Coleen Rooney maintained a composed demeanor, attending a yoga class shortly after news surfaced of Rebekah Vardy’s upcoming ITV reality series.

Vardy Family's New Venture

The new show will offer an intimate look into the lives of Rebekah and Jamie Vardy as Jamie joins Italian football club US Cremonese, following the extensive coverage of the ‘Wagatha’ scandal and Coleen Rooney’s Disney+ documentary.

On Wednesday, the 40-year-old Rooney appeared unfazed, dressed in a leather jacket and leggings for her workout. The series, titled ‘The Vardys,’ will document the family’s relocation to Italy, including house-hunting and school searches.

Rebekah Vardy's Perspective

Rebekah Vardy has stated she is ready for a “new chapter” following the highly publicized legal battle with Coleen Rooney. Jamie Vardy, 38, will also feature prominently as he aims to succeed with US Cremonese in the Italian Serie A.

ITV promises a “no-holds-barred” portrayal of the Vardys’ journey, focusing on their resilience and family bonds. This announcement follows Coleen Rooney’s successful 2023 Disney+ docuseries, ‘Coleen Rooney: The Real Wagatha Story.’

The 'Wagatha' Scandal Recap

The original dispute began in 2019 when Coleen Rooney publicly accused Rebekah Vardy of leaking private stories to The Sun newspaper. Rooney conducted a private investigation, posting fabricated stories on her Instagram account to identify the source of the leaks.

This led to a libel lawsuit filed by Rebekah Vardy, which concluded in 2022 with the judge ruling in favor of Coleen Rooney. Rebekah Vardy was left with a substantial legal bill, estimated at £3 million.

Documentary Success & Contrasting Approaches

Coleen Rooney’s documentary reportedly earned her over £1 million, fueled by public sympathy and her reserved public persona during the scandal. The contrast between the two WAGs’ approaches to media exposure is notable.

While Rebekah Vardy is now embracing a reality show format, Coleen Rooney initially chose a more controlled narrative through her Disney+ documentary. ITV Commissioning Editor, Louise Major, highlighted the series’ unique access and Rebekah’s reflections on the ‘Wagatha’ controversy.

The series aims to capture the full spectrum of their experience, from the excitement of a new adventure to the inevitable challenges. The timing of the announcement, following Coleen’s successful documentary, adds to the ongoing public interest in their story.
