A new video has emerged showing Wayne Rooney letting a mystery woman into his apartment.
In the clip – viewed more than 2 million times after it was shared on
The woman's face cannot be seen in the video, which then cuts to Rooney in the flat as he stands in front of a large TV next to a bare stone wall.
The former Man United star – currently manager of abysmal Championship team Plymouth Argyle – has been living in a swanky rental flat in the city of Devon since taking over as the club's head coach this summer.
Although his loft-style apartment is luxurious and comfortable, it is a far cry from Rooney's £20 million six-bedroom Cheshire mansion, which boasts a snooker room, home cinema, indoor pool, underground spa, wine cellar and stable area. with space for 14 horses and a football field.
Away from the training ground, Rooney was regularly spotted on nights out on the town, including singing Ed Sheeran songs during a karaoke night at the Cider Press bar in August.
But his 'bachelor lifestyle', hundreds of miles from home, is also reportedly causing concern among those close to him, including his wife Coleen.
Coleen, 38, recently spent a month in the I'm A Celeb jungle, where she finished second behind McFly's Danny Jones.
While she was away in the Australian jungle, their four children lived with her parents due to Wayne's work commitments.
A customer at a bar close to Wayne's rental home in the city previously told MailOnline that 'he comes over for a few drinks quite often', adding: 'He's definitely put on some weight since he's been here, maybe he's getting stuck in the patties.”
Isolated from his Merseyside roots and after a slow start to his busy job, Rooney has been regularly spotted enjoying nights out at the city's bars and nightclubs since arriving in the summer, including quiz nights and karaoke nights as he continues his favorite Ed Sheeran lashed out. hits including Shape of You.
In a video on social media, Rooney can be seen urging the crowd to “make some noise, baby.”
Jarrod Styles, assistant manager of the Cider Press bar, said: “He was definitely a better footballer than a singer.
'He was an ideal customer, he was just chatting to people, standing up and singing Shape of You. He worked the crowd and told everyone to join in.”
Nearby Rakuda Bar also shared photos of two different visits from Rooney on Facebook, describing him as 'Rakuda's new regular'.
After losing 2-0 to fellow strugglers Oxford United on Sunday, Argyle are now winless in their last nine games under Rooney and have recently brought in veteran former Man Utd coach Mike Phelan as his assistant.
After the latest defeat and amid heavy criticism from fans, Rooney was asked in an interview whether he would consider his position as head coach.
He said: 'I think you have to look at every possible outcome. I think that's normal given the results we're achieving.
“You have to feel: can you turn it around, do you have the players to turn it around, can I turn it around, can the coaches turn it around? These are all things we really need to look at.'
A source recently said: 'Coleen hasn't been telling him takeaways anymore so she's sorting out the meal plans and making sure he's busy when he's not at work.'
After signing a three-year contract with the club, Rooney moved 260 miles from his family home in Cheshire to a rented seaside apartment in the city of Devon.
When the move was first announced, Wayne, Coleen and their children Kai, 14, were Klay. Kit, eight, and Cass, five were rumored to be house hunting in the south west and particularly in Salcombe, Britain's most expensive seaside resort nicknamed Chelsea-on-Sea, just under an hour's drive from his new job .
But he and Coleen, also 38, ultimately decided that moving the family to Devon would be too disruptive to the children's education and eldest son Kai's promising football career at the Man Utd academy.
In a recent interview, Coleen said: 'We thought about it (moving to Devon) for a long time, but it didn't work with the kids.
'Kai is now in Year 10 and has just started preparing for GCSE and everything is going well with football, and the other boys are all at school so it didn't seem fair to the kids to pick them up and take them , and starting a brand new place.'
Since they met as 16-year-old schoolchildren living on Liverpool's Croxteth estate, Coleen has endured several high-profile alleged cheating scandals – with the footballer making national headlines when it emerged he had visited three prostitutes as a teenager.
In 2004, after Wayne, then aged 18, moved to Manchester United, it was discovered that the teenager had allegedly paid £140 for sex with 21-year-old prostitute Charlotte Glover.
It was also claimed he slept in a Liverpool brothel with Gina McCarrick, then 37, and grandmother Patricia Tierney, then 48.
Devastated Coleen stood by her husband but made no public comment on the claims.
The couple married in 2008 in a lavish ceremony in Italy at the age of 22.
But their newlywed happiness was short-lived as in 2010 it was claimed the footballer had slept with two more prostitutes while Coleen was pregnant with their first son.
She was forced to reassess the couple's marriage in September 2017 when the former England captain was stopped by police in a car after leaving a nightclub with Laura Simpson.
And in 2021, Wayne made headlines again after photos emerged of the star partying and falling asleep in a hotel room with young women.
Addressing her husband's behavior in an interview with British Vogue last year. Coleen said: “It has been a struggle at times. I look at [any] situation we find ourselves in and think, 'Can we get rid of that? Is it worth continuing with that?'' I'm not going to give up just like that.
'We have never distanced ourselves from it.
'We own it. I remember having a conversation with someone about this and I said, 'Do you know what your wife does day and night? At least I know what my husband is doing!'' It may not be good, but I know. People lie to themselves.'
In a 2023 Amazon Prime documentary about her husband's life and football career, Coleen also candidly discussed her husband's cheating.
The mother of four has credited her parents Colette and Tony for their support, as she admits that part of the reason she chose to stay in her marriage during Wayne's various cheating and drinking scandals was for their children.
She said: 'When you make those decisions you have to focus on what you want and not on other people because there are so many people saying different things to you. “Oh, why is she going back to him?”
'Of course I listen to the people who are important to me, my father and mother always give me a positive view of things. There's nothing we can't deal with and that's my way of dealing with a situation: let's sit down and see what we can do and can we make it work? And we did that. We're not the love type anyway, we like to laugh and work well together.'
She adds that there is some truth to the idea that they stayed together for their four boys, explaining, “That was part of it, but we also still love each other.”
'Hopefully he has learned from it and doesn't end up in one of those terrible situations again. But it happened and I have to live with it. If I couldn't deal with it, I would have ended the relationship.'
