Wayne and Coleen Rooney celebrate eldest son becoming a teenager with sweet family snaps

Wayne and Coleen Rooney are now proud parents to a teenager as their eldest son Kai celebrates his 13th birthday.

Former England Striker Wayne, 36, took to Instagram to mark the milestone with a sunny beachside snap of him with sons Kai and Klay.

Together with the rest of the Rooney clan — wife Coleen, 37, and sons Kit, 6, and four-year-old Cass – they enjoyed a break in Dubai before heading back to Blighty in time for Halloween festivities.

As he celebrates turning 13, Kai has his own Instagram profile with 57,000 followers and is already a brand ambassador for Puma.

Earlier this month Coleen shared a shot of her Kai on a 30ft billboard advert in Liverpool city centre.

Kai modelled a grey Puma hoodie with matching jogging bottoms, and grey trainers.

He signed the deal with the brand back in July, revealing the news with a post to Instagram.

But his modelling will have to take a back seat to his football as he appears to be following in his footy father's footsteps as he signed for Manchester United's youth team and has been showing off impressive skills ever since.

The youngster contributed a staggering 56 goals and 28 assists for the under-12 side, highlighting the potential he has to follow in his father's footsteps.

Kai joined the Red Devils' academy in December 2020, having previously spent time with Manchester City's youth teams as well as Bethesda SC Washington during Wayne's spell in MLS.

And it's been a busy time for birthdays as dad Wayne last week celebrated turning 37, with Kai taking to Instagram: "Happy Birthday Dad. Thanks for everything. Love you."

He accompanied the post with a pic of a young Kai and Wayne on the pitch when Manchester Unite won the Champions League in 2013.

The family live in an ultra-lavish £20million mansion in Cheshire, located on a 40-acre estate.

The six-bedroom home comes complete with a cinema, indoor swimming pool and a wine cellar. There's also a stable area outside and a football pitch – ideal for Kai to get lots of practice in!
