Rebekah Vardy to pay £1.2m of Coleen Rooney’s legal fees after libel case

The legal dispute between Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy has reached a partial resolution as Vardy agreed to settle most of Rooney’s legal costs, though Rooney continues to contest an additional £300k in expenses claimed by her. A judge ruled that part of Rooney’s expense claims were "substantially true," but Vardy maintains she paid more than her share, citing excessive hotel charges like lack of wi-fi and showers as justification. Both sides have agreed to a commercial settlement with only assessment costs remaining, capped at £100k by the court. Neither participant attended the hearing due to health concerns.
