Ayda Field hopes she and her husband Robbie Williams don’t have ugly children

The American actress, who married the Take That singer in August, says the couple plan to start trying for a baby in the New Year but is paranoid about having “minging” – a British slang word for unattractive – kids.

She said: “I can’t wait to have kids. I hope they are not minging. But some people at my school had the ugliest parents, and they came out pretty.

“I hope ours gets all the best bits, but it’s pot luck who gets the minging ones. Hmmm, I’ll love them any way, I guess…”

She added to the Daily Mirror newspaper: “But even supermodels can have ugly parents, and they turn out great. So I’m excited.”

The blonde beauty has also revealed the couple’s plans for Christmas.

Ayda, 31, and 36-year-old Robbie will be eating their turkey at their sun-drenched Los Angeles home.

She said: “I’m really looking forward to Christmas in Los Angeles.

But we’ll have a British roast, just with the sunshine. Then we’re coming back to Britain for four months.”

Robbie Williams has got married

The 36-year-old singer tied the knot with long-term partner Ayda Field in an intimate ceremony at the couple’s Beverly Hills home at 5pm yesterday (07.08.10).

Robbie’s delighted father Pete Conway said: “At last, Rob is happy. That’s what you want for your kids and this is the happiest I’ve seen him. Ayda is so beautiful and so delightful and so lovely and just so right for him. They are brilliant together.”

The wedding had been shrouded in mystery, with friends only told of the couple’s wedding plans a few days ago and the venue changed at the last minute from the island of Catalina to their Los Angeles house amid security concerns.

A friend of the couple said: “The ‘save-the-date’ cards that went out two weeks ago only said it was a party to celebrate Robbie’s 20 years in showbusiness.

“It was only in the last few days that news leaked out that it was going to be a wedding. Robbie is the happiest I have ever seen him.

“He says that until Ayda came along he didn’t know what it was like to be truly happy. He credits her with teaching him how to learn to laugh and love again.”

According to reports, the 30-minute ceremony was followed by a sit-down dinner and dancing, but it is believed alcohol was banned from the couple’s big day at the request of Robbie, who has previously battled alcoholism and drug addiction.

Robbie’s father Pete and mum Jan Williams flew out for the ceremony, while the 31-year-old actress’ mother also attended, but not her estranged dad.

The singer’s best friend Jonathan Wilkes was also a guest at the wedding, but his Take That bandmates – Gary Barlow, Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald – were not there as they had prior vacation commitments.

Robbie Williams uses sex to keep himself trim.

The 36-year-old singer – who has famously battled with his weight throughout his career – insists his new toned physique is all down to bedroom antics with fiancee .

When questioned about his new buff body, Robbie said: “You’re talking abut sex now. Yes we do it, we do it, we really do it!”

However, it isn’t just sex that keeps him slim – the ‘Bodies’ singer also finds the time to run every day – and has used his celebrity-filled Soccer Aid charity event, which takes place on Sunday (06.06.10) as a target for getting fitter.

He told the Daily Star newspaper: “I’ve been running six or seven miles a day, playing a couple of 90 minute games a week, so I am knackered.

“I don’t think I’ve lost weight but I have toned up. It’s been a good process and it’s been great to have something to aim for.”

Robbie isn’t the only celebrity who uses to sex to look good – ‘Shrek Forever After’ star Cameron Diaz also credits it as keeping her youthful.

The 37-year-old beauty said: “I don’t want to look 25 again. The fountain of youth for me, let’s see. I guess it’s exercise, healthy diet, lots of water, lots of laughter, lots of sex – yes, sex, we need that as human beings. It’s healthy, it’s natural, it’s what we are here to do!“

The ‘Bodies’ singer only got engaged last week but is desperate to make Ayda Field – who he has been dating for around three years – his wife, and has earmarked the romantic day as a possible wedding date.

A source told the Daily Star newspaper: “Robbie doesn’t want to have a long, drawn-out engagement. When he gets something in his head, there’s no stopping him. He’s asked all his friends and family to keep the entire week free leading up to February 14, so they can have a week-long celebration before Valentine’s Day.”

The 35-year-old star is hoping to whisk loved-ones over to Santa Barbara, California, for the ceremony and he has already looked around two prospective venues.

The nuptials are set to be a star-studded event, with his former Take That bandmates Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Mark Owen and Jason Orange and other celebrity pals set to attend.

The source added: “He has asked best friend Jonathan Wilkes to be best man and it’s likely Take That will perform.”

The 35-year-old singer admits he and girlfriend Ayda Field have discussed starting a family and expect it to happen in the near future as they are ready to settle down.

He said: “That’s definitely on the agenda – little monkeys running around. It’s about time. I’ve had a good innings.”

Despite proposing to 30-year-old Ayda live on Australian radio last month, Robbie insists it was just a joke and he and the actress have no plans to marry.

He told Closer magazine: “I’ve been going out with her for nearly three years and solidly for a year and a half. But I want us to play around and have more fun and not be grown-ups yet.”

The ‘Bodies’ star is content with his relationship with Ayda and believes they would still be together even if he wasn’t famous.

He added: “She digs me and I dig her, she knows who I am and I know who she is.

“I trust her 100 per cent and there isn’t even a glimmer of worry of her only liking me for all this singing thing.

“I’m a pretty cool guy without all of that anyway!”

When asked the secret to their long relationship, Robbie says it is “the little things like cuddles and tickles” and insists they never fight.

He said: “We never fall out, we just get on and make each other laugh. We’re a good team.”

The ‘Bodies’ singer – who is dating actress Ayda Field – has revealed his mother Janet is so desperate for him to settle down and start a family, she told people he was already engaged to try and hurry him along.

He said: “I’m probably going to get married but I didn’t get engaged on the radio the other week. It was just part of the interview. Then my mum went, ‘Oh yes, oh yes. I’ve bought the hat, I’ve bought a card.’ She just wants grandkids. She just wants to speed up the process.”

Last month, Robbie jokingly proposed to his lover of three-years during a live interview with an Australian radio station.

He said to Ayda: “Will you marry me, baby? Ayda Field, I love you so much, would you mind being my betrothed until the end of time?”

The 30-year-old beauty replied: “Yes, I’ll marry you.”

The next day, Janet claimed the engagement was real and admitted she was “excited” about seeing her son getting wed.

She said: “It’s a lovely match. She’s a lovely girl.

“We don’t always have to have the ring, but there is one. I’m very excited.”

The body of Aaron Vickers – who once shared a cabin with his partner on the land of Robbie’s £7 million mansion in Compton Bassett, Wiltshire, South West England – was discovered by a 16-year-old girl hanging from a tree next to a primary school.

Vickers had left his home in the early hours of Monday morning (30.11.09) telling his live-in lover he was going for a walk.

Mick Green, the owner of Knock-em-Dead the hair salon Vickers worked at, said: “Aaron was a larger-than-life character who touched everyone he met. When we found out what had happened to him, everyone was devastated. We closed the shop and went home.”

A spokesman for Wiltshire Police has confirmed an investigation is now underway although the death is not believed to be suspicious.

They said: “It is not believed there are any suspicious circumstances surrounding the death but as inquiries are still ongoing it would not be appropriate to comment further.”

Although he lived in the property for some time, Vickers is recently believed to have moved to a house in nearby Oakhurst.

Vickers is believed to have met Robbie through mutual friend Jonathan Wilkes.

A spokesman for the ‘Angels’ singer said: “Robbie Williams would like to express his profound sadness at the news of Aaron Vicker’s death, and sends his deepest condolences to Aaron’s partner, his family and his friends. Robbie did allow Aaron and his partner to stay in a property on his estate for a period of two months this spring. However, Aaron was not employed by Robbie as his hairdresser and their acquaintance came about through mutual friends Jonathan and Nikki Wilkes.”

Robbie had been living in Los Angeles since 2004 before buying the 71-acre Wiltshire property in January.

The pop star recently admitted he is planning to sell the mansion because his American actress girlfriend Ayda Field doesn’t like the British weather or way of life.

He is believed to be planning to move to Australia so he can go UFO hunting.

The ‘Bodies’ singer arrived in Sydney this week with girlfriend Ayda Field to promote his new album, ‘Reality Killed the Video Star’, and will also use the trip as an opportunity to find a property in the Australian Outback.

One of Robbie’s team has already been to visit the Holiday Park, in Wycliffe Well, which has more reported UFO sightings than any other place in Australia.

Lew Farkas, the owner of the Holiday Park, told the Courier News newspaper: “A mate of his came and stayed here and was telling me how Robbie was right into UFOs and was a real buff on the subject. He said he would let him know about Wycliffe Well and the UFO element.

“Being the UFO buff that he is, it would fit in with his way of thinking. Maybe it could be a joint venture. He might want to invest in it and I could look after it.”

Wycliffe Well is ranked 5th in the world for reported UFO sightings which date as far back as World War II when serving armed forces recorded strange things in the sky.

Robbie – who became interested in aliens while living in Los Angeles – recently revealed he had a premonition he would eventually live Down Under.

He said: “I’m thinking of coming down there. I have been looking for places out in the Outback, maybe a farm.

Robbie, 35, claims he has had had three alien encounters in his lifetime.

He says the first was when he saw a “square thing” passed 300 feet above his head while he relaxed on a sun lounger at the Beverley Hills hotel in California. The second was while he was playing a song he wrote about alien contact called ‘Arizona’.

Robbie who also says while he was in a recording studio a “big strip of black light” miraculously appeared in the room.

The ‘Bodies’ singer was on the Kyle and Jackie O breakfast show on Sydney’s 2DayFM to promote his new album ‘Reality Killed the Video Star’ and decided it was time to pop the question.

Ayda, 30, was in the studio with him when Jackie asked Robbie if there was any news he wanted to share.

The British singer turned to Ayda and said: “Is there anyone you want to get married to? Will you marry me?”

Ayda – who has been dating the ‘Angels’ singer for the past two years – said ‘yes’, although Robbie hadn’t prepared for the proposal and had to slip Jackie’s ring onto her finger.

A spokesperson for Robbie is yet to confirm whether the engagement is genuine.

During the interview, Robbie also revealed he misses being in Take That.

He said: “I’ve always wanted to be in a band ever since I left Take That and looking at the love they’ve all got for each other, I fancy a bit of that myself.”

The British singer – who dons a bunny costume for the promotional video for his new single ‘You Know Me’ -  claims lover Ayda Field insisted he kept the outfit and even bought a matching one for herself to wear in their home.

He confessed: “I’ve kept the rabbit costume, and she’s got a girl’s rabbit costume.”

Ayda loves dressing up so much, she has even bought ballet dancer outfits for their pet dogs and plans to show them off in the coming months.

Robbie added: “We just had all the dogs fitted with tutus. It’s not me, it’s her but I’ve been dragged along and have no say in the matter. I think we’ll do a Christmas Card or something. Don’t pretend it’s normal, it’s mental. I had nothing to do with it!”

The ‘Bodies’ hitmaker dotes on his pet pooches and even dedicated a song he was performing to his puppy Poopette, admitting he often sings to the hound at home.

Explaining why he was doing a version of The Killers’ hit ‘Human’, he told BBC Radio 1 DJ Fearne Cotton: “It’s my favourite song of this year. It’s a song that I actually sing to our little Maltipoo, Poopette, while she’s in my arms and I give her a nice little tickle.

“I change some of the lyrics to a dog style, I’m going to do that today as an ode to Poopette. If she can put her little doggy ear to a speaker I’ll sing the first chorus to her.”

Robbie then went on to perform the track, changing the chorus line to:  “You’re on your back being tickled by a dancer, daddy don’t suffer with pet dander.”

The ‘Rock DJ’ singer – who is currently trying to make his way back to the top of the pop charts after a three year break from music – made just £269,000 last year, down from £1 million in 2007 and a massive drop from the staggering £32 million he generated from record sales, concerts and merchandising in 2006.

Robbie’s spokesperson said they had “no comment to make” on the figures, which are revealed in accounts for his firm The In Good Company Co Ltd.

While Robbie’s income has fallen, it hasn’t curbed the generous streak in the 35-year-old former Take That star.

The ‘Bodies’ singer reportedly put his lavish UK home – which he bought for £8 million earlier this year – up for sale when he and girlfriend Ayda Field moved back to Los Angeles in order to pay off the actress’ mother Gwen’s debts.

A friend previously said: “Debtors are literally on Gwen’s doorstep. Her house has been threatened with foreclosure. She doesn’t work and has relied on money from her divorce and from family to fund her lifestyle.

“But things have been getting tricky recently and she’s worried about the future. Robbie has already been extremely generous.”

The ‘Bodies’ singer admitted he is gathering the courage to ask actress Ayda Field – who he has been dating since January 2007 – to be his wife.

When asked by if he plans to marry Ayda, Robbie replied: “I might be. It could be on the cards… yeah.”

His answer was met with cheers from the audience, to which the singer replied: “You’re happy that I’m happy, right?”

While Robbie’s relationship with Ayda is going well, he is also delighted to have rekindled his friendship with former Take That bandmates Gary Barlow – with whom he was locked in a bitter feud with after departing the group in 1995 – Mark Owen, Jason Orange and Howard Donald.

He said: “I’m so glad I have sorted out my relationship with them. We sat down and did all the hard talk straight away and sorted everything out and then it was done.

Gary’s just a very, very well rounded loving man. He’s special and he should be regarded as special in this country.”

The singer also admitted he enjoys thinking back to the band’s early days, despite being unable to remember much of what happened.

He added on UK TV show ‘Loose Women’: “Regarding nostalgia, I can’t remember much. Two trips to rehab will do that.

“But I absolutely embrace those days when it was five mates travelling around the world having a whale of a time and pre-pubescent girls screaming at us. Who have since grown up.

The ‘Bodies’ hitmaker – who left the group in 1995 and embarked on a successful solo career – has revealed he has been meeting up with former bandmates Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange and Mark Owen to work on a secret project.

When asked if he’ll be performing with the foursome again, he said: “We’ve got together, done bits and bobs. I can’t say much, but yes, I hope so.”

The 35-year-old singer – who has previously battled alcohol and drug addictions – also spoke candidly about how he was forced to stop performing in 2007 when his personal problems began to spiral out of control.

In an episode of TV talk show ‘Friday Night With Jonathan Ross’ due to air in the UK on Friday (06.11.09), he said: “The decision to quit playing live was made for me, I’ve always been very nervous… 80,000 people, it’s an unnatural thing to do. You don’t know what’s going on in my head.

“It’s traumatic, really scary. I ended up in rehab again, it was ‘What are you doing to yourself?’ I thought it’s time to break the cycle.”

Robbie is now determined to remain sober for his girlfriend of three years, Ayda Field, so they can start a family together.

He added: “I’ve taken the pressure off myself, it’s a part-time thing these days. The missus keeps me grounded. There’s no need to take myself out of my mind any more.

“I thought I was going to be a bachelor but I was introduced to Ayda and things just changed. She’s a wonderful person and I’m in love. She’s really broody and I’m getting there.”

Robbie sparked speculation he was working with the group again after they were all spotted at New York’s Electric Lady Studio while the band were in America for Mark’s bachelor party.

After just eight months in England, the ‘Bodies’ singer and his girlfriend Ayda Field – who bought the 18th century Wiltshire house for £8.5 million in February – have slashed the estate’s price so they can get back to sunny Los Angeles as quickly as possible.

An insider said: “Robbie is desperate to get things moving quickly rather than hang around just to get a bit more money. Being settled back in the States quickly with Ayda is more important to him.

“He’s already got a few people interested in the mansion.”

The 35-year-old star has previously admitted the house – which has its own helicopter hangar, temples and fountains – was an “impulse buy” when he returned to England after five years in the US.

He and Ayda were planning to make it their family home, but quickly became fed up with the rainy weather.

He recently said:  “Ayda’s always wanted to have the change in the seasons – and it’s winter and glorious. The garden is pretty special, a winter wonderland and you just want to get cosy.

“Then it comes to summer and the weather doesn’t change that much. Then you think, ‘Hmm, LA was good’. Every day you wake up you’re in the sun. Your body feels different, your mind feels different – so we’re going back.”

Although Robbie would like to keep the house, he has admitted he can’t afford to maintain it if he’s not living there.

He said: “I can’t really afford to keep it. Maintenance is a lot. I’ve done a few impulse buys and it leaves you no money.”
