Coleen Rooney wishes son Klay a happy 12th birthday with sweet Instagram post - after sharing 'relief' as Wagatha Christie ordeal comes to an end
Coleen Rooney wished her son Klay a happy 12th birthday with a sweet Instagram post on Wednesday.
The WAG, 39, shares sons Kai, 15, Klay, Kit, eight, and Cass, six, with husband Wayne Rooney, also 39.
Coleen shared a snap of herself and Klay on a sun-soaked stroll, but didn't share anymore details about how they were celebrating the big day.
She wrote in the caption: '12 Today…. Happy birthday Klay…. Keep smiling, laughing, singing, joking…… we love you'
Last year, the couple gave an insight into their son's special day as they spoiled him with an M&M blue themed balloon display.

Klay looked thrilled as he posed wearing a camouflaged snoodie next to the decorations, which were displayed in their lavish £20M Cheshire mansion.
The youngster was also treated to a giant LED 11 sign, an impressive two-tier birthday cake and several presents which were wrapped with personalised paper with his face printed on.
The wife of footballer Wayne as been 'moving on with her life' after her high-profile libel case with Rebekah Vardy came to an end.
Meanwhile, Rebekah has been flogging her old designer bikinis after being ordered to pay Coleen £1.4M in legal fees.
Last week, the WAG, 43, agreed to pay £1,190,000 of Coleen's legal bill, plus a further £212,266 in assessment costs, after sensationally losing their case.
This takes the total Rebekah must pay to at least £1,402,266.20. MailOnline understands she has already paid some of the bill, including £800,000 four years ago and £100,000 last year.
It has now emerged that the TV personality is selling her clothes on resale site Vinted as she advertised the items on her Instagram Story on Tuesday.
Rebekah was advertising a range of her colourful swimwear, from luxury brands including Luli Fama, ViX and Good American.
One bikini from Luli Fama, where swimwear retails from around £170, was being listed on her page for a fraction of the price at £50.
Meanwhile, the ViX bikinis, which would cost around £200 to buy new were being listed for similar price tags.
Rebekah had also listed items of clothing from her wardrobe, as well as children's clothing she no longer wanted.
It comes after it was revealed she had left the UK after being ordered to pay Coleen a huge sum in their Wagatha Christie settlement following the years-long legal battle.
She shared a snap of herself jetting out of the country on a budget flight after being ordered to pay £1.4million to Coleen.
While Coleen shared her 'relief' that the ordeal had finally come to an end, Rebekah was clearly in no mood to hang around as she took the early morning flight.
Breaking her silence in a statement on Wednesday, Coleen insisted 'time and money should have been put to better use' in the scathing message to Rebekah.
She wrote: 'The ruling yesterday in my favour finally brings this claim to an end, it's a relief and brings closure for my family and I.

'Throughout this long process, I am grateful that the judgements have consistently gone my way.
'However, as I have always maintained this claim did not need to be made or run for as long as it did.
'The time and money should have been put to better use.
'I want to thank my legal representatives, management, friends and family for their guidance and constant support.
'Thanks also to the public and many well wishers who have been in touch with such kind messages.
'This episode is not something I ever wanted in my life however I am thankful for the way my family and team have dealt with it. We look forward to moving on with our lives.'
Coleen must also pay Rebekah a total of £135,097.50 in costs under the terms of court orders from 2024, which will be set off against what Rebekah must pay.
In an update Coleen wrote: 'The ruling yesterday in my favour finally brings this claim to an end, it's a relief and brings closure for my family and I'
A source close to Rebekah told MailOnline on Tuesday: 'It's a huge relief for Rebekah that this long legal battle is now coming to an end.
'She's looking forward to putting the whole ordeal well and truly behind her.
'Now she's just focusing on the future. And there are some big plans coming up for her now that she just wants to get cracking with.'
Coleen ran up a legal bill of more than £1.8 million while successfully defending herself against Rebekah's High Court claim in 2022.
After losing their High Court showdown, Rebekah was ordered to pay 90 percent of Coleen's legal costs.
