Privacy NoticeRobbie Williams’ wife Ayda Field has opened up about a heartfelt family conversation, where she explained her husband’s past struggles with drug addiction to their young daughter. Robbie, the global pop sensation, has been open about his battles with substance abuse and mental health issues during the height of his addiction. Fans got a deeper look into his past in his recent Netflix documentary. Ayda, 45, appeared on ITV’s Loose Women on Thursday, October 3, offering fans a peek into their family life and sharing the moment she discussed Robbie’s past with their daughter. The couple are parents to four children: Theodora ‘Teddy’ Rose, born in November 2012, Charlton ‘Charlie’ Valentine, born in October 2014, Colette ‘Coco’ Josephine, born in August 2018, and Beau Benedict Enthoven, born in February 2020.

During her appearance on Loose Women, alongside panellists Charlene White, Denise Welch and Nadia Sawalha, Ayda confessed that she values honesty with her children. Charlene initiated the conversation by asking, “How open are you with the kids when it comes to talking to them about their dad’s past?” reports the Mirror. Ayda responded, “We’ve always had an open relationship with our kids. I don’t think there has ever been a moment where we have sat Teddy down and said ‘you know your father is an addict, done drugs and slept with lots of women’.”

She went on: “It’s not something we talk about after school but there was a documentary on Netflix and I think there are things that come up in our lives and we have very age appropriate conversations about their father’s story and we have been through as a couple and we don’t shy away from that.” Explaining why she chose to only tell her oldest, she continued: “In our house we are very honest and Teddy is aware that her father is an alcoholic and drug addict and that’s why daddy doesn’t touch these things. She knows to a certain degree and when the other kids get old enough they too will know. “For us we just address these situations so that they feel safe so when they are out in the world they already know in case someone points it out to them.” Loose Women is on ITV1 weekdays at 12.30pm and on ITVXStory SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
