Coleen Rooney takes baby Kai to Barbados for first look at £5million villa

Coleen Rooney jetted off to Barbados with baby Kai for his first ever holiday on the sun soaked island, where they took their first look at their newly built £5million villa.

Wayne missed out on all the fun however, having to stay in the UK due to footballing commitments with Manchester United so instead Coleen took parents Tony and Colette McLoughlin and younger brothers along for Kai’s first holiday.

The 23-year-old WAG showed off her slim and toned figure in a bikini, just three months after giving birth to son Kai, and this is the first time Coleen has shown off her post-baby figure in public but she looked fab despite mostly keeping under wraps in a kaftan.

Coleen was spotted relaxing with relatives on the beach and introducing baby Kai to the ocean but it was also her first opportunity to take a look at the £5million newly built villa.

The six bedroomed villa is located on the islands 500 acre Royal Westmoreland development and comes complete with an infinity pool and fantastic sea views. There’s also a detached two bedroomed cottage for lucky guests.

The Rooney family are surrounded by some equally famous neighbours who include ex-boxer Joe Calzaghe, Rooney’s Manchester United team-mate Rio Ferdinand, Gary Lineker and cricketer Andrew Flintoff, who all own homes in the area.

Lampard: “I’m still a single man”

TV Presenter Christine Bleakley was well on the way to becoming the newest WAG, after several months of dating England footballer Frank Lampard but now it appears that the relationship is over after Lampard revealed “I’m still a single man” during an interview.

Christine confirmed last month that she and Lampard were a couple, after months of secret dating, and said: “it is early days, so we are trying to be low key. But I am very happy.”

The couple met last year after Lampard split from his wife from lingerie model Elen Rives, 34, and have been secretly dating (or perhaps not so secretly with the media following them) and have even travelled to Ireland to meet Christine’s parents, so all was looking good.

A source said: “It has come as a real bolt out of the blue. Everyone thought the two of them were going strong. By the way Christine was talking, she did too.”

The split is somewhat shrouded in mystery and no comment has been heard from The One Show presenter Christine in order to shed some light on the breakup.

The England footballer was being interviewed about England’s upcoming match in South Africa when he revealed the apparent split.

Asked about Captain Fabio Capello’s WAG ban at the World Cup match, Lampard said that he didn’t think the ban would apply to him and said: “It is definitely, definitely a good thing. If I’m honest, I felt this at the last World Cup.”

The WAGs will only get to see their partners for one day during the tournament, presumably so they can concentrate on their game!

Where did it all go wrong for Cheryl?

In 2002 Cheryl Tweedy and girl group ‘Girls Allowed’ won TV Contest ‘POPSTARS- THE RIVALS’ and the dream began.

In 2004 Cheryl met Ashley Cole when they move into the same apartment block.

In 2005 Ashley proposes during a camel ride in Dubai. “Ashley went down on one knee. He’s a gentleman,” says Cheryl.

In 2006 Cheryl becomes Mrs Cole as the couple marry. She wears a Roberto Cavalli dress worth a reported £110,000.

In 2007 Cheryl has “Mrs C” tattooed on her neck.

In 2008 a hairdresser from South London, claims a drunken Mr. Cole picked her up in a London club and took her back to his flat for sex.

Cheryl defends husband, “Look, Ashley’s young, and he’s got a young mentality for his age anyway. He’s learning. He has a beautiful soul and he’s a really nice guy.”

In 2009 following reports that the marriage is in trouble, Cheryl posts a picture on Twitter in which she flashes her £160,000 wedding ring. The caption says: “3 Words. Diamonds Are Forever.”

Early this year, a topless model, shares a semi-naked photograph of Ashley, which was sent to her mobile phone. He admits taking it but says he had given the phone to a friend and did not send the picture.

February 2010, Cheryl performs at the Brit Awards without her wedding ring, fuelling speculation that a separation is imminent.

More rumours, an American local government worker, claims she had sex with the footballer in a hotel during Chelsea’s pre-season tour in Seattle last July.

February 23rd, Cheryl’s spokesman announces her separation, on Twitter.

Cheryl Cole is due to appear on Jonathon Ross on the 12th March.

Cheryl Tweedy… Again!

After three and a half years Cheryl Cole has finally given cheating husband, Ashley Cole, the boot.

Cheryl has proved to be a role model to women everywhere by ditching footballer, Ashley Cole after he repeatedly cheated on her.

When the first alleged ‘cheating’ rumours surfaced Cheryl forgave husband Ashley, when this got her nowhere and more rumours began to surface Ashley knew it was only a matter of time before the final whistle.

Now Cheryl has to deal with not only divorce arrangements, but also a tattoo removal, as she got “Mrs C” tattooed down her back after the couple married. She must also decide whether to change her name back to Cheryl Tweedy?

The pain of break up can be too great to bear. And sometimes it’s the thought of all that re-branding that hurts most of all.

At least Cheryl is certain that if she changes her name back to Cheryl Tweedy her persona won’t change from head of footballers WAG’s back to that Geordie member of ‘Girls Aloud’ that kind of faded into the background. As Cheryl now stands alone as a successful solo artist and member of the X-Factor panel.

We are certain that Cheryl’s career will continue to blossom from this, which is more than what can be said for Mr.Cole who has already began thinking about fleeing the UK.

Since Coleen Became A Part Of Wayne’s World

Coleen McLoughlin and Wayne Rooney started dating in their final year of school when they were just 16.

In 2003 Wayne became England’s youngest football player at 17 years old, within months he purposes to Coleen with a £46,500 diamond engagement ring.

‘When we first talked about getting married we did feel too young, but not anymore,’ she says. ‘We want to spend the rest of our lives together and there’s no stronger commitment than getting married.

Later that year Coleen is left devastated when Wayne Rooney admits visiting a brothel.

‘Foolish as it now seems I did on occasions visit massage parlours and prostitutes,’ he said in a statement. ‘It was at a time when I was very young and immature and before I had settled down with Coleen.’

After difficulties in the relationship Coleen defends her decision to stay with Wayne.

“The truth is, and I’ve never said this before, at that time in our relationship [when the story came out] I’d never even slept with Wayne,’ she admits. ‘I was only 16 and we weren’t having that kind of relationship at that stage.’

In 2007 Coleen McLoughlin unveiled her autobiography ‘Welcome To My World’ at Waterstones in London.

Wayne and Coleen get married in an intimate ceremony in front of family and friends.

In 2008 Mrs. Rooney confesses she is eager to start a family with husband Wayne.

‘I’m definitely considering kids at some point,’ she reveals. ‘Not right now but when it happens, it happens.’

In 2009 Coleen Rooney confirms she’s pregnant and is due to give birth in October.

‘I’m planning on a natural birth if all goes well,’ she says, ‘so therefore the baby will arrive when it’s ready. ‘I’m not going to do any photo shoots with the baby – nothing,’ she insists. ‘I’d like for our life as a family to be as normal and private as possible.’

November 2009 Coleen and Wayne Rooney confirm the birth of their son, Kai Wayne.

Rooney’s Second Mansion

Runway closures at Manchester airport meant Colleen Rooney has had to wait to see the 6 bedroom mansion Wayne has had built for him and his family in Barbados.

The Rooney’s had planned to take baby, Kai, to Barbados to see their brand new £5million house, but due to runway closures their flight was delayed, leaving Colleen and family to fly out days later without Wayne.

The last time Wayne and Colleen saw the villa was on their two-week holiday in Barbados last June, at which point it was mid-way though its construction. Despite this the house has been fully furnished according to the wishes of Colleen.

The amazing villa on the star-studded 500-acre Royal Westmoreland development, comes with an infinity pool and breathtaking sea views and even includes their very own golf course.

The couple chose this plot of land as it is in the celebrity part of Barbados. Home surrounding their mansion are owned by the likes of team mate Rio Ferdinand, Boxing champion Joe Calzaghe, cricketers Freddie Flintoff and Michael Vaughan, TV Hosts Ant and Dec and Gary Lineker.

A source close to the family said “Couple have been going to Barbados on holiday for years and see it as the perfect place to chill out.”

The Rooney’s have been sure not to forget their friends when their out in Barbados and they have made sure there is a detached two-bed cottage for any special guests they may want to impress

Cheryl Cole’s PR company confirm separation on Twitter

After weeks of speculation, it has finally been confirmed that Cheryl and Ashley Cole have separated, after her PR company posted a tweet on twitter announcing the split.

Tearful Cheryl last night returned to her £4 million mansion, where she lived with husband Ashley, where she was reportedly too upset to be visited by friends or even her mum Joan.

The split comes after explicit photos of footballer Ashley ended up on a topless model’s phone. He denied the allegations claiming that he had given away the phone and didn’t realise the pictures were still on there.

A source said: “Cheryl’s nobody’s fool. She didn’t believe a word. Then, as she suspected, more girls came forward.”

Cheryl, left Heathrow Airport after a break in LA wearing dark glasses and a trilby hat pulled down low, and was whisked away to her marital home near Godalming, Surrey.

Newspaper reports say that Cheryl ended the marriage in true modern fashion – by text. She reportedly said: “It’s over. Move out.”

Her final text to Ashley reportedly said:  “You have lied, lied and lied. You disgust me. I’ll see you around”

Cole is said to have begged Cheryl for another chance and said that he would try sex rehab to try and save their marriage.

A friend said: “Ashley was distraught, crying down the phone. He just wanted his wife back and another chance. But it was too little, too late.”

“Cheryl refused to answer any of the calls and they went straight to voicemail.” the friend added.

This isn’t the first time that Ashley has cheated, in 2008 allegations surfaced that he had slept with hairdresser Aimee Walton but Cheryl forgave him and gave him another chance.

Since the picture messages were revealed, more women have come forward saying that Ashley had slept with them as well including blonde secretary, Vicki Gough, US political aide Ann Corbitt and glamour model Alexandra Taylor.

The allegations were too much for Cheryl who has finally given Ashley the boot and will hopefully put her energy into her career.

A source said: “But Cheryl is nobody’s fool – she is determined to knuckle down now and focus on her career.

Bleakley Braves the cold

As the UK gears up for the Sport Relief weekend, local celebrities have been rising to the challenge to do their bit to raise money for the poor and vulnerable in Northern Ireland, the UK and across the world.

BBC presenter and girlfriend of footballer, Frank Lampard, Christine Bleakley, plans to raise money for charity by taking part in a Sport Relief 2010 challenge on Strangford Lough.

It will be a massive physical challenge for Christine who, before training, had never, ever, been water-skiing.

The Newtownards-born presenter plans to be the first woman to water-ski across the English Channel. If Bleakley if successful she will raise over a whopping £1 million pounds for charity.

The stunning presenter, who co-hosts the BBC television programme, The One Show, has been training in the gym and on various Lakes since October

Bleakley is expected to attempt the crossing in late February or early March, depending on the weather and tidal conditions.

A complete novice, Christine will have to stay afloat on her skis for more than an hour as she makes the 21-mile journey on the world’s busiest shipping channel. She will have to contend with freezing temperatures and skiing on rough water, guided by a pilot through the busy shipping lanes.

Christine said she was inspired to take up the challenge after visiting Uganda last year and meeting a family whose mother had died of aids.

This is just one of many Sport Relief challenges set to take place this year between March 19 and 21.

No WAG’s At World Cup?

Lampard says he doesn’t want girlfriend of four months, Christine Bleakley, at the World Cup, he also claims he is still a single man.

In a recent interview, Lampard made his priorities abundantly clear, and insisted he wouldn’t want Christine to distract him during an opportunity as amazing as the World Cup.

Reports suggest Lampard has decided to cool off his relationship with Christine to concentrate on England’s preparation for the World Cup in South Africa this summer.

“If I’m chosen to go, then the World Cup is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If you say that for those four to six weeks I have got to be away from my girlfriend, then I’ll take it. I don’t want the women staying somewhere round the corner, so I’m thinking, “Does she want me there today? I want to rest today, I don’t really want to go out and see her, but the other players are going, so should I?”

The One Show presenter, Christine Bleakley, recently gushed about her new-found love, even hinting the pair could get married later down the line.

Christine and Lampard started dating in early October 2009, after Piers Morgan introduced them at the Pride of Britain Awards.

The relationship appeared to be going strong recently, after Christine attended the Football Writers’ Association’s Tribute awards ceremony to watch the sportsman collect his award.

During the holidays, the proud presenter even took the footballer to meet her parents in Belfast.

Christine’s close friend, Amanda Holden, said recently Christine is happy in her new relationship. ‘Christine is being pampered within an inch of her life, which she finds strange. She’s happy, but playing her cards very close to her chest.’

“Move Out. It’s Over”

Rumours have surface that Cheryl Cole has ditched Chelsea footballer, Ashley Cole, by text message.

Cheryl Cole has arrived back in the UK following a short trip to the United States. The 26-year-old sported black sunglasses and a trilby hat as she was escorted through the airport by two police officers. Cheryl was photographed without her wedding ring getting into silver Mercedes.

Cheryl reportedly sent the text “Move out. It’s over” telling Ashley the marriage was over whilst she was working on new songs out in the US. These rumours come weeks after Ashley has been accused of sending more sex texts to other women.

During her visit to the U.S., the X Factor spent a great deal of time being comforted by close friend and confidante Derek Hough.

“Cheryl has decided enough is enough and she is going to divorce him. She has told Ashley to get out of the family home because she does not wish to see him, She has no desire to hear any more excuses or explanations. Grand gestures will not help either. When she left for America last week she wasn’t exactly sure of her future.”

The Chelsea star, who is nursing a broken ankle, cleared out of their Hurtmore House home early this morning.

Cheryl Cole flew back to Britain today after a week-long visit to America and will find herself returning to a large, empty house. Many people such as Sinitta and fellow Girls Aloud band members will no doubt gather round to support Cheryl during this time.

“She wants to have put a statement out by the end of the week so she can start moving on. She has no desire to humiliate Ashley further and wishes to proceed in a dignified manner.”
