Coleen Rooney is every inch the doting mum as she shares a sweet snap with her sons Kai, 11, and Klay, 7, during a day out at the seaside

She often shares adorable snaps with her four sons on social media.

And Coleen Rooney, 35, took to Instagram on Monday to share a sweet image of herself and her two eldest boys Kai, 11, Klay, seven. 

The trio looked happy and relaxed as they enjoyed the sunny weather by the sea. 

The former WAG, 35, kept warm in a black padded jacket and shielded her eyes from the sun with black cat eye sunglasses. 

Kai and Klay beamed from ear to ear and also kept warm in padded jackets. 

Coleen's outing comes after it was recently reported she may be forced to accept defeat in her 'War of the Wags' legal battle with Rebekah Vardy.

The wife of ex-England footballer Wayne Rooney is being sued by her former friend after publicly accusing her of leaking stories about her private life.  

The bitter dispute has raged for 18 months, with another High Court hearing scheduled for July 2.

Friends of Coleen say she is considering throwing in the towel because her legal team are struggling to find vital evidence.

One source told The Mail on Sunday: 'She is still convinced she's in the right but that is very different from being able to prove it in a court of law. She wanted to settle this amicably ages ago but to her dismay, it has dragged on.'

Lawyers said the total estimated legal bill to date stands at £1.3 million – £900,000 for Rebekah and £400,000 for Coleen.

In the event of a trial, whoever loses will probably have to meet the other's costs as well as their own, and damages could take the loser's bill to more than £2 million.

It is understood that the Dancing On Ice star, 39, is asking that Coleen pays her costs and damages and issues a public apology.

A source close to Rebekah, whose husband Jamie played for England with her rival's husband, said: 'Rebekah will not drop her demands of a sorry from Coleen. She feels that a lot of pain and upset has been caused by the accusations against her.'
