Who are Coleen Rooney’s parents?

Tony worked as a bricklayer and also ran a boxing club.
He and his wife regularly attend church and are practising Catholics.
Speaking in Amazon documentary Rooney (2022), Coleen opened up about how she relied on the support of her parents during her marriage problems.
She said: “When you’re making those decisions you’ve got to focus on what you want and not other people because you have so many people saying different things to you. ‘Oh why is she getting back with him?”
“Obviously I listen to the people that matter to me, my mum and dad always give me a positive outlook on things.
“There’s nothing that we can’t deal with and that’s my way in a situation — let’s sit down and see what we can do and can we make it work? And we have.
“We’re not the lovey-dovey type anyway, we like to have a laugh and we work well together.”

A statement from the McLoughlins at the time said: “Sadly our special angel Rosie, our much-loved daughter and sister, went to Heaven at 2.50 this morning at home where she was surrounded by her loving family.
“Rosie was just 14 years old and fought a lifelong battle with Rett syndrome.
“Throughout her life she brought so much love and happiness to all our family and everyone who knew and met her.
“She was such a strong little girl and an inspiration to us all. We shall cherish for ever the memories we have shared and the love she showed us each and every day of her life.
“As a family we are heartbroken but we are blessed to have had her in our lives.”
Each year, Coleen posts a tribute to her sister on Instagram on the anniversary of her death.
In 2019, on what would have been Rosie’s 21st birthday, Coleen shared sweet pictures of her sister with the caption: “If only you were here to celebrate Rosie Mc, we would have the biggest party for the most special girl. Happy 21st Birthday Ro.”
