    Coleen Rooney says she used to get annoyed by the term \u201cWag\u201d. <\/p>\n

    The 37-year-old felt it meant people assumed all footballers\u2019 wives and girlfriends were the same types of people. Coleen, who was involved in a 2022 libel case with Rebekah Vardy, 41, known as the Wagatha Christie trial, said: \u201cWe have all lived different lives.<\/p>\n

    \u201cWe are all individuals. To bring us all together in one term is unfair. But it\u2019s one of them things.\u201d The term WAG was first used in 2002 to describe the wives and girlfriends of footballers.<\/p>\n

    The mum-of-four has been married to former England striker Wayne, 37, since 2008. She added: \u201cThe people that matter to me, as long as they take me seriously, everyone else can have their say.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    \u201cI don\u2019t know these people making the comments so it doesn\u2019t matter to me. When I meet people in person then hopefully they will get that I am a serious person and I do have views on life.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI\u2019m a strong woman and I know the right and wrongs of life.\u201d It comes after Coleen reportedly told her husband Wayne: "I just can\u2019t carry on with this," when their relationship hit the rocks amid allegations he cheated. <\/p>\n

    According to The Sun, Coleen shares that it was tough after Wayne was caught driving another woman home. The sports star drove Laura Simpson in her car after a night out in 2017. <\/p>\n

    He said in the same documentary that \u201cthere was never any talk of anything happening, or going to happen\u201d but Coleen said she was left "heartbroken" over the whole thing. The star – who was on holiday with their children and her parents at the time – said it was "just sickening\u201d.<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n

    \u201cI\u2019ve had that feeling in my stomach a few times and I\u2019d never wish anyone to feel that," she said. Coleen added: \u201cYou do think, \u2018Do I actually know this person?\u2019, when things like that happen . . . you\u2019re not the person I married and you\u2019re not the person I want you to be.\u201d She said that Wayne "wanted it all to go back to normal" but she said that it "wasn\u2019t as easy as that". "I was still mad and I just didn\u2019t know what the future was for us as a couple," Coleen explained. "I said to him, \u2018I just can\u2019t carry on with this\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n
