A Lavish Celebration for Coleen Rooney’s 40th Birthday
Coleen Rooney, the wife of former footballer Wayne Rooney, recently celebrated her 40th birthday in style with a lavish party that brought together an impressive array of celebrities and friends. The event took place at their £20 million mansion in Cheshire, where guests arrived in luxury, including a helicopter landing on the property.
The party was held in a massive white marquee set up in the 50-acre grounds of the home, offering a grand setting for the festivities. Among the notable attendees were Phil Jones and his wife Kaya Hall, TV personality Leanne Brown, and Irish footballer Darron Gibson, who arrived with another guest in a black car. Irish singer-songwriter Dermot Kennedy also made an appearance, adding to the star-studded guest list.
In one photo, the outdoor marquee could be seen being erected in the garden, with guests arriving in chauffeured cars. The celebrations are expected to include hundreds of bottles of champagne on ice, a world-famous singer to entertain the VIP crowd, and a strict phone ban to ensure privacy.
Wayne’s footballer friends, including Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, and Darren Fletcher, are all on the guest list, along with Coleen’s WAG pals such as Annie Kilner and Abbey Clancy. A friend of Coleen’s told The Mirror that she loves to party and will be up dancing during the celebrations.
“Coleen parties like a good northern lass,” they said. “She’s a very normal girl at the end of the day — she just likes a good time and having fun. It will be epic.”
Earlier on Friday, Wayne and his lookalike son Kai headed to the barbers in Cheshire ahead of the party. Wayne cut a casual figure as the barber worked, while Kai, 16, was seen arriving with takeaway food for the pair. The teen was dressed in a grey tracksuit with chunky trainers and a £400 Louis Vuitton beanie.
While Coleen organized a surprise party for Wayne’s 40th in October last year, he has not returned the favor, steering clear of planning the party out of fear of disappointing her. She once said, “He always uses the excuse of ‘it wouldn’t be good enough for you.’ He’s not really a planner, so he’ll say ‘there’s no point in me doing it because you’d want to do it yourself.'”
A source told The Mirror: “[Coleen] wants to have a good time without anyone filming anything like Wayne falling on the dance floor or being drunk. It’s going to be very high protection when it comes to this. It’s a private party. There’s no one that can party like Coleen.”
Although it is unclear who will be performing, it has been claimed that “no expense has been spared” on the “Mariah Carey level singer.” The source added: “The guest list is obviously going to be A-list and very football-related. There’s going to be all of Wayne’s old teammates, the ex-Manchester United squad, and everyone that’s played with Wayne, including David Beckham.”
“[Wayne] wants Rio Ferdinand there, if he can get over from Dubai. There are a few players that might not be able to make it, but it is going to be full of people that have been there for them.”
Meanwhile, fellow WAG and pal Tanya Bardsley showed off her new hair extensions ahead of the swanky bash. She also posted a tribute to Coleen on her Instagram Stories, which read: “Happy birthday to this gorgeous icon, can’t wait to celebrate with you later.”
Coleen reportedly has hundreds of bottles of champagne on ice for the bank holiday weekend marking her milestone day. Caterers and staff will keep the party running smoothly, with insiders saying no expense has been spared for Coleen.
An insider told The Sun: “Coleen loves a good knees-up. She can afford a lovely lifestyle and everything at the party will be classy and beautifully done. But for her, plenty of booze, good music, and her family is all she will want. There’s going to be live music and you can guarantee Wayne will be getting up on the microphone. He loves to sing and will be keen to give everyone a tune or two.”
Ahead of the bash, Coleen said: “I’m looking forward to it, I love a birthday and a celebration. I have decided to enjoy a couple of different celebrations with family and friends over the year, and with my birthday falling over Easter weekend, some friends are away — so any opportunity to extend the celebrations…”
