Yummy mummy: Coleen Rooney shows off her post-baby curves in a leopard-print bikini in Barbados today

They may be a married couple, but Coleen and Wayne Rooney's lives couldn't be more poles apart today.

While Coleen was lying around on the beach enjoying five-star luxury in the Caribbean, her husband was earning their millions by helping Manchester United clinch the Carling Cup trophy.

The £90,000-a-week footballer has been left behind in cold, rainy Britain the past week preparing for today's Cup Final, while Coleen has been relaxing in Barbados with their son Kai and her family.

Since arriving last week, Coleen has been showing off her post-baby curves in a series of designer bikinis.

Over the weekend she flaunted her figure in a leopard-print bikini and a purple two-piece.

Coleen, 23, is holiday on the island with her 16-week-old son Kai Wayne, mum Colette, dad Tony and her younger brothers Joe and Anthony.

Meanwhile, back in England, Wayne was brought on as a substitute for the team in their Carling Cup final clash with Aston Villa at Wembley today, scoring their second goal of the game in the 74th minute.

Something which the family will no doubt be toasting from their pool-side chairs.

Not only is it baby Kai's first holiday, but it was also the first time Coleen had got to see the Rooney's completed holiday home.

Their £5million whitewashed villa is situated in the 500-acre Royal Westmoreland development, and has six bedrooms, an infinity pool and a detached two-bedroom guest cottage.

And they have a number of famous sports stars as their neighbours, with ex-boxer Joe Calzaghe, Rooney's Manchester United team-mate Rio Ferdinand, Gary Lineker and cricketer Andrew Flintoff all owning homes in the area.

Coleen and her family are believed to be staying in the house, although they have spend most of their days sunning themselves and relaxing at the Sandy Lane resort, a favourite of celebrities including Simon Cowell and Sir Philip Green.

Coleen is on maternity leave from the ITV2 Real Women show and her weekly magazine column, but she has kept her Blackberry and packed leather filofax close to hand every day to keep abreast of her upcoming schedule once she returns to the UK
