“We were going to a party as one of our friends was turning 18, who was a bit older than us,” she told Stick To Football, brought to you by Sky Bet. “That day, I got a phone call, and it was his cousin who asked me if I spelled my name with one L or two L’s.
“I said one L and asked why, and he said he was in the town with Wayne who was getting a tattoo! He walks into the party with his top off, showing everyone – I felt ashamed.
“He told me it was fine because we were going to be together forever.”
The pair have four sons together, 15-year-old Kai is the eldest and is currently on the books of Manchester United.

Coleen revealed that Kai has been forced to battle the difficulties that come with being the son of one of England’s greatest ever players during his career so far.
She said: “A few years ago, I remember my son Kai took a penalty at St George’s Park, where we were for a tournament. It went to penalties, Kai stepped up and just skied it.
"Afterwards I asked him how he could take a penalty like that, and he told me he was just fuming as the goalkeeper was saying: ‘Your dad’s sh*t’, and he got dead angry.

“It doesn’t happen to him very often, but it did then, and you can see in some games where they give you a little push. He’s strong-minded though and usually shrugs it off."
