It’s been four years since Coleen Rooney briefly booted husband Wayne out of their family home for “humiliating her” again as he was caught drink-driving party girl Laura Simpson’s car after a boozy night out.

And last week, memories of the betrayal were dredged up again after Wayne, 35, was forced to publicly apologise to his family after a string of embarrassing snaps of him looking worse-for-wear in a nightclub – and then in a hotel room alongside three scantily-clad 21-year-old women – went viral on social media.

A source claims that Coleen, 35, is “furious” Wayne has let himself and his family down again, and has laid down a string of rules – including a 9pm curfew – for him to deliberate while she holidayed with her sons in north Wales.

The source says, “Coleen was mortified by those pictures. She 100 per cent believes Wayne that nothing happened with those women, but she was still furious that he’d let himself down.

“She was especially cross with him for making a fool of himself after everything he’s put her through over the years. So she’s decided she has no choice but to impose some rules.

“From now on, he’s got to avoid partying or drinking without her there, and if she’s not with him he has agreed to check-in with regular texts of his whereabouts. She’s also brought in a 9pm curfew when he’s not working to help him avoid late nights when he might be at risk of making poor choices.

“Coleen’s loved ones are also fed up with seeing her humiliated and fear for their future, so they’ve urged her to be more strict. She feels bad having to treat him like a child, but until he proves he can stop putting himself in these situations, she has no choice.”

The former England captain – who shares four sons, Kai, 11, Klay, eight, Kit, five, and three-year-old Cass with his childhood sweetheart of 19 years – was pictured passed out on a chair fully-clothed in a hotel room surrounded by empty bottles and wine glasses while the three blonde women apparently mocked him with a series of provocative poses.

The trio had reportedly met the former footballer in the VIP section of Chinawhite nightclub in Manchester hours earlier, where Wayne was snapped chatting to a blonde woman.

Wayne then claimed he was blackmailed with the pictures and subsequently filed a formal complaint – although it’s not certain whether it was against the partygoers, who were said to have been celebrating a friend’s birthday when Wayne and his friends invited them to their booth. However, Cheshire Police later said they were satisfied that no offences had taken place.

The dad-of-four then issued an apology to bosses at his club, Derby County, where he is manager, and his family, confessing, “I made a mistake.”

The three girls involved also issued an apology and handed Wayne copyright of the images – with him only having to pay them £1 for the transaction – and Wayne’s spokesperson explained they got “carried away” and “did something they later regretted.”

It’s not the first time Coleen has been forced to lay down the law with her husband. After a move to America in 2018, their marriage was blighted by a string of scandals, including Wayne stripping to his boxers during a boozy hot-tub session with three women, and also getting into a hotel lift with a mystery woman on a night out in Vancouver with his former DC United teammates.

The couple returned to the UK in 2019, with Coleen said to have set a list of ground rules, including a ban on booze to save their marriage, which was said to be, “hanging by a thread”.

Her decision to set strict boundaries came after years of Wayne’s worrying behaviour. In 2004, it emerged he had cheated with a number of prostitutes while, in 2010, former escort Helen Wood claimed he had paid for a threesome with her and friend Jenny Thompson. He also later admitted to being addicted to gambling and lost a reported £500,000 in a two-hour spree at a casino in Manchester in 2017.

He hit the headlines again that year when he was caught drink-driving in a car with Laura Simpson after a night out while Coleen was pregnant with Cass. He ended up in court and made a grovelling apology to his family. Three months later, Coleen blasted her husband as “stupid and selfish”, but insisted she was staying with him and she was “still in love” with him.

While there was no suggestion Wayne did anything untoward or behaved inappropriately this time – with the girls insisting there was “no sexual contact”– pals say the latest scandal has come at a bad time, especially as the Rooneys have been filming a bipoic of Wayne’s life to mark his 20th year in football.

On top of that, Coleen has an ongoing legal battle with WAG Rebekah Vardy, with Rebekah suing Coleen for libel following accusations she leaked stories to the press about her former pal’s private life.

A day after the snaps of Wayne and the girls went viral, Coleen took her sons on holiday to Abersoch, north Wales, with friends – where she had been just weeks earlier on a family trip with Wayne. While she looked downcast on the beach, it was reported that she “backs Wayne” and that they are “strong”. As Closer went to press, insiders said she was due to return home to Cheshire on Saturday for another “showdown” before drawing a line under it.

The source explains, “Coleen’s had time to mull it over and even though she knows he didn’t do anything with those girls, she’s told him he shouldn’t have put himself in that situation as things like this are always going to come out and bite him and ridicule their marriage.

“She doesn’t want this dragging on and playing out publicly for any longer as she has enough on her plate with the court case coming up. She’d rather be a strong unit with Wayne than at loggerheads, and her boys are her priority, so she doesn’t want them in a negative environment.”

The latest scandal came just a day after the Wayne was forced to deny reports he could quit as manager at Derby after a rocky time. Club bosses were said to be furious about his antics and his future as a manager hung in the balance. However, in the same apology to his family, Wayne also said sorry to the club, adding, “I want to move forward on this.”

Following Wayne’s retirement from playing football earlier this year, insiders told Closer how Coleen feared her husband would struggle with the transition and was concerned about the knock-on effect it could have on their marriage.

According to data from XPRO – a charity set-up to help former footballers – a third of players divorce within a year of ending their career and face problems with depression and anxiety.

Psychotherapist Noel McDermott tells Closer, “Very often, retirement comes with losing status and the things that help give a sense of meaning, purpose and direction. With any major life change, there’s a risk of turning to coping mechanisms. For Wayne, with his experience of gambling and partying, the regression could be serious.”

And fellow WAG, Chantelle Heskey, revealed how her husband, former England player Emile, struggled after hanging up his boots in 2010 and warned that Coleen should “watch out” for a potential decline in Wayne’s wellbeing.

Our source adds that while Wayne’s recent behaviour has upset Coleen, she also sympathises with him.

The source says, “Coleen knows Wayne’s behaviour was simply an act of stupidity rather than an intentional act to hurt her. But it’s come at one of the most stressful times in her life and has added to her already full plate during a time when she needs his support the most.

“She says they now need to have a good heart-to-heart to sort things out and communicate better, as she wants to make sure this is the last time she goes through anything like this again.”
