Wayne and Coleen Rooney’s relationship timeline: From childhood sweethearts to devoted parents

Even though they first met at school when they were 12, Wayne and Coleen first started dating after they finished school at the age of 16.

At just 17 Wayne joined Everton football club and even though they'd only been dating a year Coleen admitted that they had already discussed getting married.At the time she admitted: "We want to spend the rest of our lives together and there's no stronger commitment than getting married."

The happy couple got engaged in 2003 at a petrol station after Wayne got down on one knee. He asked his childhood sweetheart to spend the rest of their lives together with a £46,500 engagement ring.

Coleen discovered that Wayne slept with a 48-year-old nan in a brothel back in 2002

The WAG then defended her fiancé and admitted when he cheated they hadn't slept together yet. She added, "we weren't having that kind of relationship at that stage."

After denying her pregnancy for weeks the happy couple soon confirmed the exciting news - that they're having their fourth child!

It was shortly after the Rooneys announced they're having their fourth child that Wayne was pictured and arrested for drunk driving.

Things went from bad to worst after it came to light that Wayne was driving Laura Simpson's car. She then spoke out and claimed that they "had a kiss, a hug, some banter, harmless fun".

It was then reported that Coleen along with her sons had fled from the family home after revealing her marriage was over.

Following the scandal, Wayne received a driving ban for two years following his arrest and Laura appeared on This Morning to deny ever cheating with the footballer.

After weeks of speculation around the couples marriage, it appeared that all was forgiven and forgotten as it was reported that the pair were planning on renewing their wedding vows.

Coleen then surprised everyone by being totally honest in a Facebook post and admitted that although she's been through a "shit time" she decided to forgive her husband because she wants to "try and continue our marriage and live as a family".
