Coleen McLoughlinColeen McLoughlin has confirmed that she is going to change her name to Coleen Rooney, after marrying Wayne Rooney in June this year.

The WAG was rumoured to be planning to keep her own name for professional purposes but she’s now confirmed that she’s making a gradual change over to her married name.

She explained: “I’m changing my name completely. At first I thought about keeping my own name, then I thought about using both names and then I said to Wayne, ‘What do you want me to do?’ And he said, ‘I want you to change it’. I thought, ‘You know what, when I eventually have children I’d like us all to have the same name’.

“It also means a lot to Wayne. If you ask him what he finds special about being married, he’ll say it’s the fact that I took his name and we’ve now got the same surnames.

“It’s nice and I’ve got used to it now I’ve been practising signing my new signature.

“At first I was like, Oh my God, I’ve got a husband. It felt quite strange. But now I’m made up with it.

“Loads of people ask me if I feel different now I’m married and I don’t very much. The one thing that is different though is the extra commitment. It feels special knowing that he’s mine and I’m his in marriage.

“[Our wedding] was such a special day and it’s still so fresh in our minds. We’re only just getting our pictures back now and we’re waiting for our wedding video, so [the newlywed feeling] is going to go on forever!”
