While Rooney is obviously joking about the impetus for getting the snip, it brings up press interest in his family dynamics once again. 

Coleen spoke about the decision to have no more children in a 2023 interview. The reality TV star addressed speculation she wanted a daughter, but that she and her husband knew their “family was complete” after the arrival of Cass in 2018. 

Coleen said: “After the birth of every one of my kids the press is always interested if I’m going to have another baby and it’s always, ‘would you like a girl?’

“I always thought I’d have a few kids, maybe three at the most, but then number four came along and we knew our family was complete then. 

“Me and Wayne talking about him having a vasectomy. He said after this baby that’s it, we’re not having anymore, and Wayne went in and got the snip so I knew for sure we wouldn’t have anymore children.”
