Coleen Rooney ‘supremely confident she’s already won’ regardless of Wagatha verdict

Coleen Rooney is said to be confident she will emerge the victor in the Wagatha Christie trial, but even if the judge rules against her, she feels she has already won after going head to head with Rebekah Vardy

Coleen Rooney is "supremely confident" she will be the victor in the Wagatha Christie trial against Rebekah Vardy, it has been reported, ahead of the long awaited ruling later today.

The Wag, 36, is also said to have told friends in private: "Whatever the judge decides, I've already won."

Mrs Justice Steyn is set to hand down her ruling in the sensation trial at noon today, a major milestone in the saga which saw Coleen and Rebekah, 40, battle it out at the Royal Courts of Justice for over a week in May, with bombshell after bombshell dropped.

A source close to the mum-of-four told The Sun: "She believes the evidence presented before the court has proved her case that Becky knew about leaks to the Press- and approved them."

Mum-of-five Rebekah vehemently denies leaking stories from Coleen's private Instagram account to The Sun.

She took Coleen to court for libel after Coleen's 2019 post, which accused Rebekah's Instagram account of the leaking.

The source added that Coleen says she has won, whatever the ruling in the trial, adding: "The public have seen it for themselves and that's all Coleen wanted."

It is thought the verdict will only be given to the parties minutes before being made public, due to fears of the result being leaked.

Legal sources have told The Sun that the amount of time given ahead of the announcement is at the behest of the judge and feels the late reveal would mean that temptation to share the result will be removed.

The source said: "In most cases the parties, or at least their lawyers, are given an early heads-up before the result.

"It could be from 24 hours to as much as a week in advance.

"It’s totally at the judge’s discretion but allows those involved to consider their legal position, especially in a high-profile case like this. On this occasion that has been totally denied."

Earlier on Thursday, the Rooneys left their favourite restaurant after a family meal ahead of the Wagatha Christie judgment.

Coleen's husband Wayne held their youngest son Cass’s hand while brothers Kit and Klay walked alongside Coleen, still wearing a compression boot after breaking a foot bone. Their big brother Kai was missing from the line-up near Wing’s Chinese restaurant in Manchester city centre.

Wayne, also 36, was back in the UK after recently being appointed as coach of US soccer team DC United. Rebekah has returned from a family holiday in Portugal in time for the judge’s written ruling.

Both the Rooneys and the Vardys have enjoyed holidays abroad ahead of judgement day, with Coleen and Wayne missing the last day of the trial to fly to Dubai for a family get-away.

The couple were also spotted on the beach in Ibiza later. Rebekah and her brood enjoyed an idyllic beach vacation, with the former I'm a Celeb contestant sharing snaps on her Instagram.

The Mirror has approached Coleen's reps for comment.
