Coleen Rooney may have the Wagatha Christie drama still going on but it's not all doom and gloom as she's shared some 'special' family news.

The mum-of-four to Kai, 11, Klay, seven, Kit, four, and Cass, two, revealed that her eldest son Kai has only gone and signed a football contract with Manchester United.

"Special night..... congratulations Kai. I love you and I am so proud of you.

"Keep trying your best ❤️," she wrote on Instagram.

It's safe to say that Kai is following in his dad Wayne Rooney's footsteps who also signed to Manchester United back in 2004.

The footballer shared the same photo as Coleen, of their son signing his contract, and wrote, "Proud day. Kai signing for @manchesterunited. Keep up the hard work son ❤️".

Lots of fans and celebrity pals rushed to congratulate Kai with Hollyoaks' Jamie Lomas writing, "Congratulations, hopefully it will be like, father like son. Good luck".

Speaking to Closer magazine she explained, "Mediation is quite easy to set up, so Rebekah and Coleen could settle this before the year is out.

"Although the talks are more likely to be held in early January."

She went on to add, "If these two don’t want to go to court – which I’m sure they don’t as they will be aware of how public and nasty it can be – then there’s still hope. They will have to make sacrifices to come to a deal, such as an apology.

"It seems to me that’s what Rebekah wants. However, mediation is completely confidential, so coming out of it with a private agreement would mean that neither of them could be seen as winners, but neither would be losers. It takes away the risk."
