Wayne and Coleen Rooney are expecting a boy.

The soccer star and his wife revealed the news after having a scan yesterday, confirming the sex of the child.

Coleen, 26, tweeted: "Absolutely loved seeing our baby on the scan yesterday!!! We decided to find out the sex...... It's a ..... BOY!! So exciting (sic)."

The couple's second son will be a brother to Kai, who turned three in November.

Coleen announced her pregnancy in October, when she told her twitter followers: "A few people guessed, so news is out ha!! Me Wayne and Kai are thrilled that we are expecting a new addition to our family around May time x (sic).

"It's still only early but bursting with excitement! Also wanted the news to come from us, before anyone else! (sic)"

Coleen has previously admitted she would love to have a large family, saying: "I'd like to have maybe three or four children. I'd be happy to be a full-time mum."

Manchester United ace Wayne, 27, and Coleen married in Italy in 2008 after a five year engagement and he was at her bedside as she gave birth to Kai.

A source said at the time: "Wayne was a star with Coleen. He didn't leave her side from the moment she came into the hospital."

Congrats Wayne and Coleen!
