Now, 35, Coleen says she struggled living in Formby away from her family and friends in Liverpool – and she was often left in tears.
The couple moved into a £900k property on Millionaire's Row, which was a far cry from her family home.
Speaking in the new Amazon Prime documentary 'Rooney', Coleen shares: “The thought of it was all fine and great, but obviously you were away every weekend and I used to leave my mum's and cry all the way home to mine.
“It was all of a sudden and it was a matter of months, everything just happened.”
She adds: “We've always grown up quicker than what we were meant to I think. We've had to try and be more sensible than most people and be aware of situations and what's going on around us.”

The couple, who went on their first date when they were 13, now live in an incredible mansion in Cheshire, which they built from scratch and is believed to have cost around £20 million.
Elsewhere in the documentary, out this Friday, the WAG revealed her fury over Wayne’s numerous affairs – saying they were “not acceptable”.

She says she felt anger over the striker’s behaviour and said friends asked her why she had stuck by the former England and Man Utd ace after he was caught romping with prostitutes behind her back.
Coleen said it was amazing that their 13-year-marriage has survived, and she chose not to leave him partly for the sake of their boys.
She says: “Life goes on and I’ve moved on. You’ve moved on. Not the behaviour, no. It’s not acceptable.
“Forgiveness I’d say is different. It’s not acceptable what he’s done but it’s happened and that was a stage of life that we were in at the time. But we’ve moved on.
“I forgive him but it wasn’t acceptable. If it comes up we talk about it like we are talking about it now. I haven’t got the anger I did at the time.”
She added: “I do think it’s amazing that we are where we are today. We’re lucky that we both had the strength and support of each other and the people around us to keep going. That’s something we’ve had to work hard at.
“I wouldn’t be standing here if I hadn’t forgiven him.”
ROONEY will be available on Amazon Prime this Friday
