Coleen Rooney pays tribute to late sister Rosie on the 12th anniversary of her death
COLEEN Rooney paid tribute to her sister Rosie on the anniversary of her death.
The I’m A Celeb star, 38, took to social media to post a snap of her sibling, who died in 2013 at the age of just 14 — writing “12 years” next to a heart emoji.
Rosie was Coleen’s adopted sister after being taken in by the McLoughlin family when she was two.
She had a lifelong battle with the rare brain disorder Rett syndrome.
The mum of four had previously spoken about her love for Rosie in the 2023 Disney+ documentary Coleen: The Real Wagatha Christie Story.
She had described her as being the “sister that I never thought I was going to have”.
Coleen added: “She brought that little bit extra to the house. We fell in love with her.”
Rosie was born on February 2, 1998, and was diagnosed with Rett syndrome.
The rare genetic disorder affects brain development, resulting in severe mental and physical disability.
She was adopted by the McLoughlin family when she was two-years-old.
Sadly, Rosie died aged 14 in 2013 after a lifelong battle with Rett syndrome.
