Coleen Rooney has poked fun at her husband Wayne after he revealed a cheeky prank she pulled on him during Liverpool’s 2020 Premier League title celebrations. The Manchester United legend admitted he locked Coleen out of their house after returning home to find it draped in Liverpool flags. Now, Coleen has responded with a tongue-in-cheek post on social media.

Coleen shares hilarious dig at Wayne

Wayne shared on his podcast that Coleen had hung Liverpool flags around their home when Jurgen Klopp’s side lifted the Premier League trophy in 2020. The Manchester United legend, who grew up an Everton fan, was furious and locked his wife out when she climbed out to remove them. Coleen has since hit back by sharing a photo of the flags, alongside laughing and winking emojis.

The incident highlighted the light-hearted but very real football rivalry within the Rooney household. Wayne spent 13 years at Manchester United and two stints at Everton, both fierce rivals of Liverpool, making Coleen’s stunt all the more provocative. Despite the mischief, the couple have continued to laugh off their divided loyalties, even as Liverpool chase further glory under Arne Slot.

Rooney’s Everton roots remain strong, with the 39-year-old still openly cheering on the Toffees. He featured in seven Merseyside derbies against Liverpool during his career, and the rivalry remains close to his heart. Coleen, however, has never hidden her allegiance to the Reds, a difference that continues to spark playful clashes between the pair.
