Coleen Rooney Debuts Disney+ Series "The Real Rooneys" Amid Wayne's Potential "I'm A Celebrity" Move
The couple attended the premiere of their new reality show, which offers an inside look at their family life, while reports suggest Wayne Rooney is in talks for a lucrative appearance on "I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!"
Coleen Rooney made a striking appearance in a white satin ensemble at the London premiere of "The Real Rooneys," her new Disney+ docuseries, alongside her husband, former footballer Wayne Rooney. The premiere, held Tuesday at Picturehouse Central, celebrated the launch of the 10-part series that delves into the family's life, careers, and their four sons.
Coleen stunned in a long cowl neck blouse paired with matching wide-leg trousers, accessorized with chunky gold earrings and white stilettos. She completed her look with a white coat draped over her shoulders. Wayne Rooney opted for a classic navy suit with a white shirt.
The couple appeared in high spirits at the event, which was also attended by friends and celebrities, including Darron Gibson and his wife Danielle, Phil Bardsley and Tanya, Sian Welby, and Love Island couple Nathan Massey and Cara De La Hoyde.
"The Real Rooneys" promises viewers unprecedented access to the family, chronicling their experiences navigating married life, raising their sons Kai, Klay, Kit, and Cass, and supporting Kai's burgeoning football career. The series explores career-defining moments, holidays, and personal revelations, presenting the family in a warm, funny, and authentic light.
Teasers for the show have hinted at both joyous family moments and underlying tensions in the couple's 18-year marriage. One clip shows Coleen confronting Wayne about his behavior during a family holiday, to which he humorously responds about his past scandals. Another moment features Coleen confiding in a friend about the difficulties of juggling everything and the state of their home life.
The series launch comes amid reports that Wayne Rooney is in advanced negotiations to join the cast of "I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!" Sources suggest he could secure the show's largest-ever fee, potentially surpassing the £1.5 million Coleen reportedly earned for her appearance two years ago. Wayne has previously expressed interest in the reality show, and insiders suggest he is keen to impress his sons with his participation.
Coleen, who finished as runner-up on "I'm A Celebrity" in 2024, has reportedly been offering Wayne advice and tips for the jungle. While an ITV representative stated that any names mentioned are speculative, the reports indicate Wayne's potential involvement could be a significant television event.
The show's synopsis highlights the family's life in Cheshire and their travels to Barbados, Disneyland Paris, and the Alps. It also touches upon Coleen's "Wagatha Christie" case and its impact on her career, including her Primark clothing line and a high-profile advertising campaign. In one segment, their son Klay humorously suggests his mother is only famous because of his father.
"The Real Rooneys" is set to premiere on Disney+ on September 24. The streaming rights for the series reportedly sparked a bidding war between Disney+ and Amazon, with Disney+ securing the show for a fee estimated at £10 million. Sources indicate Coleen's share from the production is around £5 million.
