We Need To Talk
287,232 views
Coleen Rooney opens up about her marriage to Wayne Rooney, growing up in the public eye and the private experiences that have shaped her life behind the headlines. In this deeply personal conversation, she reflects on being photographed from just 16, becoming known as one of Britain’s most recognisable WAGs, losing confidence as the scrutiny intensified, and why she now wishes she had owned her place in the public eye more.
Coleen revisits the Wagatha Christie case, discovering that information from her private circle was reaching the press, and the years of legal proceedings that followed. She reveals the one thing she would change, how the experience affected the relationships around her, and the personal cost of a story that became global news.
She also speaks candidly about miscarriage, motherhood, her marriage to Wayne Rooney and the loss of her younger sister Rosie. Coleen reflects on grief, family and the pressure of always being the strong one, before receiving a deeply personal message from Wayne for the first time that leads her to reflect on the role she has played in his life - and her own.
Honest, emotional and revealing, this is Coleen Rooney beyond the headlines - telling the story behind her marriage, family and public life that millions thought they already knew.
