Wayne Rooney has finally made his way back to Cheshire, reuniting with his wife Coleen and their children after almost a week apart.
Coleen, who had returned to the UK on December 11 after spending a month in Australia on I’m A Celebrity, had touched down with their two youngest sons, Kit (8) and Cass (6).
However, Wayne was not there to greet them at Manchester Airport.
The 39-year-old football manager had been busy in Plymouth, where he oversees the Championship team Plymouth Argyle.
Life After the Jungle for Coleen
Coleen, 38, spent the first few days after her return settling back into her routine.
She was spotted at the gym in casual workout gear, makeup-free, looking refreshed after a lively welcome-home celebration with friends and family.
On Sunday night, she had a blast at a party with Wayne’s cousin Claire, where she looked stunning in a mini dress, showcasing her glamorous side with a touch of makeup and letting her hair flow.
She even shared a fun Instagram post with Claire, capturing the party’s festive atmosphere.
The next day, Coleen returned to her normal activities, attending a Pilates class to kickstart the week.
But while Coleen was easing back into everyday life, Wayne was hundreds of miles away, focused on his responsibilities at Plymouth Argyle.
Wayne’s Job Pressure in Plymouth
Wayne’s job at Plymouth Argyle is under intense scrutiny as the team has been struggling in the league.
After a disappointing streak of just one win in ten games, the team has fallen to second-to-last place in the Championship, putting Wayne under pressure.
Despite rumors suggesting his job might be at risk, he remains focused on improving the squad.
With a salary reportedly around £500,000 per year, Wayne has no intention of letting the speculation distract him.
He’s been working closely with the team’s management to assess potential transfers for the January window.
Wayne explained that he’s having continuous discussions with club officials about how to strengthen the team, saying that recovering injured players will feel like new signings.
“We all know we need to improve the squad,” he admitted, but emphasized that the team is putting in the effort to ensure they’re in the best position for January.
Coleen’s Reflections and Future Plans
Back home, Coleen has been reflecting on her I’m A Celebrity experience and sharing her thoughts with fans.
She posted a video thanking everyone for their support during her time on the show, where she finished as runner-up.
She expressed her gratitude for the messages, votes, and overall positivity she received.
In the video, Coleen revealed that while the experience was challenging, it was made easier with the love and support from her campmates and viewers.
As she spoke about the bond she formed with her fellow contestants, Coleen teased her future plans, hinting at more social media activity and an exciting “megabucks masterplan” post-jungle.
She also shared how much she appreciated that her time on the show brought families together and created moments of joy, laughter, and even tears.
As she adjusts to life back home, Coleen is looking forward to spending the holidays with her family and reuniting with her campmates for a reunion in the New Year.
What’s Next for Coleen and Wayne?
As the year winds down, Coleen and Wayne both have big plans on the horizon.
Wayne continues to focus on his role at Plymouth, determined to turn the team’s fortunes around, while Coleen seems ready to embrace new opportunities and continue engaging with her growing fan base.
It’s clear that both are looking forward to a well-deserved break this holiday season before diving into their respective goals for 2025.
