Rebekah Vardy's friend has said that 'things are on the up' as the WAG throws herself into her new life in Italy and moves on from the infamous 'Wagatha Christie' scandal. The 43-year-old has relocated from Leicester to Lombardy following her husband Jamie's signing for Serie A side US Cremonese at the beginning of this month.
Rebekah has been giving an insight into their new life on social media, sharing snaps of herself and Jamie with their children: Megan, 20, Taylor, 15, Sofia, 14, Finley, eight, and six-year-old Olivia. A friend told The Mirror: 'Jamie could have got more money going to the Middle East but it's not the most important thing... he's living in Italy, what's not to like?'
The friend added: 'There is no doubt it has been a tough time for Rebekah but she is made of strong stuff and has drawn a line under that whole affair. With the Netflix show and the move to Italy things are really on the up for Rebekah.'
In May, The Mail on Sunday revealed that Rebekah had landed a fly-on-the-wall Netflix documentary charting the family's 'life after Leicester'. The show is said to be netting her more than £1 million, which could not come at a better time given her courtroom battle left her with a £1.4 million legal bill. Her new show will again pit her against Coleen Rooney, who is making a rival reality show for Disney+.
Rebekah appears to be loving her new life in Italy, posting an Instagram update last week showing the family soaking up the sun and culture. She captioned the post in Italian, which translated to: 'In Italy we always feel at home.'
