's (DIS.N), opens new tab Lucasfilm, with Queen Latifah moderating at the San Diego Convention Center. Attendees shouted "Lucas! Lucas! Lucas!" and clapped their hands in anticipation of the "Star Wars" creator's arrival, and gave the 81-year-old Lucas a standing ovation as he took his seat. "Opening in 2026, the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art is a first-of-its-kind institution dedicated to illustrated storytelling across time, cultures, and media," a press release from the museum said. The 11-acre campus, in Exposition Park in Los Angeles, will include a green space and a 300,000-square-foot building with galleries, two theaters, a library, restaurant, café, and retail and community spaces. Some of its collection will include art from comic book artist Jack Kirby, painter Norman Rockwell and illustrator Kadir Nelson, as well as a Lucas archive with models, props, concept art and costumes. "I love all art, no matter what it is," Lucas said after showing a video that gave a sneak peek at the museum. The video included renderings of the museum interior and exterior, as well as the museum's broad range of art ranging from more traditional fine art and comic book strips to "Star Wars" sculptures and installations. Lucas began the panel recalling his days as a college student struggling to pursue his dream of becoming an art collector due to the steep cost of fine art. But the filmmaker found an affordable exception with comic books, sold cheaply in "underground" markets. Now, rather than selling art he collected over around 50 years, Lucas said he prefers to create what he calls a "temple to the people's art." Lucas kept the conversation focused on the museum and did not discuss "Star Wars" or "Indiana Jones." For del Toro, the museum offers a visual past that belongs to everyone" and can't be erased, noting that he may move some of his personal art collection to the Lucas Museum. Part of the liberation that comes with narrative art for the "Pan's Labyrinth" director also means that art can't be made with a computer app, as it lacks "personality and knowledge."
