Coleen Rooney says she used to get annoyed by the term “Wag”.
The 37-year-old felt it meant people assumed all footballers’ wives and girlfriends were the same types of people. Coleen, who was involved in a 2022 libel case with Rebekah Vardy, 41, known as the Wagatha Christie trial, said: “We have all lived different lives.
“We are all individuals. To bring us all together in one term is unfair. But it’s one of them things.” The term WAG was first used in 2002 to describe the wives and girlfriends of footballers.

“I don’t know these people making the comments so it doesn’t matter to me. When I meet people in person then hopefully they will get that I am a serious person and I do have views on life.
“I’m a strong woman and I know the right and wrongs of life.” It comes after Coleen reportedly told her husband Wayne: “I just can’t carry on with this,” when their relationship hit the rocks amid allegations he cheated.

According to The Sun, Coleen shares that it was tough after Wayne was caught driving another woman home. The sports star drove Laura Simpson in her car after a night out in 2017.
He said in the same documentary that “there was never any talk of anything happening, or going to happen” but Coleen said she was left “heartbroken” over the whole thing. The star – who was on holiday with their children and her parents at the time – said it was “just sickening”.

“I’ve had that feeling in my stomach a few times and I’d never wish anyone to feel that,” she said. Coleen added: “You do think, ‘Do I actually know this person?’, when things like that happen . . . you’re not the person I married and you’re not the person I want you to be.” She said that Wayne “wanted it all to go back to normal” but she said that it “wasn’t as easy as that”. “I was still mad and I just didn’t know what the future was for us as a couple,” Coleen explained. “I said to him, ‘I just can’t carry on with this’.”
