Orange you forgetting something, Coleen? The 24-year-old wife of Wayne Rooney stepped out into -7 degrees Celsius weather in Liverpool without any stockingsWayne Rooney is making amends for a troubled year by paying to send his wife Coleen and her entire family on a luxury Caribbean cruise.
And she, in return, is demonstrating that she trusts her husband – just three months after a £1,200-a-night prostitute claimed he slept with her on several occasions – by allowing him to stay home alone.
The 25-year-old England star cannot go with them because of footballing commitments, but Coleen, their year-old son Kai, her parents Tony and Colette,
her brothers Joe and Anthony and her adopted sister Rosie, 12, will all embark on the Disney cruise on Tuesday.
Rosie suffers from an incurable genetic brain disorder called Rett syndrome, which means she cannot speak or walk and has to be fed through a tube. She has been discharged from Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in Liverpool for the trip.
The cruise – where suites cost up to £6,700 a week – will take in a string of exotic locations including Aruba, Martinique, Barbados, Grand Cayman and Costa Maya in Mexico.
A source said: ‘Wayne has paid for the all the family to go because he wants
to make up for all the turmoil he has caused this year. ‘He can’t go because he has wall-to-wall soccer commitments here. But he is delighted that the rest of the family are going.
Rugging up: Wayne Rooney joins his wife and in-laws for Christmas dinner, but the troubled football star has been voted the U.K.'s number one celebrity villain of 2010‘It’s his way of doing all he can to make everything right with everyone he has hurt. The fact that Coleen is willing to go and leave him behind on his own is another positive sign. It means she feels he can now be trusted.’
Coleen returned to her parents’ home near Liverpool when prostitute Jennifer Thompson spoke of her affair with Rooney in September. At the time, Coleen’s devout Catholic parents said he would never be welcome in their house again.
