In addition to Everton, Rooney supports Celtic. He is also a supporter of the Leeds Rhinos rugby league club. Rooney, originally a boxer, still pursues the sport recreationally for stress relief. A friend of boxer Ricky Hatton, in 2007 he carried one of Hatton’s belts into the ring in his world light-welterweight title fight against José Luis Castillo in Las Vegas. The decision of Hatton (a Manchester City fan) to have a Manchester United striker carry the belt prompted threats of a boycott among the many Manchester City supporters who made up Hatton’s fanbase. Hatton responded, “Nobody hates United more than me. Just because I don’t support his team doesn’t mean I can’t admire what he has done.” Rooney has a number of tattoos, including one of a Celtic cross on his arm. Rooney met his wife, Coleen Rooney (née McLoughlin), while both were at secondary school. They married on 12 June 2008 after six years of dating. He has a tattoo of the words “Just Enough Education to Perform”, the title of an album by his favourite band, the Stereophonics; Coleen arranged for the group to play at their wedding reception. The wedding ran into some controversy with the Catholic Church. The couple held a religious ceremony at the Abbey of Cervara, a converted monastery near Genoa, despite being warned by the local bishop’s office against the plan. The bishop’s office told the Rooneys that La Cervara is deconsecrated and not suitable for a wedding. It suggested a different church, five miles away. Nevertheless, the couple ignored the advice and Father Edward Quinn, their local Catholic priest from Croxteth, presided over the ceremony. Coleen’s favourite pop band Westlife also sang at the wedding reception. The couple have four sons: Kai Wayne (born 2 November 2009), Klay Anthony (born 21 May 2013), Kit Joseph (born 24 January 2016), and Cass Mac (born 15 February 2018). Kai Rooney signed with Manchester United in 2020, becoming a second-generation player for the Red Devils. In 2004, Rooney admitted to soliciting prostitutes in Liverpool, while dating his then-girlfriend. “I was young and stupid. It was at a time when I was very young and immature and before I had settled down with Coleen.” In April 2006, Rooney was awarded £100,000 in libel damages from tabloids The Sun and News of the World, who had claimed that he had assaulted Coleen in a nightclub. Rooney donated the money to charity. Rooney’s younger brother, John Rooney, is also a professional footballer who plays for Oldham Athletic. Rooney’s cousin, Tommy Rooney, is also a footballer. Another cousin, Jake Rooney, is also a professional footballer for Derby County.
