Coleen’s upset over new baby claims

- By Daisy Mclure

he gave birth S to her fourth baby just eight months ago, and fans were quick to praise Coleen Rooney for oozing confidence on the beach in Barbados last week.

Coleen, 32, who shares sons Kai, eight, Klay, seven, Kit, two, and eight-month-old Cass, with footballer husband Wayne Rooney, 31, was enjoying a sunshine break after relocating to the States, and looked relaxed as she enjoyed some family time with her sons.

Fans applauded the mum for her laid-back approach, with one online supporter saying, “I really admire her for her ‘don’t give a f***’ attitude. She doesn’t filter or nip and tuck and pretend she hasn’t had four babies in that tummy. She looks fab and ‘real’.” While another added, “She looks great and NATURAL.”

However, photos of the tanned and toned star in her bikini appeared to show a small bump, leading some fans to speculate that the mum of four might be adding to her brood. One commented, “Looks like she is having another baby,” while another added, “Is she pregnant?”

Now, sources close to Coleen – who recently moved to Washington following Wayne’s transfer to D.C. United football team – say they wouldn’t be surprised if she’s been left hurt by the pregnancy rumours.

UPSETTING COMMENTS

A source says, “She only gave birth eight months ago, and she’s had four kids to look after and a big move. It’s upsetting to read any personal comments and no woman likes to be the subject of pregnancy speculatio­n. She just wanted to enjoy a family holiday and not stir up any kind of fuss.”

Insiders have previously revealed how Coleen had hoped their move to the States would mark a fresh beginning for her and Wayne after a tough 2017 – which saw the footballer arrested for drink-driving while behind the wheel of party girl Laura Simpson’s car.

And in May, the star ruled out having more children following

the birth of her fourth son.

She said, “I’m done having any more, definitely. I’ve always said I would like three children, so four was pushing it. I was never obsessed with having a girl. It would’ve been nice, but I’ve got the boys.”

Coleen also revealed she’d lost her baby weight more easily after Cass was born in February. In an interview, she said, “A lot of the weight has come off naturally from running around after the kids. I try to eat healthily throughout the week, but at weekends, I like having a takeaway or going out for a meal, or having a few glasses of wine. I’m not really strict with myself because I think you have to enjoy life as well.”

NO PRESSURE

Coleen has talked in the past about the gym being a chance to have some “me time” away from the children, and insiders say that while she’s dipping her toes into exercise again, she’s not putting any pressure on herself.

An insider says, “She’s stopped doing as much yoga as she doesn’t have the same group of friends that she used to go with because she’s moved to the US. They have a home gym in the States, and when she has time, she’ll do a mix of gentle cardio and weights, but she’s yet to properly get into her groove like she was before Cass arrived.

“Her friends admit she would ‘never say never’ when it comes to a fifth child, but it’s a juggling act having a big family and supporting Wayne’s career, so she has a lot on her plate already.”
