When we first heard reports that Wayne Rooney had spent thousands of pounds on a hair transplant we couldn’t really believe it. We even thought the footballer was pulling our leg when he confirmed the news on Twitter. But low and behold it turned out to be 100% true.
Less than 24-hours after she gave birth, a proud and glowing-looking Coleen Rooney left Liverpool’s Women’s hospital and headed home with her husband Wayne and their little baby boy Kai.
Since the birth of their son, many people have been speculating about how the couple came up with the name Kai.
Although the name has various meanings in different languages one suggestion has been that the pair decided to call their son Kai after a character from the computer game Mortal Kombat which Wayne is said to be a big fan of.
Or of course they could’ve named him after Kerry Katona’s dog who’s also called Kai, but hey who knows…
