Robbie Williams: “I Wanted to Run Off When My Wife Got Pregnant”

Robbie Williams I Wanted to Run Off When My Wife Got Pregnant

Robbie Williams admits there were times he wanted to ‘run off’ when his wife got pregnant.

Last September, the British singer and his spouse Ayda Field welcomed a daughter, Theodora Rose into the world. Although 38-year-old Robbie is obsessed with the new arrival, he was terrified about the vision of fatherhood.“I know it’s very natural to keep saying, ‘It’s a miracle, she’s a fucking miracle, but she is”, William said.“When Ayda was first pregnant we’d have a week of me saying, ‘I didn’t want this. You fucking wanted this.’ But that was me just being scared,” he told British newspaper The Sun. “There have been times when I’ve wanted to run off. I will admit that. I start to think, ‘I’m not old enough for this and I’m still a kid myself,’ but I work it out.”

‘I don’t think Ayda understands my worries sometimes. I told her I needed to change a few nappies to get my anxiety levels down.’

The singer also realizes there is a lot of pressure on him to succeed with this record after his last three offerings — Intensive Care, Rudebox and Reality Killed the Video Star ‘ failed to impress.

“When you have everyone telling you your album doesn’t have a first single, it shoots at your confidence. So I thought, ‘Fuck you — if you don’t think I can write a single then I’m going to rejoin Take That. And I did,” he explained. “I get what my purpose is and what I want to do. I want to write big pop hits, sing in stadiums and have people smile and rejoice again.”

Robbie has battled drug and alcohol demons, but is now sober and happily settled with a family. However, he admits his addictive personality means he is always looking for something to take to the extreme.
