This footballing family are about to add to their team…

Colleen and Wayne Rooney will welcome their third child in the New Year. The fashion designer took to Twitter to confirm the news last night after photos of her wearing a swimsuit on holiday in Barbados last week prompted speculation:

Baby number 3 is on the way ...... January!! We are so happy and excited. ?

Wayne added: "Delighted that me and ColeenRoo have our 3rd child on the way".

The childhood sweethearts, who married in Portofino, Italy in 2008, are already parents to sons Kai and Klay. We can't wait to see a little brother or sister in the Rooney's adorable family snaps...
