Coleen Rooney’s miscarriage left husband Wayne ‘wrecked’ as she revealed he cried as they learned they lost their first baby at ten weeks.
In fact, she was so distraught that she feared that she may not ever become a mother.
The WAG told how the couple were thrilled when they learned she was pregnant a few months after their wedding in 2008.
However, their joy quickly turned to heartache when Mrs Rooney discovered she was bleeding so they dashed to the hospital to find that initially the baby was okay.
‘We were both over the moon when I discovered I was pregnant in late 2008,’ she says in her autobiography, My Account.

‘That was until I started bleeding one morning at about ten weeks. After an examination at the hospital, doctors told us there was a heartbeat but the baby was smaller than it should have been at ten weeks. I went home feeling relieved.’
However, later that day Mrs Rooney says that she was bleeding again so returned to the hospital where doctors told her that she was miscarrying, saying: ‘Of course, we were both devastated by the news.’
Mrs Rooney also said she went home feeling ‘shaken up and hollow.’
But it also affected Wayne, who had been longing to be a father, so much that when they got home to their Cheshire mansion, he wept.
Mrs Rooney added: ‘It’s a strange thing to be feeling all that excitement and joy, only to have it taken away so fast – a horrible experience which knocked Wayne for six too.
‘Back at home that night, he cried. He’d been desperate to be a dad and I could see on his face how wrecked he was with the loss.
‘It’s awful,’ he said. ‘I know you’ve been through such a terrible experience but it’s hard for me as well.’
‘I think he just had to voice his feelings, which wasn’t something he did all that often. It stayed with him for quite a while afterwards, probably right up until I got pregnant again.’

Mrs Rooney said that she struggled to know how to feel about her miscarriage but that she was concerned she may not ever be a mother – especially because, she says her own mother Colette struggled to get pregnant.
She writes in her book: ‘This had been my first pregnancy and it had gone wrong, I couldn’t help wondering what this meant – was I going to be one of those unlucky women who couldn’t carry a baby, who couldn’t have kids?
‘I thought about my mum, although she never miscarried, she’s really struggled with getting pregnant – it took her years and she went through a lot of fertility treatment.’
A few months later, the Rooneys discovered that they were expecting their son Kai, now 14. She says of finding out she was pregnant again: ‘That wonderful news lifted up back up again.’
