Robbie Williams to be a dad

He might be a big kid himself, but the Robster and his wife Ayda have announced they’re expecting a baby. And the announcement came in typical Robbie style…

The rest of Take That (barring Jason) have all got kids – and talk regularly about how much they love being a dad, but baby of the group Robbie Williams is about to join them. He’s going to be in charge of an actual child!

Robbie, 38, announced the news on his official blog this afternoon, saying he was “in love with a little person growing in mummy’s belly.”

The full release went like this:

HEY FRIENDLIES ,

The caps are Robbie’s, not ours, and are probably to show how bloomin’ excited Robbie is about being a dad. We even quite like the bit where he overshares about his sex life – classic Robbie, and we wouldn’t have him any other way.

Robbie previously admitted that he and Ayda were keen to start a family, saying he didn’t mind whether they had a boy or girl.

“The next time we go on tour there will be a little Williams in the dressing room,” he said last July.

“It’s about time. Baby girl or baby boy? I’m truly not bothered as long as we have a healthy baba.

“I can play footie with a boy, but a girl would defo be a daddy’s girl. So we would be blessed with either. Thinking about it.”

More news to follow – and hopefully some pictures of Ayda’s bump too.

Now we’re off to break the news to our 15-year-old self that we won’t be the one to have his babies.
