England footballer Rooney appeared every bit the proud father as he carried his son Kai Wayne out of Liverpool Women's Hospital in a black cradle.

Rooney was later named as a substitute for Manchester United in their Champions League clash with CSKA Moscow at Old Trafford.

Coleen gave birth to Kai at 2.20pm on Monday. The couple were said to be "thrilled with the wonderful addition to their family life".

Television star Coleen seemed sprightly when she climbed into a silver people carrier driven by her father-in-law, also called Wayne.

Her mother Colette beamed with joy as she left with the young family.

Coleen wore a black and beige top with a black blazer and black trousers, while Wayne was wearing a cowboy shirt, jeans and a sleeveless puffer jacket.

The couple thanked staff as Wayne's father opened the car boot, which was full of flowers and balloons from well-wishers.

Photographers had been gathered at the hospital since Sunday afternoon, following rumours that Coleen had gone into labour. Reporters urged the parents to comment on their new arrival as they left the hospital, but they declined.

Childhood sweethearts Coleen and Wayne have been together since their teens, and the footballer reportedly proposed on a petrol station forecourt in Liverpool.
