Robbie Williams’ wife Ayda Field shared a candid family admission as she detailed the moment she told her young daughter about her father’s drug addiction.
Global pop star Robbie previously suffered with substance abuse and mental health issues during the peak of his drug addiction.
The star has spoken openly about his battle and fans got more of an insight into his past on his Netflix documentary. Wife Ayda, 45, appeared on ITV’s Loose Women panel on Thursday, October 3 and gave fans a glimpse into her family life and shared the moment she told her daughter about her father’s past.

During her appearance on Loose Women alongside panellists Charlene White, Denise Welch and Nadia Sawalha, Ayda admitted that she likes to be ‘honest’ with her children.
Charlene started off and asked: “How open are you with the kids when it comes to talking to them about their dad’s past?”
Ayda revealed: “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 continued: “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.”
Revealing why she chose to only tell her oldest, she went on to say: “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.”
