To think Coleen Rooney is quite classy?

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?

She'd a fuckload in the divorce so I doubt it's money related

confusedlittleone · 26/11/2017 18:12

*she'd get

MuseumOfCurry · 26/11/2017 18:15

I'm a believer in staying the course, but I'd have divorced him long ago. He is very sorry, alright, sorry to have been caught.

Creambun2 · 26/11/2017 18:15

Classy? Er no.

JonSnowsWife · 26/11/2017 18:16

For continually going back to someone who has zero regard for her or their kids?

No. Classy isn't the word I'd use.

Mug definitely.

BabyDreams2018 · 26/11/2017 18:17

Classy is not a word I would ever use to describe either of the Rooneys. She may be worth some money but they would be worth a lot more together than apart.

SumThucker · 26/11/2017 18:18

No, not classy. A classic fool, maybe.

NotTheFordType · 26/11/2017 18:19

YABVVU for reading the daily fail.

I personally get a bit baffled how people become so invested in the marriages of people they have never met, to the point where one of the parties has to make official statements to the media. But I accept I'm in the minority.

NameChanger22 · 26/11/2017 18:19

She's ok. Classy is not the first word that I'd use to describe her. The words I'd use are lucky, to describe her financial situation. And, desperate, as far as her love life is concerned. I don't know her at all, so I can't comment on the rest of her life.

I only know she married a millionaire, wore some mediocre clothes, lost and gained weight a few times and then desperately hung onto a sleaze bag.

Seniorcitizen1 · 26/11/2017 18:28

She lacks self respect. He has cheated on her with prositutes and others and takes him back and has more children with him. She had her own millions - if she had self respect she would show him the door.

BonnieF · 26/11/2017 18:28

I wouldn't use the word 'classy', but it's clear that Coleen Rooney is an intelligent woman who knows very well which side her and her family's bread is buttered.

She is obviously determined to keep her family together for the sake of her kids, and who am I to criticise her for that.

JonSnowsWife · 26/11/2017 18:31

She'd a fuckload in the divorce so I doubt it's money related

Not necessarily so. A lot of these couples are worth more together than apart - sponsorship deals etc.

Personally I don't think continually being disrespected (and yes cheating on your wife constantly IS disrespecting you) is a good advert for a long and stable marriage.

SilverySurfer · 26/11/2017 18:37

I definitely wouldn't say classy. I can't figure out why she married the ugly little oik in the first place. Presumably for his money but if she left now she would be in for a big share. Where's her self respect, putting up with him behaving so badly over and over?

JonSnowsWife · 26/11/2017 18:38

She is obviously determined to keep her family together for the sake of her kids, and who am I to criticise her for that.

That's such a copout. Many separated parents get on just fine despite not staying together 'for the sake of their kids'.

gamerwidow · 26/11/2017 18:45

Classy would be to maintain a dignified silence rather than put out a public statement about the state of her marriage.
I feel genuinely sad for her though, she sounds completely deluded like every other woman who has been treated like shit by her man but is desperately trying to convince herself this time is the time he is going to change.
The penny will drop one day and she'll be well rid and happier for it.

lovemylover · 26/11/2017 18:52

Cant understand why she keeps getting pregnant ,unless they are catholics maybe, but I think shes a fool, he will do it again, and the excuse with these men is they cant help it they are sex addicts

Lizzylou · 26/11/2017 18:55

I think that there would have been a different outcome if she hadn't have been pregnant at the time of his latest (discovered) indiscretion.
Wayne Rooney is everything I despise about modern culture, just because he can kick a ball around he feels like he can do anything and get away it. Shag OAP prostitutes? Fine. Have highly publicised threesomes with prostitutes? forgiven. Drink drive? OK. That rant about England fans? forgotten.
Let's face it, what Premiership footballer needs to pay for sex? He is so lacking in so many ways. NO idea why she keeps on forgiving him, but that's her business, as has been mentioned, she wouldn't exactly be living on the streets should she divorce him.

Lizzylou · 26/11/2017 18:56

lovemylover, she very obviously wants a girl.
Like Victoria Beckham

JaneEyre70 · 26/11/2017 19:03

I think you can pretty much guarantee this baby will be a girl........ let's hope he can show a daughter more respect than he shows her mum Sad

luckylavender · 26/11/2017 19:03

I think she's a complete mug. I don't believe she has been with him since before he was famous, I think he was with someone else and she muscled in. And I agree about the status, especially if he were to remarry & have more children. Plenty of wannabes who would I'm sure. She's done her pact with the devil. I hope her boys don't learn that's how you treat women. And if she had any dignity there wouldn't have been a tacky statement.

Lweji · 26/11/2017 19:05

to the point where one of the parties has to make official statements to the media.

Everybody knows that Twitter is the medium for official statements, not Facebook.

Lizzylou · 26/11/2017 19:07

Lucky I think it is fairly well documented that they have been together since school. I

Mince314 · 26/11/2017 19:09

WEre they in Madrid 8 months ago?

AnyFucker · 26/11/2017 19:12

How is it guaranteed Coleen is having a girl ?

luckylavender · 26/11/2017 19:16

They met at school but started dating when they left when Wayne had already signed for Everton, so hardly a nobody. His childhood sweetheart was someone else.
