In a recent interview, the legendary pop star Robbie Williams opened up about his personal life and addressed the constant speculation surrounding his sexuality. The 50-year-old, who has been married to actress Ayda Field for 14 years, revealed that he has always been bothered by the rumors and was even driven to take legal action against those who spread them.
Reflecting on the situation, Robbie shared, "I was annoyed. I was more sad. Not about the gay accusations because, look, I’ve done everything but suck a c**k. Honestly, you’ve never met somebody that wants to be gay as much as me." He went on to explain his feelings using a football analogy, saying, "It's like somebody going, 'Well, you’re a Liverpool fan,' and me saying, 'No I’m not; I’m a Port Vale fan.' When somebody says you’re a Liverpool fan a hundred times, it’s like, 'I’m not a f***ing Liverpool fan; why do people think I’m a Liverpool fan?'"
Robbie, who rose to fame in the 90s as part of the boy band Take That, has been promoting his new biopic "Better Man." He also shared his thoughts on being an ally to the LGBTQ+ community while staying true to himself. "You want to be an ally while at the same time protecting your own authenticity and your own life," he said.
Maintaining a nonchalant attitude towards his sexuality, Robbie declared that he has no qualms about exploring his desires. "If I want to suck a c**k, [I'll] suck a c**k. Who’s going to f****ing stop me? My wife? The beard!" he joked. (For those who may not know, a "beard" is a term used to describe a person who is used to conceal someone's sexual orientation.) He also mentioned the history of "bearding" in Hollywood and how it dates back to the 1920s when studios would include morality clauses in their contracts to prevent rumors about their performers' sexuality.
The Angels hitmaker has been happily married to Ayda, and the couple has four children together. However, this isn't the first time he has spoken about his sexual orientation. In 2016, he opened up to Attitude magazine about feeling embraced by the LGBTQ+ community after performing in gay clubs in his early days. "I was raised in a society where gay was the thing you levelled at somebody you wanted to hurt the most," he shared. "So then being exposed to this world that I loved being a part of... I took my first ecstasy at a gay club [and] had the most incredible time."
Robbie and Ayda had planned to renew their wedding vows for their 10th anniversary, but due to the Covid-19 pandemic, they had to postpone it. However, they eventually held a belated ceremony this year. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Robbie expressed his gratitude and wrote, "Oh, Me and Ayda renewed our vows. I am very, very very grateful. I’m grateful right now. I’m not in the future, tired and stressed. I’m right here right now grateful."
Ayda also shared her thoughts on their wedding day, saying, "Wow, what a journey we’ve been on, what a beautiful, blessed journey. I feel grateful to know that the man I’m in love with there is still the man I’m married to today, but even better. To have our families there, too, you don’t realise how precious these moments are." She also added that their wedding day was just the beginning of their remarkable journey and that being in a healthy relationship has inspired them to be better individuals.
Robbie's story serves as a reminder that we should all be free to love and embrace our true selves without fear of judgment or speculation. And as the pop star continues to make music and inspire others, we can all learn from his words of wisdom and authenticity.
