Ananova:

Wayne Rooney's wife Coleen has given birth at Liverpool Women's Hospital.

The boy, who the couple have named Kai Wayne Rooney, was born at 2.20pm.

A spokesman for the couple said: "Mother and baby are both absolutely fine.

"Wayne and Coleen are thrilled with the wonderful addition to their family life."

Sources told Sky News that Wayne was present at the birth, which was natural - however she had to be induced.

Relatives on both sides of the family have visited the couple and new son in hospital.

Wayne's brother Graham and cousin Claire, as well as his parents Wayne and Jeanette, were seen leaving.

Coleen's mother Colette and brother Joe also paid a visit.

In October, Coleen said that she would snub private healthcare and have the baby at Liverpool Women's Hospital.

Wayne and Coleen grew up in the Croxteth area of Liverpool, but now live in the village of Prestbury in Cheshire and returned to the city for the birth.

Sky's North of England correspondent Tom Parmenter said: "The Liverpool Women's hospital has a first class reputation and is one of the leading maternity hospitals, not just in the UK, but all of Europe.

"The fact the couple have chosen to have the baby there shows how determined they were for their child to be born in Liverpool."

With the child nine days overdue, there was speculation Coleen was set to give birth when Wayne missed training with Manchester United on Monday morning.

He will almost certainly be unavailable for the side's game against CSKA Moscow at Old Trafford on Tuesday evening.

The public will not be seeing many pictures of Kai Wayne in glossy magazines soon, though, as the new mum turned down a £1m deal with OK.

Coleen insisted she wants to keep the couple's first birthday out of the public spotlight.

Her spokesman told the News Of The World: "There are no bids being accepted - there won't be any picture deals."

A friend of Coleen reportedly said: "She wants the little one to have a normal upbringing and so she's decided to turn down the deal.

"It's part of her beliefs and ideals."
