Coleen Rooney broke down in tears as she opened up about her husband Wayne having sex with prostitutes for the first time after 19 years.
The mum-of-four has spent nearly two decades being the silent and dutiful wife.
Over the decades, he's admitted to romping with prostitutes behind the back of his now wife Coleen and been arrested for drink driving.
But Coleen, 35, couldn’t hold back her emotion as she admitted she’s forgiven but not forgotten her husband's behaviour over the years in a new documentary.
Speaking with tears in her eyes, Coleen struggled to get her words out as she was asked about her husband’s cheating in Rooney - the new documentary about Wayne’s life and football career.
“Life goes on and I’ve accepted, well not accepted, I’ve moved on, you’ve moved on and it’s…,” Coleen struggled.
And when asked if she’s accepted her husband’s infidelities, she said: “No not the behaviour no, it’s not acceptable,” she said.
But Coleen says she has forgiven her childhood sweetheart and she’s got past her anger.
“I forgive him but it wasn’t acceptable,” she said.
“But it’s not something that, if it comes up, we'd talk about it like we’re talking about it now. I haven't got the anger that I did at the time.”
Wayne added: “When these things have happened, we’ve sat down and I’ve explained what’s happened and it’s not nice, it's not a nice thing to have to do.
“It won’t happen again, I don’t want it to happen again and for us to get through it, it was tough.
“Tough days, tough weeks, tough months but I feel we’ve been through hard times and it does make you stronger as well.”
Coleen admits she thinks it’s amazing that they’re still together after Wayne started visiting prostitutes at the age of 16.
He paid £140 to sleep with Charlotte Glover, then 21, and left her with an autograph as a souvenir.
A month later, he had sex with Gina McCarrick, then 37, at a £45-a-time brothel in Liverpool, which he visited 10 times and where he was caught on CCTV.
It's also claimed he had sex there with a 48-year-old grandmother known as "Auld Slapper" who wore a rubber catsuit..
She later denied these claims, while Rooney went on to admit to sleeping with unnamed prostitutes.
The scandal came out in July 2004, devastating Coleen, who had stayed true to her childhood sweetheart after they started dating in secondary school.
Coleen managed to overlook Wayne's past with sex workers - despite the national outcry - and went on to marry him in 2008.
When asked if Coleen thinks it’s amazing they’re still together, she said: “Yeah I do, we’re lucky that we’ve both had the strength and support of each other and people around us to keep going and trying.
“And that’s something that we have had to work at.”
The highly anticipated documentary film Rooney launches on Prime Video on Friday 11th February.
