COLEEN Rooney has candidly claimed that being married to Wayne has at times made her feel ‘like a single parent’.
The 38-year-old mum-of-four revealed that life is like a constant ‘WWE wrestling match’ with her boys and that she was often left ‘juggling’ her home alone whilst Wayne was away playing football.

After Coleen’s down-to-earth nature and love for her family helped her to win millions of votes and second place on the most recent series of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!, she has now shared an insight into her ‘mad house’.
The brunette beauty, who tied the knot with football legend Wayne Rooney, 39, back in 2008 and previously revealed the strict rota she has for her boys in an attempt to control the ‘mayhem’ in her home, shared all in one of her most brutally honest interviews yet on Nicky Byrne HQ.
Chatting to Westlife singer Nicky Byrne, 46, on the most recent episode of his podcast, Coleen candidly opened up on being a mum to four boys and navigating life alongside football legend Wayne.
Whilst Nicky recognised, “It’s crazy all the time but it must be mad with four boys”, Coleen agreed: “It is, it’s constant. They’re constantly winding each other up.
“It’s like a WWE wrestling match constantly, but it’s good fun.
“I think if it was a quiet house, it wouldn’t suit us as a family. A mad house suits us.”
When it comes to “the most difficult part of being a wife of a footballer”, Coleen confirmed: “I would say, at times, it’s like being a single parent.
“Especially when he was playing for Man United and England, Man United were in the Champion’s League, so that’s mid-week away in Europe and then you’ve got weekends, they used to stay away before a game every week and then they go off with England for 10 days at a time and they have tournaments where they’re away for weeks and weeks.”
Not only this, but Coleen, who recently revealed the secret to her glowing skin, added: “You could never rely on a plan. You couldn’t make a plan.
“That was hard because I like a plan and I like a schedule and I like to stick to that. I found that hard.
“You are literally juggling a house, especially when the kids come along.”
Coleen also reflected on her and Wayne’s move to Washington D.C. back in 2018 when Wayne joined D.C. United.
It’s like being a single parent…they’re away for weeks and weeks

After leaving her £20million mansion, Coleen admitted: “We had that spell in America, to take that leap and go to America, which is far away, it was a hard decision.
“I felt like the kids were young enough and we wanted to go as a family.
“We tried it, hated it. I didn’t realise how homesick I was.
“I just thought homesick was a thing people made up but when I was there, I was so homesick.

“I think it was because I’ve been so lucky to live so close to my family for all my life, they’ve literally helped raise my kids with me, they’ve always been at the end of the phone, they only ever lived an hour away at most.”
The Scouse lass, who has landed a £10million deal with Disney+ for a brand new reality show with Wayne and the kids, then confessed: “So to go to America, not have anyone there, not know anyone, my youngest was six months, and just be on my own with Wayne travelling with the team, it was hard. They travel and they’re away for days.
Coleen Rooney’s surprising bad habit
COLEEN Rooney has revealed the embarrassing habit hubby Wayne reckons will annoy her I’m A celebrity campmates.
She’s usually preened and perfect – but the WAG has confessed she snores.
Coleen said: “I didn’t think I snored, but Wayne says I snore.
“Not continuously though – just every now and again.
“I have been in the public eye for over 20 years now and people take what they want from it.
“I do think people will get a better idea of what kind of person I am.”
“The move was tough. We tried it, I just feel like the kids were young.”
As well as this, she also acknowledged: “Wayne was banned from driving at the time so I was the family driver. It wasn’t a good experience.”
