6 WAGs who spoke out about their allegedly cheating husbands: from Victoria Beckham in Netflix docu Beckham, to Khloé Kardashian, Dwyane Wade’s wife Gabrielle Union and Tiger Woods’ ex Elin Nordegren
- From the Netflix docu that touched on David Beckham’s Rebecca Loos scandal, to the Amazon Prime film where Coleen Rooney opened up about husband Wayne’s infidelity, WAGs have been speaking out
- It’s not just British footballers who have been up to no good, as Khloé Kardashian, Elin Nordegren and Gabrielle Union can attest – Tiger Woods even shook the golf world by sleeping with 120 other women
From poorly judged teenage visits and hired escorts, to parties and tours away from home, some of the world’s most well-known sportsmen have allegedly cheated on their wives or girlfriends. And even if they didn’t, the fallout from any scandal that makes global headlines often places their partners into a tricky position and causes them untold pain.
But not all of the wronged WAGs stay silent. These women decided to tell their side of the story in one way or another …
1. Coleen Rooney
Coleen Rooney has put up with more than most from her husband Wayne Rooney. She and Wayne were dating when he rose to fame as one of Manchester United’s top scorers in the mid-2000s, according to The Guardian. But before they’d even slept together, Rooney had already hired several sex workers. Despite this, the pair wed four years later and had children – only for Coleen to discover he’d strayed again while she was pregnant.
“You have so many people saying different things to you,” Coleen admitted in last year’s Amazon Prime documentary Rooney. “‘Oh why is she getting back with him?’” She added that, in those moments, she found it best to trust her gut feeling about what to do, as well as get support from her parents.
“Hopefully he’s learnt and he doesn’t get himself into any of those horrible situations again. But it’s happened and I’ve got to live with it,” she said.
2. Victoria Beckham
“It was the hardest period because it felt like the world was against us,” Victoria admitted on the show, adding the couple were also pitted against each other at the time. “I can’t even begin to tell you how hard it was and how it affected me. It was a nightmare,” she added.
