Rebekah Vardy shares rare family photo after Wagatha Christie trial

Rebekah Vardy has shared a rare family photo with her social media followers. The 40-year-old is currently awaiting the outcome of her Wagatha Christie libel trial after suing fellow footballer's wife Coleen Rooney.

Rebekah is suing Coleen after she accused her of allegedly leaking false stories about her to the tabloids back in 2019. Coleen said she used an Instagram 'sting' to discover Rebekah had been sharing stories with The Sun newspaper.

She denies leaking stories to the media and is suing her fellow footballer's wife for libel, while Coleen is defending the claim on the basis her post was "substantially true". Last week the showdown between the pair - dubbed Wagatha Christie - came to an end. The verdict from Mrs Justice Steyn, who has presided over the proceedings, is expected at a later date.

Coleen and Wayne were pictured lugging a tower of suitcases into Manchester Airport as they left the UK on May 19, after a hectic few weeks. Manchester United legend Wayne has shared a family photo from their trip to Dubai.

Now, Rebekah has broken her own social media silence having not posted to her Instagram account since before the two-week trial began at the High Court. The mum-of-five, who is married to Leicester City striker Jamie, headed to support her husband over the weekend during the final game of the season.

Rebekah and her children - Megan and Taylor from a previous relationship, and Sofia, six, Finlay, four, and baby Olivia, one, with Jamie - headed to Leicester City's final Premier League match at the King Power Stadium.

The family joined Jamie on the pitch and the group of seven smiled for the camera. Alongside the sweet family snap from the pitch, Rebekah added a smiling face with three hearts emoji. And her followers were quick to respond

@jaxhodgkinson echoed: "A beautiful picture." @me1plus4 replied: "Lovely photo!! Beautiful family." @cardy76021 added: "Awesome family photo."

Rebekah and Jamie are reportedly planning to relocate to the United States. She had come under-fire over the Wagatha Christie libel trial against Coleen but it is thought that the Vardys were making plans to move before the case came to court.
