BBC's Wayne Rooney shows off 'World Cup glow up' on date night with Coleen
Wayne Rooney has taken Coleen out on a date night after undergoing a "glow up" ahead of the World Cup and fans rushed to the comments section of his Instagram post to compliment him
Wayne Rooney has taken Coleen out on a date night after undergoing a "glow up" ahead of the World Cup. The former-footballer-turned-pundit, 40, tied the knot with I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! star Coleen, 40, in 2008 and they went on to have four sons together.
On Friday night, Wayne took to social media to post a photo of himself and his wife, where he looked smart in a simple black polo and chinos whilst she opted for a stylish animal print maxi dress.
The sports star did not give any detail as to where they were going, but kept the post romantic by simply posting a red heart emoji and smiley face emoji as the caption.
Since Wayne has reappeared on screen to commentate on the World Cup, the former England player has appeared to have lost weight and has opted for a more clean shaven look after previously sporting a long beard.
Fans of the couple were quick to pile into the comments section to compliment the pair on their appearance, and had noticed just how well Wayne was looking.
One wrote: "You have lost so much weight Wayne, you look Amazing Wayne. Coleen always looks healthy and beautiful," whilst another said: "You are both looking so well. Love that your being a pundit on the matches now."
A third wrote: "You both look so healthy and happy," and a fourth said: "A really lovely photograph ! Congratulations for always pressing on!" When Wayne joined the BBC to cover the World Cup, fans were quick to point out the difference in his appearance even then.
One fan said: "Is it me or has Rooney lost weight? Good on ya fella," whilst another said: "Is it me or does Rooney look noticeably thinner? Looks better clean shaven too." A third said: "Rooney looking proper healthy and noticeably lost loads of weight. Great to see!"
Dozens of other BBC viewers took to social media to praise Rooney’s appearance last week after he made his first television appearance for this summer’s World Cup from the broadcaster’s studio in Salford.
Wearing a smart black polo shirt, fans remarked that ‘Wazza’ looked noticeably more toned as he dissected France ’s opening group win against Senegal alongside fellow pundits Olivier Giroud and Gael Clichy.
Last year, Rooney signed a two-year deal with the BBC worth a reported £800,000, making him one of the broadcaster’s highest-paid pundits. The lucrative agreement has helped to bolster his already sizeable bank balance, with Rooney’s net worth estimated at around £130 million.
That figure places him just behind Match of the Day icon Alan Shearer. The former England star hero earned between £440,000 and £444,999 in 2024, according to BBC figures.
