Robbie and his wife, Ayda, share four children together: Theodora Rose, 12, Charlton Valentine, nine, Colette Josephine, six, and Beau Benedict, five. The 45-year-old American actress first met Robbie in 2006 when they were set up on a blind date. They got married in a ceremony at their Beverly Hills home in 2010 with friends and family in attendance. It has been a busy few months for the Williams family following the release of Robbie's biopic 'Better Man' in December. February saw Robbie thank fans as he shared the news that his latest album was a UK number 1 album. It was a landmark 15th UK number one album for the singer as a solo artist. The 'Better Man (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)' was the soundtrack of the biopic. The movie included re-recorded and arranged versions of some of Robbie's classic songs, as well as his original song "Forbidden Road". The songs appeared at pivotal moments in the film about Robbie's life with She's the One, Angels and Let Me Entertain You all appearing in the movie. Robbie revealed his favourite part of the show is the band intros. He enjoyed having each member play a piece of member and watching the crowd respond. He told viewers that notable shows on tour so far have been Copenhagen, London, Barcelona, Italy and Manchester's second night. Opening up about his health, he said "well I've been ill with some sort of virus for a couple of weeks, which is making me feel very weak. It's par for the course on tours. Everyone gets something, in the past, though, I would have been paralysed with fear. He added: "Things at home with my parents? VERY precarious right now. It's real-world stuff that deeply affects me and my wife. And if my wife is affected you can bet I am. So the maths are: Virus + ill parents + stadium tour." In the comments of the post, one fan said: "Hope your family will be better we love and support you as always do" a second said "oh Rob, the world needs people like you so freaking much! thank you for everything you do, you're an inspiration to all of us." A third responded: "Thank you for showing us again a little part of yourself. Your thoughts, worries and your very private situation with your parents. I'm sending you lots of positive energy." A further response was " we love you too Robert! We love every inch of your being that you decide to gift us with! We also love every inch of you that you decide to keep away from us! We love you Rob, We will be there until you say enough!"

'Not ready': Robbie Williams shares emotional update during live concert as his 84-year-old mother Janet battles dementia
Robbie Williams has shared a deeply personal update on his mother Janet's health, revealing she no longer knows who he is as she battles dementia. The 51-year-old singer opened up during a concert in Leipzig, Germany last week, telling fans: "My mother has dementia and she doesn't know who I am anymore. She doesn't know where she is anymore." "I'm not ready for it," he added, as per The Sun. The British pop icon first revealed his mother's diagnosis in November last year, drawing a connection to his late grandmother's depiction in his 2024 biopic Better Man. "My mum's currently got dementia – like my nan in the film," he told Hello! at the time. Williams also touched on the declining health of his father, singer Pete Conway, who has been living with Parkinson's disease since 2020. He previously shared the news during the Covid lockdown, describing the emotional toll of being thousands of kilometres away from his parents while isolating with his wife Ayda and their children in Los Angeles. "My dad has Parkinson's and he can't leave the house," he said during his Leipzig show. "He used to sing with me every night on stage, he would come out, steal the show and be charming and then wander backstage for a glass of red wine. Now he can't leave the house." The health challenges extend to his wife Ayda's family as well. "My mother-in-law, who I absolutely worship and adore, has three illnesses," he said. "She's got lupus, Parkinson's and cancer. She is the most courageous lady and she is fighting, fighting, fighting." The Angels singer reflected on the emotional strain of entering this stage of life, admitting he's still coming to terms with it. "It's a strange place to be, this place we find ourselves, 51-years-old, it's very strange to be the grown up," he told the crowd. In December, the father-of-four admitted he was struggling to cope with his parents' illnesses. "The truth is that I'm very busy and I'm not dealing with the situation as I should," he told The Mirror. "I don't really know how to do it, it's an incredibly complicated thing. But I prefer not to go into details… You know, if I say something, they might read it, and then I would have to answer a lot of questions. "Let's put it this way: we are all human beings, with our difficulties, and I am trying to deal with mine."

Robbie Williams felt 'anxious ' before going on stage but developed new 'perspective' on fame
Robbie Williams felt "anxious" about getting on stage for his latest tour. The 51-year-old pop star - who had been married to Ayda Field since 2010 ' has been a major name in the music industry since his days as part of Take That in the 1990s but revealed as he launched his Britpop your in London on Friday that his wife had to calm him down in rehearsals. He said: "I turned to my wife [Ayda] in rehearsals and said: 'Babe, I'm anxious about this'. "She said, 'Rob, you behave like this is normal, you behave like you have to do this for the rest of your life, you behave like stadiums is where you should be'." The Angels hitmaker - who has Teddy, 12, Charlie, 10, Coco, six, and four-year-old Beau with Ayda - insisted that in that moment, his "perception" of things altered, and has now decided to embrace "getting older" with his audience. He said: "In that moment, my perception changed. "I might be in sniper's alley — but I believe I have got a lot longer on this runway to go. 'I look forward to getting even older with you and I look forward to seeing you at many shows to come, whatever size venue that is." The Candy singer - who has a reported net worth of £300 million - then remembered why he continues with his career despite decades of success and money, and insisted that it is all for his children. He said: "I remember why I do this. It is not for the glory, it is not for the money, it is because I have got four kids at home.' Robbie's positive comments come just weeks after he revealed that he had suffered a dip in his mental health for the first time in about a decade. He told The Mirror: "The year started with some ill mental health, which I haven't had for a very, very long time. I was sad, I was anxious, I was depressed. "It's been about 10 years...I thought I was at the other end of the arc. 'I thought this was the end of my story, and that I would just go walking into this marvelous wonderland. So for it to return was just confusing."
