The 26-year-old WAG told fans how 'over the moon' the pair are as she broke the news of her pregnancy via her Twitter account.
She told her 840,000 followers: 'A few people guessed, so news is out ha!! Me Wayne and Kai are thrilled that we are expecting a new addition to our family around May time.
'It's still only early but bursting with excitement! Also wanted the news to come from us, before anyone else!'
Manchester United star Wayne, also 26, re-tweeted the message.
It's certainly been a good week for Wayne as it was confirmed today that he will be taking on the captain role for tomorrow's World Cup qualifying game against San Marino.
And Coleen was first in line to send him her congratulations, tweeting earlier today: 'Fantastic news @WayneRooney Captain for game tomorrow!!! So proud of you!!!'
It's the first time Wayne has been handed the captain's band since England's 1-0 defeat to Brazil in a 2009 friendly.
Last night, after revealing their family is set to grow, the pair were quickly inundated with messages of congratulations from fans and celebrities.
Not all of the messages were entirely positive, with chat show host Piers Morgan joking: 'Congratulations on your fabulous news @WayneRooney & @ColeenRoo - and fingers crossed the baby gets its mother's looks...'
Luckily Coleen saw the funny side.
Stoke City player and Rooney's England teammate Michael Owen also took to Twitter to congratulate the couple, writing: 'Didn't think you had it in you to fill another pram @WayneRooney !!! Still a couple behind me! Congratulations to you both.'
And fellow WAG Danielle O'Hara tweeted: 'Congratulations to the lovely @ColeenRoo on her pregnancy bet Kai is so excited to have a little brother or sister X.'
Coleen later thanked fans for their messages, writing: 'Thank you all so much all our lovely messages!! We are over the moon x.'
The couple, who married in Italy in 2008, welcomed son Kai in November 2009.
Wayne has previously described becoming a father as 'the proudest moment of my life', saying he got a bigger kick from fatherhood than football.
A spokesman for the couple said last night: 'Wayne, Coleen and their families are thrilled and delighted that Coleen is expecting their second child.
'They wanted to share the great news on their popular social networking sites and that is why Coleen tweeted the news ahead of any speculation.
'Everyone is thrilled for them.'
Meanwhile, Coleen was back to work after announcing their happy news as she headed to a shoot for the Littlewoods' spring/summer 2013 collection.
She kept her fans updated, tweeting: 'Day 2 of @littlewoods s/s 13 shoot xxx.'
