Rooney & Sons ·Man Utd player displays pictures of his boys on Instagram

Wayne Rooney has proudly shared a sweet picture of his three sons. The 30-year-old footballer uploaded the cute Instagram snap on Monday, revealing that he was on daddy duties after his match at the weekend.

“Mornings with the lads,” he gushed alongside the image, which received over 154,000 likes.

Fans of the star were quick to compliment the adorable post, which shows nine-month-old Kitt cuddled up in between six-year-old Kai and three-year-old Klay.

“The best time you spend is while playing with the children, they look gorgeous, pure, innocent,” wrote one fan, while another added: “Wayne looks like such a good dad.”

“Hope one of them became a great football player as you are,” shared one fan, with another hailing them as “precious little angels”.

Last month, Wayne told fans he was a “proud dad” as his sons Kai and Klay returned to school.

Sharing photos of the boys in their grey and yellow uniforms complete with an adorable school cap, the England footballer wrote: “Proud dad this morning. First day back at school for my boys.”

Wayne and his wife Coleen – who have been together since they were 16, and married in 2008 – welcomed their third son in January this year.

Despite being proud parents to their sons, Coleen was said to have been hoping to have a girl the third time around.

Speaking shortly after giving birth to Klay in 2013, she told Hello! Magazine: “I’d probably like another one – not too soon though. I think a girl would complete the family but because the boys get on so well, another boy would be just as nice.”
