Wednesday, September 30, 2026 - Coleen Rooney has opened up about the devastating loss of her younger sister, Rosie McLoughlin, revealing that the experience continues to shape her family years later.
Rosie, who had Rett syndrome, died at 14 in 2013 after battling the condition throughout her childhood. Speaking in the new Disney+ series The Real Rooneys, Coleen reflected on the painful moment her family had to say goodbye.
Coleen revealed that Rosie was unable to speak, but communicated through her eyes, describing the bond they shared despite the challenges of her illness.
She recalled how the family returned home after doctors said there was little more they could do, spending one final night together before Rosie died. Coleen said letting her sister go was heartbreaking, while remembering the happiness and love Rosie brought to the family.
The emotional revelation comes as Coleen and husband Wayne Rooney prepare to give viewers a closer look at their family life in The Real Rooneys.
The Disney+ series includes personal memories and previously unseen family moments, with Coleen using the programme to reflect on both painful experiences and treasured memories of Rosie.
The Disneyland Paris special is scheduled to stream on October 1, 2026, bringing the deeply personal story to a wider audience.
