AFTER finding love as childhood sweethearts, Wayne and Coleen Rooney have gone on to become one of the UK's leading power couples.
As mum Coleen gets set to be an I'm A Celebrity star, we take a look at the lives of her and her husband's huge brood of kids.
Wayne and Coleen Rooney have four sons together.
The couple exchanged vows in Portofino, Italy, in June 2008.
The pair, who were both 22 at the time, spared no expense when it came to their wedding, with their incredible day is believed to have cost a cool £5M.
Coleen and Wayne first met when they were just 12-years-old in the Liverpool suburb of Croxteth.

They started going out when they were 16 after leaving school.
The couple married in 2008, and welcomed their first of four boys the following year.
Kai Wayne Rooney
Kai is the eldest of the Rooney boys, and was born on November 2, 2009.
Following in the steps of his father, Kai signed his first ever contract with Man United U13 team in December 2020, after turning down several other clubs.
After he put pen to paper, Wayne wrote on Instagram: "Proud day. Kai signing for Man Utd. Keep up the hard work son."
Kai continues to this day to excel in football, scoring four goals for the Red Devils' Under-12 team as they took on rivals Liverpool.
He has since been branded the "future of Man Utd’ and is hoping to continue his progress and play for the first-team in the next ten years.

The young striker told The Mirror: "That’s where I see myself but I’ve got to make it happen with the hard work and everything behind the scenes."
On who his biggest inspiration is, he added: "I know it's a bit boring but probably my dad as he’s helped me through some of the hard times and taught me a lot about the game.
"Even just being in the car listening to him as a manager talking to all the players."
In May 2024, Kai led the Red Devils' Under-14s to victory in the Albert Phelan National Cup final against Millwall.

Klay is the second child who was born on May 21, 2013.

Coleen broke the news on Twitter to reveal the birth of her new son, she wrote: "So Happy to welcome our Baby Boy .... Cass Mac Rooney into the world weighing a healthy 8lb 10oz.

One fan joked on Twitter at the time: “Can we focus on the real issue as to why she has spelt Cass with a C and not a K.
"You had one job Coleen”.
