The famous pair are offering fans an exclusive look behind the curtain of their domestic world as the footballing icon trades the stadium for family duties.

Footballing icon Wayne Rooney and his wife Coleen are providing supporters with an unparalleled insight into their family world through a brand new documentary series. The former England and Manchester United striker will feature alongside his loved ones in the eagerly awaited Disney+ series The Real Rooneys, which pledges to reveal what happens beyond the beautiful game.

Viewers will get exclusive access to a transformative year for the pair as they manage a significant shift in their domestic circumstances. Following years under the microscope as one of the sport's most prominent figures, Wayne is moving away from the demands of football management and exchanging the dugout for parenting duties and home life.

At the same time, Coleen is seizing some of the most exciting prospects of her professional journey, including the launch of her own Primark collection, while balancing her commitments with bringing up the couple's four boys. The programme will additionally delve into the ups and downs of matrimonial life, offering supporters a more intimate perspective on the duo away from media attention.

Granted extraordinary behind-the-scenes access to the family, viewers can also follow eldest son Kai as he attempts to emulate his father and carve out his own career in football. For those who fondly recall Wayne's meteoric rise from Everton wonderkid to Manchester United and England icon, The Real Rooneys provides a strikingly different perspective on the football legend - this time as a father navigating the gloriously unpredictable reality of family life.

Football enthusiasts can also catch Michael Owen in the six-part Prime Video series 'Meet the Owens,' which follows the former England striker, wife Louise and their four children as they navigate family life and the challenges of running their horse racing business. All six episodes are available to stream exclusively on Prime Video, with Amazon Prime members able to watch at no extra cost.

New customers can sign up for a 30-day free trial, after which Prime costs £8.99 a month or £95 a year. The subscription will automatically renew unless cancelled.

Those keen to find out more about football's famous 'Special One' can watch the three-part series MOURINHO, available exclusively on Netflix. Subscriptions start from £5.99 a month, while Sky customers can get Netflix included with TV packages from £15 a month.

The Sky Essential TV bundle offers more than 100 channels, while the £24 Ultimate TV package also includes Netflix, HBO Max, Disney+ and Hayu. Both Sky packages require a 24-month contract, and prices may change during the contract term.

A downside for TV fans looking to soak up the new football-inspired series is that Rooney, Owen and Mourinho's shows all sit on different platforms. So, for those looking to watch all three, it's a lot of new subscriptions. It's also worth mentioning that Disney+ is heavily focused on Star Wars and Marvel series, which won't suit everyone.
