Wayne Rooney struggles to match wife Coleen's suntan as couple continue to soak up the rays in Las Vegas

By Mail Online Reporter

Different colours: While Coleen Rooney sports a tan that is getting darker by the day, husband Wayne is struggling to get any colour


After being in the blazing sun for almost two weeks, most of us would have developed some sort of sun-kissed glow.

But no Wayne Rooney, who despite soaking up the sun in Barbados and now Las Vegas, looks the same colour he was when he left the UK.

In stark contrast to the Manchester United footballer's fair skin, his wife Coleen's tan is getting darker and darker as their holiday progresses.

The couple and their nine-month-old son Kai had two weeks enjoying the Caribbean sunshine before jetting off to Las Vegas.

And while Coleen, 24, managed to tan rather nicely - and continues to do so - Wayne, also 24, only managed some slight colour on his arms and the back of his neck.

He also showed marks of a t-shirt tan, with his colour ending just above the elbows.

Not that his lack of colour affected his mood, which appeared to be relaxed and happy as he lounged in the pool being waited on hand-and-foot.

While his wife topped up her bronze glow on a sun lounger, Wayne sat on the steps off the pool sipping fruit juice and chatting to his friends.

The couple have been joined by a huge entourage of friends at the five-star Wynn Hotel - where they stay every summer.

WithKai presumably sleeping upstairs in their luxury hotel suite, the couple joined their Merseyside entourage by the pool for cocktails and sunbathing in the blistering 43c sunshine on Friday

Wayne cuddled and kissed his wife on the shallow steps leading into the pool.

Meanwhile, Coleen was showing off her toned figure in a red frilly two-piece after losing 21 pounds through a no-sugar, low-carbohydrate diet and gym workouts with her personal trainer Elise Lindsay.

Previously fluctuating between size 10 to 12 before her pregnancy, 5ft 3in Coleen is now a size 8 after shifting one and half stone since February.

A friend of the WAG said she is avoiding carbohydrates and doing a combination of weights, floor exercises, running, swimming and walking to shift the pounds.

While the WAG was evidently looking tanned after over two weeks in the sun, it appeared she was a little bit sunburnt and was peeling on her shoulders.

As the temperatures rose, the couple, both 24, sought shade in the luxury poolside cabanas, which can be rented for $500 a day.

Unlike other hotel cabanas which are temporary tent-style structures, the Wynn cabanas are solid brick and include a flat-screen TV, air-conditioning, mini-bar and snacks and a personal server to tend the renter's every need.

After deciding she'd had enough sun, Coleen threw on a Missoni dress as she carried her bright pink Chanel bag back to the couple's suite to check on their baby son.

Following England's disappointing exit from the World Cup, Manchester United striker Wayne briefly flew back to the UK before jetting out again on a British Airways flight to Barbados's Grantley Adams Airport on June 30

It was revealed a dejected Wayne had booked the £5,923 each, first class tickets to the island for himself and his family two days before England were knocked out after their 4-1 loss against Germany.

During their two weeks in the Caribbean, the Rooneys were spotted sunbathing, swimming and even rented out a catamaran for a day cruise, where Coleen was spotted enjoying a spot of snorkelling.

While the trip marked Wayne's first visit to the couple's brand new home, Coleen and their son had enjoyed a trip to the island without him in February.

The six bedroom villa includes an infinity pool and stunning sea views from the dining room and bedrooms.
