Pregnant Coleen Rooney displays a hint of bump as she and husband Wayne are seen for first time since sharing their baby news

Expectant parents Coleen and Wayne Rooney were swept up in the throes of baby joy on Thursday, as they were seen for the first time since announcing their news.

The couple, who are expecting their third child in January 2016, looked smitten as they stepped out for a meal at Tattu Bar & Restaurant in Manchester city centre.

Newly-pregnant Coleen, 29, - who announced the news via Twitter on Wednesday - just hinted at her growing bump as she slipped into a leopard print shirt for date night.

The happy couple - who have sons Kai, five, and Klay, two - shared their joyful news with a tweet that read: 'Baby number 3 is on the way ...... January!! We are so happy and excited.'

It's the first time the couple have been seen since they shared their joy and their excitement was certainly clear to see.

The playful pair turned to giggle at each other as they walked side by side, Coleen maintaining her signature glamour in tan heels and a matching YSL handbag.  

Despite the presence of a tiny bump, Coleen had been shooting for high street fashion brand Littlewoods during the day on Thursday.

She's proved that she's going to continue to work, despite being three-four months pregnant, while Wayne will also continue to play for Manchester United. 

But that night was reserved for a romantic evening with her man and she Tweeted afterwards: 'Gorgeous meal at @TattuMCR tonight' 

She stressed the importance of having one night a week dedicated to each other during a chat with MailOnline earlier this year.

The soon-to-be mum-of-three said: ‘We've had our ups and downs and it's been tough at times but we've had so many happy ones too.

'It's just about being as strong individually as we are together and that's all that can happen in a relationship. 

'Also now that we have two kids, we make sure that we have time together. We make sure that one night a week we go out for dinner or go to the cinema.'

Coleen and Wayne have been together since they were teenagers, and they have now been married for seven years.

She gushed about her desire to have another child earlier this year and hinted that the pair would love to have a girl next, to grow up with her two sons.
