Wayne and Coleen Rooney have opened the doors to their stunning Cheshire home for the new Disney+ documentary series, The Real Rooneys. The football legend and his wife – whose popularity surged after winning the 24th series of ITV's I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! – invited cameras into their six-bedroom mansion to offer a glimpse into their family life.
Premiering on Disney+ on 24 September, the ten-part series follows the couple as they raise their four boys: Kai, 16, Klay, 13, Kit, 10, and Cass, eight. It highlights a new chapter for the family, with Wayne, 40, taking on a larger domestic role while stepping away from football management, and Coleen, 40, embracing a major career milestone by designing her own Primark range.

"He's getting better," she said. "He's better than me at cooking, and he's started putting stuff in the dishwasher, which is good. He loves the mop. He's improving."
Kai, 16
Coleen and Wayne welcomed their eldest son on 2 November 2009. Much like his father, the teenager is now carving out a successful football career of his own.
Kai is signed for the U16 Manchester United team, having played for the club, which previously signed his father, since 2020. On the day he signed his first contract, Wayne posted: "Proud day. Kai signing for Man Utd. Keep up the hard work son."

Speaking about his football career on The Real Rooneys, Kai said: "People are always comparing me to my dad. The main thing is having people remember the name Kai Rooney."
Klay, 13
Coleen and Wayne became parents for the second time on 21 May 2013, following the arrival of their second son, Klay.
Like Kai and Wayne, Klay has been exploring his sporty side and has played in some football tournaments. However, football isn't the only interest of Klay's and the youngster has also been involved in tag rugby.

Wayne added: "It's got to the point now where we just want him to get through to the end of school."
Kit, ten
Coleen and Wayne's third son was born on 24 January 2016. Announcing his arrival, proud dad Wayne shared: "Our gorgeous little boy arrived today. Kit Joseph Rooney. 8Ib 1oz. We are over the moon."
© Disney+Describing her third-born in the Disney show, Coleen said that while he's "got a sensitive side," Kit "can just erupt and drop a bomb in any situation."
"He is a live-wire, he's strong-willed," she added, while Wayne said Kit is "probably the one who's all-round like me."
"He's a challenge," he laughed.
Cass, eight
The couple's youngest child, Cass, was born on 15 February 2018. At the time of his birth, the proud mum-of-four penned: "So Happy to welcome our Baby Boy.... Cass Mac Rooney into the world weighing a healthy 8lb 10oz. He is beautiful."
Coleen described her youngest as "the baby of the family". "He is funny and you can't help but laugh," she said. "He's a very happy little boy, he skips into school every morning."
© Disney+Echoing her sentiments, Wayne added that he's "dead loving and a bit cheeky at times."
Speaking to HELLO! in 2018, Coleen revealed why she broke her naming tradition with her sons, whose names were all spelt with a 'K' before Cass.
"I've always liked the name Cassius and I had thought about calling one of my other sons that and Cass for short," Coleen explained. "And I do like short names and Cass is quite strong. And when I was looking into the name in the name book, it was spelt with a 'K' as well. But with a 'K' it meant blackbird, but with a 'C' one of the meaning was clever."
Miscarriages
Sadly, on the way to parenthood, Coleen has suffered from two miscarriages. In her autobiography, My Account, Coleen revealed that she experienced a miscarriage just months after her marriage to Wayne.

The star noted: "I've wondered since if I could only have boys, that I couldn't carry girls and that the two I lost might have been female. Mum says maybe I'm just meant to be the mum of boys, and that's fine by me."
