The trailer opens with a shot of Coleen and former England player Wayne’s sprawling Chesire mansion. But Coleen quickly admits even her dream property comes with a noisy catch.
“This house is everything I’ve dreamed of,” she says. “The only thing is, we’ve got to share it with our four boys.”
The children also get some of the trailer’s bluntest punchlines.
Asked which parent is most famous, Klay, 13, replies: “My dad. My mum’s only famous because of my dad.”
The footage also shows Wayne taking greater responsibility for school runs as Coleen returns to work. Following her stint in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! and that Wagatha Christie trial, she’s landed a clothing deal with Primark.
Wayne is struggling though. He describes the house as “chaos”. He then adds: “Why did we have kids?”
When asked if he and Coleen are likely to have more children, Wayne fires back: “Who us?! No chance! I’ve had the snip!”
The series will also show eldest son, 16-year-old Kai, as he pursues his own footballing ambitions.
Wayne and Coleen Rooney share a tense holiday exchange
The series will follow the Rooneys on various luxury holidays, including to Disneyland Paris and the snowy Alps. They will also head to their favourite hotspot, Barbados.
Sitting on the beach together, the cameras catch Coleen and Wayne in a tense exchange.
She warns her husband: “This is meant to be a family holiday. You can’t keep doing what you do.”
The footage gives no further explanation for her warning, so the cause of the spat remains unclear..
Wayne is, however, seen responding with another joke: “The doghouse manual. I’m on my third book,” he says, during a confessional to the camera.
Coleen and Wayne are the latest football family to invite the cameras into the lives. Earlier this year, Coleen’s arch enemy, Rebekah Vardy, starred in her own ITV series with husband Jamie.
This month, Meet the Owens, starring Michael Owen and his family, dropped on Prime Video.
Explaining their decision to do a show, Coleen concludes in the Rooneys’ Disney+ trailer: “No one knows the real Rooneys. This is a side of us we’ve never shown before.”
