Coleen Rooney and Luisa Zissman have celebrated as their 16-year-old children joined thousands of teenagers across the UK in receiving their GCSE results on Thursday.
Coleen Rooney, a mother of four, shared her pride after her and Wayne Rooney's eldest son Kai passed his exams to secure a place in sixth form.
Posting a selfie with her 16-year-old son in their car, Coleen wrote on Instagram: "GCSE results day!! Super proud Kai Rooney….Great results especially with a busy schedule, all passed and a place in 6th form!! We love you."
Kai has been balancing his secondary education with an active football career. He currently plays as a right winger and forward for the Manchester United Under 18s squad.
Following the results announcement, the teenager returned straight to training on Thursday when Wayne and Coleen were seen dropping him off at Manchester United's Carrington Training Complex.
Coleen left school after earning ten GCSEs and serving as deputy head girl. She departed shortly after starting her A-Levels, following a proposal from 17-year-old Wayne on a garage forecourt while he was embarking on his professional football career.
GCSEs, or General Certificates of Secondary Education, are state examinations taken by 15- and 16-year-old students in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Achieving pass grades allows pupils to progress into sixth form, where students complete two years of post-16 study typically focused on Advanced Level qualifications.
Luisa Zissman Celebrates Dixie's Results
Meanwhile, former Apprentice star Luisa Zissman shared her own emotional reaction as her 16-year-old daughter Dixie opened her exam results.
Luisa filmed a video showing her eldest child reading her results from a tablet inside the family's mansion. Captioning the post, the mother of three praised her daughter's dedication.
"I’m so proud of my baby. She is amazing, hard work pays off and she worked so hard to achieve the results she wanted and exceeded everyone’s expectations!!" Luisa wrote. She added: "Dixie Lola you’re a rockstar never stop pushing, never stop working hard & achieving your dreams and goals, I could burst with pride."
Earlier in the day, a nervous Luisa posted a video while waiting for the results, joking with fans about the academic path ahead. "All of you 16-year-olds who have been hopefully working your a**es off I just wanna let you know, it doesn't matter because A Levels are so much harder than GCSEs," she said.
"Just kidding," added Luisa, who left school at 16 to launch her own business. "This is the day, I'm praying because my 16-year-old wants to try and get into another 6th form which she needed pretty good grades for. I think I'm more nervous than her. When you actually do work hard at something, if you don't achieve that it's a bit of sucker punch, and she really did work hard."
Television Career and Family Life
Luisa rose to public prominence in 2013 as the runner-up on series nine of the BBC business show The Apprentice. During her appearance on the programme, she famously declared: "I have the energy of a Duracell bunny, sex appeal of Jessica Rabbit and a brain like Einstein."
She now works as a digital content creator and co-hosts the LuAnna podcast alongside Anna Williamson. Last year, Luisa moved briefly to Dubai with her husband Andrew Collins and their daughters, nine-year-old Indigo and eight-year-old Clementine, before returning to her £8million UK mansion following the outbreak of regional conflict.
Dixie, whose father is Luisa's first husband Oliver Zissman, had remained in the UK during the family's overseas relocation to continue her studies at a boarding school.
