Steven Gerrard and Alex Curran snub Coleen and Wayne's big day

England footballer Steven Gerrard and his wife Alex Curran have flown into Miami - in what appears to be a snub of teammate Wayne Rooney and fiancé Coleen McLoughlin's wedding.

The couple arrived in the US with four friends yesterday, just one day ahead of Rooney's lavish Italian nuptials.

When reporters asked why they'd miss the much-anticipated £5 million bash, Curran refused to answer and turned away.

Liverpool star Gerrard, 28, wasn't in the mood for talking either, at one point pushing away photographers' lenses.

After arriving at Miami International Airport, the group of three men and three women boarded a black minibus before being whisked away to a luxury South Beach hotel.

The £400-a-night Delano hotel, where Gerrard and Curran have previously stayed, has oceanfront views and is favoured by the rich and famous.

Alex, 25, a model and mother-of-two, and fellow WAG Coleen are known to be friends who are occasionally spotted rubbing shoulders at fashion events.

And they may play in rival Premiership teams, but footballers Rooney and Gerrard have of course played together for their country.

Of course, Wayne and Coleen were present at the couple's high profile wedding last year, flying into the Cliveden estate in Berkshire via helicopter especially for the occasion.

"Everyone would expect Steven and Alex to be there on Wayne and Coleen's big day," said one source.

"Tongues are bound to wag about whether they've fallen out over it."
