Coleen Rooney shares the meaning behind son’s name and special link to her maiden name in emotional I’m A Celeb moment
I’M A Celebrity star Coleen Rooney has revealed the real meaning behind her youngest son’s name.
The WAG shares four sons with husband Wayne – Kai, 15, Klay, 11, Kit, eight, and Cass, six.
And last night, the star opened up about a miscarriage during a conversation with her I’m A Celeb co-stars.
The mum-of-four, 38, shared her story during a conversation with I’m a Celebrity stars Oti Mabuse and GK Barry – admitting she’d have “liked a girl for Wayne.”
“I’ve had two miscarriages and I don’t know whether that has been girls, you know sometimes they say you can’t carry a certain sex, but they don’t investigate until you have your third one,” the star said.
She also spoke about her children’s names, which predominantly begin with the letter ‘K.’
One of the Rooney kids doesn’t share the ‘K’ initial with his brothers, as youngest Cass begins with a ‘C’.
Sharing why she chose not to follow suit with the ‘K’ initial, Coleen revealed: “I looked up the meaning of the name Cassius and with a K it meant blackbird, and with a C it meant clever.”
Cass’ middle name is Mac which is a sweet nod to Coleen herself, as her pals used to call her Coleen Mac when her maiden name was McLoughlin.
Coleen also revealed that Cass’ initials, Cass Mac Rooney, meant “clever son of Rooney,” and declared: “That’s the only connection I’ve got to the kids!”
But when it comes to her three other sons, Coleen has opted for ‘K.’
It’s been reported that Coleen and Wayne chose all ‘K’ names for their first three boys because they simply like the sound of the ‘K’ at the start.
During Coleen’s chat about children, the star added to her co-stars that suffering the losses was “horrible” for her, but that it was also really hard on ex-footballer Wayne.
She continued: “I feel for the men in this situation…
“Wayne really felt it the first time round and it wasn’t until later on that I thought, ‘Do you know what, everyone’s fussing around me, but not him and he had to just get up and go to work as normal’, it’s quite hard.”
I'm A Celeb 2024 - late entries
MAURA Higgins is a late entry to I'm A Celeb 2024. Yet who is joining her?
2019 Love Island star Maura, 33, will be a late entry to the jungle line-up.
She will head into the I’m A Celeb camp, along with the Reverend Richard Coles, 62.
The duo will join the likes of Coleen Rooney, Barry McGuigan and Danny Jones in Ant and Dec’s jungle camp a week into this year’s star-spangled series.
Yet initially the duo will have their own private base – and a secret mission – before heading into the main compound Down Under.
Maura has already described the jungle as “hell.”
Meanwhile Richard, who has starred on Strictly, has confessed his biggest “fear.”
Coleen has been very frank when it comes to discussing her personal life while in the jungle.
She previously left her campmates in hysterics as she took a cheeky swipe at her husband.
Wayne took over as the head coach at Plymouth Argyle Football Club in May.
Discussing the move, Danny Jones asked: “Is he loving managing?”
Coleen responded: “Yeah, he does enjoy it, it’s hard though. I find it more nerve wracking him being a manager than I did… I feel more pressure.”
