Robbie Williams' five word comment about wife Ayda Field when they first met

Robbie Williams opens up about the early days of his relationship with Ayda Field in his new Netflix documentary.

Both Robbie and wife Ayda have given an insight into the early days of their relationship, where they opened up about their first date. It was a mutual friend who suggested the pair go for a date and that was when the couple decided to meet.

However, things didn't go to plan for the pair, and initially they struggled to make a connection with one another, but luckily for them, everything worked out for the best and the pair are now happily married with a family.

Speaking in the documentary about their first meeting, he recalled: "She came over to my house after being at a party. I just saw off my dealer that I was sleeping with at the time," whilst Ayda remembered of their first meeting: "The house is completely f***ing dark. No candles. I’m like this is f***ing weird. So we’re sitting there, we have nothing in common."

Convinced it wouldn't work out, Robbie admitted: "I was like, 'Oh this is not working out. I better take her back to the party where she has come from,'" but the pair soon bonded in the car journey there. She said: "Unbeknownst to me, Rob was actually going to ditch me at this party! I guess we start, maybe because we surrendered to the fact we were not each other’s person, and this was a total mess. We were just completely loose with each other and we were saying funny s**t in the car. And I was like, 'Oh he’s funny!'"

Robbie decided to come into the party after all and the pair instantly bonded, with the singer explaining: "I had this moment where I felt like I had known her forever." He disappeared to the bathroom and took some drugs, with Ayda rushing him out of there and heading home with him to "nurse" him, as she explained: "We stayed up talking. He explained he had been sober for a very long time. He had just relapsed. It was like my entryway into addiction. I remember that being very scary.

"I was really liking this person a lot. Here was this incredibly troubled soul, a rock star in another country and f***ed up about it and a complete mess and so my person. Like my f***ing soulmate."
