Coleen Rooney has revealed she considered separation from Wayne as the couple's Disney+ docuseries 'The Real Rooneys' drops, laying bare 24 years of infidelity scandals, drink-driving charges and relationship strain. She told cameras: "There are times where I think 'Is the answer to see what it's like if we were separated?'" but added they still love each other. The pair, both 40, married in 2008 after meeting as teenagers before Wayne's football career made him a global star.

Coleen also confronted Wayne on camera over his behaviour: 'It's been a bit of a lads holiday for you — you can't just keep doing what you do.'

The docuseries also shows the couple defending son Kai, 16, against 'nepo baby' claims after he won a Manchester United scholarship and a Puma modelling deal.
