Wayne Rooney says quitting alcohol has led to major improvements in his health and relationship with his wife, Coleen. Reports describe him telling outlets that his marriage is now in “a much better place” or “a much happier place,” and that the lifestyle change has also affected his physical and mental wellbeing.
Multiple outlets connect the comments to Rooney’s appearance on “I’m A Celebrity,” framing the story as a personal turnaround ahead of the show. Some coverage focuses on health outcomes such as losing weight, alongside claims that abstaining from booze helped him recover and feel better overall.
The main difference across sources is emphasis and background detail. Right-leaning tabloid coverage highlights the severity of his past alcoholism and includes additional references to earlier relationship scandal, while others concentrate more generally on how lifestyle changes brought him and Coleen closer together. Despite these variations, all accounts center on Rooney’s claims that stopping drinking improved both his wellbeing and his marriage.
