WHAT A SOURCE SAID
A source has told Heat: “Financially, Wayne doesn’t need another manager’s job, which just brings a lot of stress and takes him away from home. Coleen wants him to focus on their marriage and the family.”
Heat’s insider added on what to expect from ‘The Rooneys’: “Wayne used to hate being in front of the camera, but he’s more comfortable with it now and the Disney film crew have just become a part of their lives. He’s mainly doing this for Coleen, but he’s still excited to show people how he is as a family man.
“They’re being very open on their show – Coleen knows they have to give viewers an unfiltered look into their world for it to be a success. She accepts that eventually Wayne may want to go back into management and that could mean more time apart, but for now she likes Wayne being at home – they’re having fun and trying new things.”
