Baby gifts for Rooney's first child - 03/11/09
Footballer Wayne Rooney will be preparing for some lavish baby gifts from his family and Manchester United teammates after his wife Coleen gave birth to a baby boy.
The couple's first child, Kai Wayne Rooney, was born at 2.20pm at Liverpool Women's Hospital on Monday, a spokesman for the couple confirmed.
Speculation had grown that the baby was coming after 24-year-old Wayne missed training for Manchester United, and the England star will almost certainly miss out on his side's next fixture against CSKA Moscow on Tuesday.
The spokesman said: "Mother and baby are both absolutely fine. Wayne and Coleen are thrilled with the wonderful addition to their family life."
News that Coleen, 23, was pregnant emerged earlier this year although rumours had regularly circulated since the couple's spectacular wedding on the Italian Riviera last summer.
Coleen is the eldest of four children to bricklayer dad Tony and nursery nurse mum Colette. Wayne is the eldest of three. Both have large extended families.
Rooney's parents Jeanette and Wayne senior have two other sons, John and Graham.
The couple have been together since they were 14, and the England star reportedly proposed on a petrol station forecourt in Liverpool.
