When the Rooneys hit the White House for Christmas Party

 

Barron Trump doesn’t make many public appearances, but he was more than happy to turn out for the White House Christmas Party on Sunday night.

That’s because the soccer-loving 12-year-old got the chance to meet one of his heroes – legendary English player Wayne Rooney.

Donald Trump’s youngest son was all smiles as he took photos with Rooney, who arrived at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue with his wife Coleen and their four sons.

Rooney and his family were reportedly personally invited by the president to the party, which was also attended by Ivanka and Vanessa Trump and their children.

Sources say, Coleen, and their sons Kai, nine, Klay, five, Kit, two, and nine-month-old Cass were given a tour of Trump’s private quarters.

Rooney, 33, and his family recently moved to Washington DC after he received a $13million two-and-half year contract with DC United in July and decided to leave the Premier League team Everton – and his life in England – behind.  

Rooney’s wife frequently posts pictures of her family settling into their new home and sources said an invite to the White House was an offer they couldn’t refuse.

‘Coleen and Wayne were stunned when they received a personal invite from Donald inviting them to the White House,’ a source said.

‘It wasn’t political. For them this was a chance to go inside one of the most iconic buildings in the world and give their children this experience of being there for the Christmas party, which is always spectacular.’

‘It’s an extra special welcome to Washington for them. It’s an experience none of them will ever forget.’

Barron has previously played for DC United’s youth teams and is reportedly a huge fan of the club.

‘Wayne is a huge name on DC United’s team so obviously Donald invited them because of his son Barron and how much he loves the team,’ the source said.

Members of the team were previously invited to the White House for the Easter Egg Roll in April.

Trump recently gave Barron a signed ball from the 2018 World Cup, which he received from Russian President Vladimir Putin.
