Coleen Rooney has shared insights into her long-distance marriage with Wayne, who recently relocated to Devon to manage Plymouth. Despite contemplating a move, Coleen chose to remain in Cheshire to support their four sons, all under 15, as they are settled in school. Their eldest son, Kai, is preparing for his GCSEs, making it challenging to uproot the family. Coleen noted that traveling to Devon is easier than when Wayne was in Washington, D.C., where he managed DC United. They maintain regular communication through FaceTime and phone calls, allowing them to stay connected despite the distance. Wayne's new role comes after his previous stint with Birmingham City, and he has also taken on punditry duties for the BBC. The couple had previously considered properties in Salcombe, which is close to Plymouth, but Coleen's reluctance to move outside the North West of England has influenced their decision. She has expressed a strong dislike for America, making it clear that relocating there was not an option. The family dynamic remains a priority for Coleen, who values her support system in Cheshire, where her family resides. Recently, Wayne participated in a charity legends game for Manchester United, showcasing his enduring talent on the field while Coleen and their children cheered him on, highlighting their commitment to supporting each other despite the challenges of a long-distance relationship.
