Manchester, England – Wayne Rooney just scored the own-goal of the century. In 2010, while Coleen Rooney, seven months pregnant with their second son Klay, posed for glossy maternity shoots, her £250k-a-week Manchester United husband was blowing £8,400 on seven secret hotel hookups with escort Jennifer Thompson. The scandal, first detonated by News of the World, exploded again on X last night with leaked police transcripts and Thompson’s fresh podcast bombshell.
The timeline is brutal: Four months. Seven nights. £1,200 cash each time. One marathon session? A £3,600 threesome with fellow escort Helen Wood at the five-star Lowry Hotel, complete with “lingerie, toys, and role-play,” per Thompson’s 2010 statement. Rooney texted from Carrington training ground: “Room 506. Bring the red set.” Coleen, nesting in their Cheshire mansion with toddler Kai, was clueless—until the tabloid front page screamed betrayal.
Coleen’s response? Ice-cold. She fled to her parents with newborn Kai, yanked her wedding ring, and lawyered up. Rooney, then 24 and fresh off England’s World Cup flop, sobbed on live TV: “I’m sorry. I was stupid.” Thompson, now 35 and a reality TV regular, spilled more in 2023: “He cried after the first time. Said he loved Coleen but couldn’t stop. Fame made him reckless.”
X is a warzone. #RooneyCheatedPregnant rocketed to 2.9 million posts in 12 hours, memes splicing Rooney’s bicycle kick with a pregnant Coleen pushing a pram—captioned “Scored off the pitch too.” Liverpool fans trolled with “Jennifer! Jennifer!” chants at Anfield. Bookies slashed odds on Coleen filing divorce to 3/1.
Rooney, now a BBC pundit after his Plymouth sacking, ghosted comment requests. Coleen, 38, posted a cryptic IG Story: “Stronger every day .” Insiders say she’s “done forgiving”—but with four sons and a £100 million empire, walking away isn’t simple.
From Old Trafford hero to hooker headline, Rooney’s legacy is in tatters. One viral tweet nails it: “He beat defenders. Couldn’t beat temptation.” The beautiful game? It just got ugly.
