New Delhi: Wayne Rooney is set to become a father in light of recent news that his wife is three months pregnant.
English international and Manchester United golden boy Wayne Rooney has recently revealed that he is soon to become a first-time father, after hearing news that his wife Coleen has been pregnant for three months.
The news came out soon after the striker netted two goals for his country in Saturday's 4-0 demolition of Slovakia.
"Wayne and Coleen are both thrilled and really excited about becoming parents," a family friend told the Daily Mail.
"They don't know if they're having a girl or a boy yet, but they've said they will be delighted with either. They've always wanted to start a family together, so this is their dream coming true."
Rooney admitted recently that he would like three or four children, having grown up with many siblings. Coleen, however, is not greatly keen on the idea just yet.
"Until you’ve had one child you can’t really tell how many you’d like," the 22-year-old admitted.
It is rumoured that a £1 million deal has been tabled for the first pictures of the couple's baby which is due in late September.
Bookmakers have already started taking bets on what the Rooney's will name their firstborn, with odds sitting at 4-1 on 'Alex' (after Sir Alex Ferguson) and a less convincing 25-1 on a baby girl being named 'Waynetta'.
