Tania Strecker made such a big impression on Robbie Williams that after they broke up he wrote a song about her called She’s Madonna.
Now the husband of the former model and television host, Anthony de Rothschild, is the one who continues to sing the blues.
Because I hear that the couple’s marriage is on the rocks after eighteen years.
“They’re done,” one of their friends claims. ‘It’s very sad. ‘They moved back to London from LA because Tania wasn’t happy, but they have now decided to end the marriage.

If they were to divorce, it could be costly for the amiable record producer. Harrow-educated Anthony, 46, is the son of banking magnate Sir Evelyn de Rothschild.

Tania, 50, who briefly presented The Big Breakfast with Johnny Vaughan on Channel 4, was previously married to Chelsea pub owner James Mosbacher, with whom she has a daughter. She was a friend of film director Guy Ritchie before he married the queen of pop, Madonna.
It is not clear how rich Anthony is because after his father died last November at the age of 91, it emerged that he left control of a £187 million fortune to his widow, Lynn Forester de Rothschild, who was his third wife.
He donated it to a trust fund for her and told her to continue living rent-free in the family’s historic rural retreat in Ascott, Buckinghamshire.
His will did not specify what financial provisions he made for his three adult children from his second marriage, after tensions were reported in their relationship with their US-born stepmother.
But the £187 million – said to account for ‘the gross value of the estate in Britain’ – appeared to be far less than Sir Evelyn’s reported £600 million share of the Rothschild dynasty’s fortune.
His racehorses, racing colors and a 1939 Bentley were left to his sons Anthony, 46, and David, 44. But a later change to the will – a codicil – revoked the donation of the car and its fate was unclear.
A separate 2014 codicil also donated his share of a horse racing stud farm, Southcourt Stud, to the unnamed trustees of the Southcourt Trust.
This was provisional because none of his children wanted to challenge the will or make any legal claim against his estate.
Such attempts would mean Sir Evelyn’s share of the stud farm would become part of his estate, the will said, meaning it would go to his widow.

Sir Evelyn said his children and their families should not challenge his will on any grounds.
The publication of the will follows claims of a rift between Sir Evelyn’s three children from his second marriage to Victoria Lou Schott – Anthony, David and Jessica – and his widow.
At his funeral at the Liberal Jewish Synagogue in St John’s Wood, north London, Lady de Rothschild reportedly sat behind his coffin with her two sons from a previous marriage, while Sir Evelyn’s children sat on a bench to the side.
All three of Sir Evelyn’s children are listed as directors of various companies linked to the family’s racing stud farm and estate. Jessica and Anthony are also trustees of the Rothschild family’s British registered charity Eranda, along with Lady de Rothschild.
De Rothschild declines to comment.
