Wayne Rooney took Coleen out on a date night after undergoing a 'glow up' ahead of the World Cup. The former England player, 40, looked smart in a simple black polo and chinos.
What happened?
On Friday night, Wayne posted a photo of himself and his wife on social media, where he received compliments from fans on his new appearance.
The sports star has appeared to have lost weight and opted for a more clean-shaven look after previously sporting a long beard. Fans were quick to notice the difference in his appearance.
Why it matters for Wayne Rooney
Since joining the BBC to cover the World Cup, fans have praised Rooney's new look, with one saying: "You have lost so much weight Wayne, you look Amazing." Another fan said: "You are both looking so well. Love that your being a pundit on the matches now."
Wayne signed a two-year deal with the BBC worth a reported £800,000, making him one of the broadcaster's highest-paid pundits. The lucrative agreement has helped to bolster his already sizeable bank balance, with Rooney's net worth estimated at around £130 million.
What comes next?
Dozens of other BBC viewers took to social media to praise Rooney’s appearance after he made his first television appearance for this summer’s World Cup from the broadcaster’s studio in Salford. Wearing a smart black polo shirt, fans remarked that ‘Wazza’ looked noticeably more toned as he dissected France’s opening group win against Senegal.
The former England star hero earned between £440,000 and £444,999 in 2024, according to BBC figures. That figure places him just behind Match of the Day icon Alan Shearer.
Wayne and Coleen tied the knot in 2008 and have four sons together. On social media, Wayne kept the post romantic by simply posting a red heart emoji and smiley face emoji as the caption.
A third fan wrote: "You both look so healthy and happy," and a fourth said: "A really lovely photograph ! Congratulations for always pressing on!" The couple's fans were delighted to see them looking so well on their date night.
The World Cup has brought Rooney back into the spotlight, with fans praising his new look and his punditry skills. As the tournament continues, Rooney will likely remain a key figure in the BBC's coverage, with his 'glow up' making headlines along the way.
