Coleen Rooney's Milestone Birthday Captured for Disney+ in Multi-Million Pound Deal
Disney+ subscribers are set for an exclusive glimpse into the glamorous life of Coleen Rooney, as her lavish 40th birthday celebration was filmed for a new series under a lucrative £10 million agreement with the streaming giant. The extravagant event, held at her and husband Wayne's £20 million mansion in Cheshire, promises to deliver high-end entertainment to viewers worldwide.
A Star-Studded Affair with Helicopter Arrivals and Strict Privacy Measures
The birthday bash, which took place on Friday night, was designed to be unforgettable, with guests arriving via helicopter to the opulent setting. Coleen, known for her role in I'm A Celebrity and the 2023 docu-series The Real Wagatha Story, ensured the festivities were both exclusive and well-documented. A source revealed to The Sun that parts of the party were captured for the Disney+ series, noting, 'Everyone had a fantastic time and some videos and pictures were shared on social media. But if fans really want to see the party, they'll have to watch the Disney show when it comes out.'
Despite the filming, privacy was a top priority. An insider told The Mirror that Coleen wanted to enjoy the night without any embarrassing moments being recorded, such as Wayne potentially falling on the dance floor. 'It's going to be very high protection when it comes to this. It's a private party. There's no one that can party like Coleen,' the source added. To maintain exclusivity, a strict phone ban was enforced, and hundreds of bottles of champagne were kept on ice for the occasion.
Celebrity Guests and Family Moments Highlight the Festivities
The guest list featured a mix of A-list celebrities and close friends, including Wayne's former Manchester United teammates Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes, reality TV star Leanne Brown, ex-footballer Phil Bardsley, and his wife Tanya from Real Housewives of Cheshire. Irish singer-songwriter Dermot Kennedy provided live acoustic entertainment, adding a musical touch to the evening.
Family played a central role in the celebrations, with Coleen dancing the night away alongside her husband Wayne and their eldest son, Kai, aged 16. The Disney+ series is expected to follow Coleen, Wayne, and their four sons—Kai, Klay (13), Kit (9), and Cass (7)—offering an intimate look into their daily lives. Ahead of the party, Wayne and Kai were spotted at a local barbershop in Cheshire, with Kai dressed in a grey tracksuit and a £400 Louis Vuitton beanie, showcasing their casual yet stylish preparations.
Elaborate Setup and No-Expense-Spared Approach
To accommodate her closest friends and family, Coleen had an enormous white marquee erected on the 50-acre grounds of her home. Caterers and staff worked diligently to ensure the event ran smoothly, with insiders confirming that no expense was spared. A friend described Coleen's party style to The Mirror, saying, 'Coleen parties like a good northern lass. She's a very normal girl at the end of the day - she just likes a good time and having fun. It will be epic.'
An additional source told The Sun that the celebration was all about quality and enjoyment: 'Coleen loves a good knees-up. She can afford a lovely lifestyle and everything at the party will be classy and beautifully done. But for her, plenty of booze, good music and her family is all she will want. There's going to be live music and you can guarantee Wayne will be getting up on the microphone. He loves to sing and will be keen to give everyone a tune or two.'
Contrast with Wayne's Birthday and Future Disney+ Series
Interestingly, while Coleen organised a surprise party for Wayne's 40th birthday in October last year, he did not reciprocate in planning her celebration. Coleen explained, 'He always uses the excuse of 'It wouldn't be good enough for you'. He's not really a planner, so he'll say 'There's no point in me doing it because you'd want to do it yourself'.' This dynamic may add an intriguing layer to the upcoming Disney+ series, which builds on her previous work with the streaming platform.
The Daily Mail has reached out to Coleen's representatives for further comment on the filming and series details. As anticipation builds, fans can look forward to a behind-the-scenes view of one of the year's most talked-about celebrity events, blending family life, luxury, and entertainment in a unique streaming format.
