Wayne Rooney addresses weight-loss speculation and nose surgery

Wayne Rooney said he has been working hard to lose weight after speculation that he used a weight-loss pen, and described his recent nose operation as a medical procedure to address difficulty breathing through one side of his nose. His remarks came in an interview ahead of the release of The Real Rooneys, a series about his family with wife Coleen Rooney. Rooney said he had seen claims that he was taking a weight-loss pen, adding that he was working hard to lose weight. The interview account does not independently establish how he lost weight, and no specific method beyond his own description was documented. Rooney did not provide a measured amount of weight lost. The couple also discussed his nose operation. Rooney said he could not clear one side of his nose and had it fixed. Coleen Rooney said she had encouraged him to have the operation partly because of his snoring. The reports relay the couple’s explanation but do not include medical records or an independent clinical account identifying the procedure or its precise rationale. The series, The Real Rooneys, became available on Disney Plus on September 24, with episodes one through eight released that day.
