To think Coleen Rooney is quite classy?

[BryanAir]

I don't normally follow this kind of thing, but I've been on the daily mail a bit recently and so I've seen the cheating malarkey and that she's recently released a statement about it all.

I don't necessarily agree with her staying with him but I thought what she said was honest and heartfelt. (I am v emotional at the moment, so I blame that!!)

She seems intelligent and classy and I don't think he deserves her.
Am I losing my marbles?

Classy is a very judgemental word though, isn't it?

Working class vs middle class? This obviously isn't what you mean, as they're both famously from quite humble backgrounds.

Low class and high class? Where one is bad and one is good?

Do you mean dignified rather than classy? As I would agree with that - personally I think she is bananas staying with him, but I do understand where she is coming from after reading that statement.

What exactly do you mean by classy? Clearly she is not from landed gentry, so not upper class. Do you mean it in the more colloquial way? As in she won’t put out on a first date?

I suppose I mean that, amongst the PR-staged breakups and pointed Instagram and Twitter posts that you sometimes see, and after weeks of horrible headlines, she's taken her time and posted something honest about it all. I think that's rare.

Christ I'm hormonal atm.

Yes ninja I mean dignified, that's a better word to use.

Not sure why people are pretending they don't know what you mean by using the word classy

I agree OP I think she has handled it all fabulously

She doesn't behave in a classy way when you have to share a flight cabin with her. Just a very arrogant, rude woman. Wayne and coleen were on a flight in the seat in front of us, he was very pleasant and kept himself to himself. She thought she was the Queen of Sheba, expected special treatment and scowled at people. Why I dont know, she is only married to a footballer fgs!

Mrs. Rooney may have shown good sense and fortitude in dealing with various marital issues.

The word “classy” is too ambiguous to use for this as it just ends up as an argument about what exactly “classy” means.

I love Colleen. We queued behind her for hours at a theme park and i cannot say how brilliant she was with her kids and her friends she was queuing with. When everyone in the queue realised who she was with she was equally brilliant.. I love her ❤️

I agree, I skim read her statement a few minutes ago and thought "fair play to her". She didn't need to do it and it's none of our business, but it's refreshing to see someone go "it's shit and I'm angry but we're working on it", rather than doing the usual family photo shoot on your annual skiing holiday in an transparent attempt show a united front.

Loyal, perhaps dignified. Unlike her husband.

It’s certainly not dignified or classy IMO to stay with a cheating loser.

She is certainly in a different league to that sleazy oik of a husband she seems determined to hang on to

Don't agree Dozer

I'd definitely say she's not in the least bit classy and she's an idiot for putting up with him and his ongoing antics

ye she does look dignified /classy whatever you want to call it, esp compared to her husband who looks like Shrek and has the charm of a potato.

Well its not that classy holding on to someone just for their money really. Who in their right mind would stay with their husband when he's carried on as bad as Wayne has? Its the money, nothing else.

I really respect her but I think she's a total fool to stay with him and deserves better. Her statement was well written.

I think my opinion changed when someone pointed out to me that should she had chosen to leave she could take Wayne to the bloody cleaners. So it's not necessarily financial.

Either way, she's never known anyone else but him and there's an element of staying with your captor in all this. But that's just my take on it.

I would have LTB but then again that's just my position. Tbh she doesn't have it too bad, many women have sold their souls for far less. Who wouldn't want to spend 10 months of the year on holiday?

" Its the money, nothing else."

I am sure the money doesnt go amiss, but y'know it could be her 'staunch' Catholicism that makes her continue with this marriage.

ps why are only Catholics 'staunch'? Can you be a 'staunch' Anglican?

Well, I think she'd have a good divorce settlement. He's hardly going to make a fortune now playing football. He didn't come off the bench today. His earning potential isn't in the future.

She could divorce him and still have pots of dosh. She doesn't want to. It wouldn't be my choice of course. I do wonder what he would actually have to do to make her walk away but it's up to her.

I would say more pragmatic than classy. She landed herself with a disgusting cheating oaf who can't keep it in his pants when she was barely into her teens. She is about to have her 4th child by him. But she has a lot of money, status and holidays. She's made her bed, so now she's making the best of it. The alternative would be to leave him, be an ex WAG with 4 kids while the inevitable second Mrs Rooney is lording it up in the big house, popping out a few more kids to cut into the money that could just go to her own kids. I'd stay there and go on as many holidays as I could too if I was her. Anything to reduce the time I had to spend shagging him!

holding on to someone just for their money really.

I'll bite...

She's not exactly a pauper herself and would be entitled to more than enough money if she divorced anyway.
