Wayne Rooney has told friends he will make no attempt to rescue his marriage if his wife decides to leave him.

The 24-year-old multi-millionaire footballer is said not to care whether Coleen seeks a divorce after a prostitute claimed that he paid her thousands of pounds for sex while his wife was pregnant. Rooney is apparently adamant that he will not be criticised by Coleen and her parents.

A source said: "Wayne is not prepared to take any s*** off the wife and her family, not least because they re all living a very nice life off the back of his talent.

"If she can't handle it and it's over, so be it. Seems he thinks he can pretty much do what the hell he likes because they'd all be nothing without him."

According to vice girl Jennifer Thompson, Rooney never made any attempt to conceal their relationship.

Tellingly, Rooney and his advisers made no legal move to gag Thompson — in contrast to other members of the England squad who have spent tens of thousands of pounds obtaining court orders preventing their names and details of their alleged indiscretions being published.
