Congratulations Coleen & Wayne Rooney!!

Coleen Rooney might just be my favourite celebrity mummy after giving birth to a baby boy named Kai in Liverpool Women’s Hospital.

Whilst the name could be a grower, Coleen definitely showed that her baby isn’t a status symbol by giving birth in a NHS hospital and reportedly refusing a £1 million deal for the first photos.

Wayne and Coleen have also agreed to try and keep their child out of the media spotlight as much as they can, which is something we’re huge supporters of here at FemaleFirst.

I know it can be hard to keep your child out of the press when you’re a huge megastar, but there’s a fine line between the odd pap shot when you’re in the park, and dragging them around with you, hoping for the perfect picture.

Now, it’s quite a deep issue I’m talking about here, I don’t have kids so I’ll probably get a load of mum’s disagreeing with me as well, but personally I think the likes of Angelina Jolie and Madonna are thrusting their kids into the media without the kids really having a say…. It’s true that the parents are responsible for their young children, but I know if my mother was famous, I’d like to make my own decision as to whether or not I followed in her footsteps.

On the other side of the coin though, Madge and Brangelina always have their kids with them and rarely leave them with a nanny or minder whilst they jet off to an exotic location with a their latest fling… and that’s where I’ve got to give Katie Price some credit…. I know people might not think she’s a great role model with her recent behaviour, but at least she pays a great deal of attention to her kids.

So, whilst I could ramble on about this forever, I’d quite like to you what you think… should the kids be left with a nanny and out of the media, or is it better to keep them with you but risk their faces being splashed across The Sun?

And is it ever a good idea to ‘sell’ you baby photos to a magazine, even if you’re claiming the money will go to their college fund? Surely if you’re that famous, you can afford to send your kids to college?

    I’m not sure about the Katie Price accolade as mum of the year. I haven’t seen the evidence. If my mum behaved like her, when I grew up and saw the pics, I’d rather she had sold me to OK! and left me in the offices to be fostered by the intern. Oh the shame.
