Childhood sweethearts from the age of 12 when they met at school in Croxteth, Liverpool, Coleen and Wayne began their relationship before the fame and fortune came along.

Coleen and Wayne married in 2008 after dating for six years. With no expenses spared, the wed in a lavish ceremony in Portofino, Italy. It's rumoured that Wayne and Coleen received a hefty £2.8 million for their wedding pictures.

In April 2009, after weeks of hinting and speculation, Coleen announced that she was pregnant with her and Wayne's first baby together. After dropping clues in her weekly OK! magazine column, she confirmed the baby news to her readers. "It's true - I'm pregnant. It's the most brilliant news and along with marrying Wayne, the best thing that's ever happened to me," Coleen said in her column.

The pregnancy came as a relief to Coleen, as she previously admitted that she worried she'd have problems conceiving, after her parents Colette and Tony spent seven years trying to conceive Coleen.

"I was concerned that it might take me a while to fall pregnant, but luckily I didn't struggle and couldn't be happier." She previously admitted that she would've considered adoption if she couldn't conceive. "Adoption does appeal to me because my little sister is adopted."

Coleen and Wayne decided to keep the sex of their unborn baby a surprise and said that "we really don't mind, as long as he or she is healthy." They even bought everything neutral and only splurged on white babygro's before they met their baby.

Along with her beloved Christian Louboutin heels, Coleen refused to give up her sunshine holidays and took her family and baby bump on an array of exotic getaways before her baby was born. "People always ask me how I dealt with the hot sun during my pregnancy, but I felt absolutely fine and thought the sun did me good," Coleen said at the time.

As a normal sized girl, Coleen put on weight during her pregnancy but wasn't bothered by it at all. Determined not to shed the weight as soon as she'd given birth, Coleen went to the gym during her pregnancy but lightened the load with gentle exercises.

Although Coleen didn't have any pregnancy cravings, she did have the urge to eat lot's of sugar, in the form of chocolate Curly Wurly's and M&Ms!

"Coleen's very level headed and understands that when a craving comes, it's her baby's way of telling her it needs sugar or salt," a source said at the time. As well as lack of cravings, Coleen also avoided morning sickness and swollen ankles! "I never had any sickness or swollen, sore feet - I was lucky and loved every minute of it!"

Despite Coleen having a smooth pregnancy, she admitted that she wasn't sure if she'd have another so soon, even though Wayne would disagree. "Wayne would probably want me to have another on straight away but it's not him having it! I would like 3, maybe 4 children, but we'll have to see how the first one goes!"

However, they were both really excited to become parents for the first time, so much so, they even held a 4D ultrasound party for friends! A sonographer set up the machine and carried out a 30-minute scan of the baby in full view of everyone.

Coleen gave birth to their first baby, a son named Kai, on November 2, 2009, at the Liverpool Women's Hospital. Wayne was by her side at the birth and their baby boy weighed 8lb 2oz. Coleen was praised for snubbing a celebrity mums favourite for a NHS run hospital in Liverpool.

Although Coleen insisted that she wasn't bothered about her baby weight gain, she enlisted a personal trainer for her post-birth fitness plan, but said she was going to take it slowly. Ten days after she gave birth, Coleen was spotted looking fabulous at a Beyonce concert and was later seen looking like a yummy mummy whilst taking her son on his first shopping trip.

Kai Rooney was first spotted during a trip to see his dad play football, with him donning a bespoke Manchester United football shirt with 'Daddy' emblazoned on the back. The couple snubbed £1 million magazine deal for the first pictures of Kai.

In September 2010, Coleen and Wayne's relationship was put into turmoil when it was revealed that Wayne had an affair with a prostitute. It allegedly happened at the same time Coleen was pregnant with son Kai. Although Coleen was said to have been "heartbroken", the couple stayed together.

It was even recently claimed that Coleen and Wayne were planning to have a second baby.
