Updated: Robbie Williams Proposes to Ayda on the Radio, Now His Mum Confirms It's True!
Robbie Williams proposed to his girlfriend Ayda Field live on 2Day FM in Sydney yesterday! After talking about proposals with the show's hosts he turned to Ayda and said: "I love you so much. Would you be my betrothed until the end of time?" It was a lighthearted moment, but Robbie has been talking about marrying Ayda — his girlfriend of three years — a lot recently and they certainly seemed happy as they joked together on the show — listen here!
The pair have just left Sydney, and were mobbed by press at the airport! Robbie's manager told GMTV this morning that the proposal was just a bit of fun — I wonder how long we'll have to wait for the two to make it official?
UPDATE: Despite his manager's protests this morning, Robbie's mum Jan has now confirmed that the news is true on BBC Radio 5 Live. She said he'd revealed his plan to her a week ago, and said:
"I've always wanted a daughter-in-law. I don't think [the wedding] will be that far in the not-too-distant future, but that's all I'm going to say on that. I'm very excited. I'm really pleased. They've been together for nearly three years, so it's about time. She's a great mate, as well as a lover. She's got all the qualities that he needs in a girl. It's a lovely match."
It's not been revealed whether the radio proposal was for real, or if Robbie proposed previous to the show. Congratulations to them both!
