Robbie Williams opens up about "chilled" baby daughter for the first time

14 September 2018, 16:06

The 'Angels' singer's wife Ayda Field gave birth to a surprise baby girl last week.

Robbie Williams has spoken for the first time about having his third child with Ayda, after she announced the arrival of Colette 'Coco' Josephine via a surrogate mother.

He told The Sun: "Coco is the most chilled baby I've ever known.

"It's funny. The first baby you have, 'Shh, it's sleeping,' then you hear someone coming in that closes the door and you run downstairs and you go, 'Shh! The baby!'

"Then the third one, the television's on, the kids are playing, the dogs are barking, the baby stays asleep and the world doesn't end. I wonder if the baby is so relaxed because we are relaxed."

He continued: "The kids are getting on really well with her, there's no jealousy. In fact there's just lots of love and cuddles and Teddy wants to feed her all the time. So that's what's going on."

I spy with my little eye an extra little hand 👀 So we have been keeping a very special secret! We are delighted to share with you that we have had a baby girl….welcome to the world Colette (Coco) Josephine Williams!! 💕💕 It has been a very long and difficult path to get here, which is why we have kept it on the down low. Family comes in all forms, and this little lady, who is biologically ours, was carried by an incredible surrogate mother, to whom we will be eternally grateful. We are over the moon to have this beautiful baby girl in our lives and so blessed that we live in a world which makes this possible. As with Teddy and Charlie, we ask that you respect Coco’s privacy and allow us to grow into our new team of 5! #TeamWilliams

Writing last week on Instagram, Ayda said: "It has been a very long and difficult path to get here, which is why we have kept it on the down low.

"Family comes in all forms, and this little lady, who is biologically ours, was carried by an incredible surrogate mother, to whom we will be eternally grateful."

She added: "We are over the moon to have this beautiful baby girl in our lives and so blessed that we live in a world which makes this possible. As with Teddy and Charlie, we ask that you respect Coco's privacy and allow us to grow into our new team of 5!"

Robbie and Ayda are already parents to two children: Theodora, five and Charlton, three. The couple married back in 2010, before welcoming first child Theodora in 2012.

The baby news came just a week after the couple's first appearance as X Factor judges.
