Coleen Rooney believes couples can give up too quickly when relationships enter difficult periods as she detailed her marriage with Wayne.
Speaking to OK! magazine before their Disney+ series, she explained why she and Wayne kept working at their marriage. Her latest comments focus on the love and communication which helped them remain together.
Coleen and Wayne’s marriage has faced sustained public attention during years of headlines about his conduct. She said they dealt with their relationship behind closed doors.
Coleen Rooney says love has remained with Wayne
In the interview, Coleen argued that some people abandon relationships without spending enough time addressing their problems.
She said some couples make immediate declarations when difficulties arise. By contrast, she and Wayne have taken another approach.
“What we’ve done is actually talked and tried to work things out,” she added.
Coleen described their continuing affection as another reason they stayed committed.
“We still love each other, we’ve still got a connection, we’ve still got feelings,” she said.
This outlook echoes comments Coleen made about their marriage in 2023. During a Vogue interview, she explained how she assesses difficult situations.
Coleen considers whether they can move forward and whether doing so remains worthwhile. She said she does not simply give up.
Her latest comments again place communication at the centre of that decision. They also acknowledge the scrutiny surrounding their relationship.

Wayne Rooney’s past scandals and future outlook
Wayne’s admitted infidelity has been among the most painful challenges within their long relationship.
Before their 2008 wedding, Wayne admitted visiting brothels as a teenager and paying for sex. He later described his behaviour as foolish and immature.
Coleen addressed its impact in her 2023 autobiography, My Account. She wrote about experiencing hurt and shame after learning about his actions.
The couple began dating as teenagers and became engaged aged 17. They married in 2008 and now share four sons. Their family remains central to how both discuss the future.
Speaking to OK!, Wayne acknowledged that their marriage could face more “tough moments”. He said every married couple experiences tough moments.
Rather than claiming they had solved every problem, he reflected on their happier experiences. He also looked towards more family milestones together.
His comments support Coleen’s focus on continued effort. Neither suggested that commitment removes the possibility of future challenges.
