Robbie Williams reveals he no longer craves sex with strangers since finding love with Ayda Field

Robbie Williams was well known for his love of excess as one fifth of Take That back in the 90s. 

Addicted to drink, drugs, sex – and later food – he freely admits he ‘kind of broke the 90s’ due to a culmination of ‘self-medication, due to some sort of ism, and mental illness.’ 

And in an interview with Grazia, conducted over Zoom while naked in bed, Robbie, 48, said that while he’s a ‘s***ger’ his wife of 12 years, Ayda Field, gives him everything he wants. 

Speaking about their long-term love and family life with four children, Robbie said: [It’s] amazing for somebody built like me – to put it in vulgar terms – a sh**ger. She gives me everything I want. 

‘I don’t mean sex-wise. My thing in the 90s was sex with strangers, I didn’t know whether I’d be able to give that up., I was saying to her last night, it’s really special that we’re around a lot of really good looking people, all the way through the summer – and I feel no longing to be up to the nefarious stuff.

‘She’s really empathetic, really kind,  incredibly smart and very, very funny – and I trust her. The thing with sex with other people is very much like cocaine. I’m not looking for cocaine any more and therefore I don’t find it.’

The singer had many high-profile romances over the years, dating Melanie C, Geri Horner, Ayda Field, Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Appleton. 

Robbie met American Ayda in May 2006 when she featured in a UFO documentary that he produced for BBC Radio 4. 

He famously stood her up on their first date before they properly got together, getting married at his home in Mulholland Estates in Beverly Hills on 7 August 2010.

They now have four children together, Theodora, 10, Charlton, seven, Coco, three and Beau, two. 

Robbie has been making the most of his downtime and is currently on holiday in Ibiza ahead of his new album coming out on September 9.

There’s also a biopic about his life is currently being filmed in Australia.

The film, titled Better Man, will cover his incredible rise to fame from boy band heart-throb to stadium superstar.

Production has begun on the big budget film – billed as ‘a musical fantasy’ – which is being made in Melbourne by Australian filmmaker Michael Gracey who directed the box-office smash The Greatest Showman.

British actor Jonno Davies, 29, best known for the Amazon Prime series Hunters, will play Robbie as a younger man.
