Embattled Wayne Rooney sporting his wedding ring while joining his eldest son Kai and Coleen’s father Tony McLoughlin in watching Everton on Thursday evening.
The 31-year-old has been hurtled into headlines since he was found guilty of drink-driving after enjoying a night out with party girl Laura Simpson, after which the state of his marriage to pregnant wife Coleen has been called into question.
Appearing downcast, his appearance comes after Coleen, also 31, confirmed she is taking the kids on holiday for half-term coming after her difficult two months, during which she has been frequently spotted without her wedding ring.

Wayne, who also shares Klay, four, and 22-month-old Kit with his wife, was caught drink driving in Cheshire, with fellow party-goer Laura in tow after driving her Beetle back from a club after which she claimed they ‘kissed and cuddled’.
Last month, the legendary footballer pleaded guilty to driving while over the limit before embarking on 100 hours unpaid work. He has been defiantly keeping his wedding ring in place despite Coleen’s frequent appearances without her own band.
As he made his low-key appearance in the stands at the match against Olympique Lyon at Goodison Park Stadium, Liverpool, he crossed his arms while chatting to agent Paul Stretford alongside his sweet eldest son who looked intrigued.
Earlier in the day, Coleen took to Twitter to respond to news she was jetting on holiday as she penned: ‘7th Holiday??? ….. I thought it was more than that!! Half term with the kids…. hope you all enjoy yours & make lots of fun memories’.

She previously hinted she is focusing on the arrival of her fourth child after ‘ditching’ her wedding band following marital strife with husband Wayne following his scandalous arrest in late August.
As she continues to shed her wedding ring, reports revealed the star is planning a holiday – despite claims last month that Wayne blamed her constant holidaying on his boozing and insisted she must cut down.
At the time of his arrest, it was reported she flew back from Spain with their three children and reportedly screamed at him: ‘The world is laughing at me because of you. How could you do this to me while I’m pregnant? How could you be so stupid?’

Speaking to The Sun, an insider revealed Coleen is ‘still very angry’ but feels she and her boys – Kai, seven,- should not be punished by his actions and still plan to jet away for her seventh holiday in ten months.
Now it seems she is ready to jet away once more, as insiders said: ‘She is still very angry at Wayne. But she doesn’t see why she or the children should suffer. She doesn’t really want to leave Wayne at home as she feels like she can’t trust him.
“But she doesn’t really want to go on holiday with him either. It’s one of the most exclusive in the world and they are looking forward to it.
