There was a time I didn’t want to get married: Robbie Williams

The 42-year-old star revealed settling down was the last thing on his mind when his career started to take off.

Singer Robbie Williams, who tied the knots with actress Ayda Field in 2010, says there was a time he did not want to get married and have children because he thought it would be awful.

Robbie Williams married actor Ayda Field in 2010.

The 42-year-old star revealed settling down was the last thing on his mind when his career started to take off, reported Femalefirst. “I made a vow to myself that marriage and kids just wasn’t going to happen. I looked at others around me and it seemed like pain. It looked tiring and awful and I didn’t want that for myself. Yet here I am: married, two kids, feeling better about my life than I ever could have imagined,” he said.

Despite his initial reservations, the singer believes parenthood is the “best thing in the world” as it gives him a purpose in life. “Having kids is an emotional atomic bomb. It’s a reason to live and a reason to go to work. And this is the best job in the world, but it’s a job.”
