Robbie Williams' wife Ayda opens up on emotional phone call that ended their relationship

Ayda Field has opened up on a phone call that ended her relationship with Robbie Williams in the singer’s new Netflix documentary.

The four-part series launches on November 8 and gives fans an insight into life behind closed doors for the former Take That star.

Robbie, 49, and actress Ayda have been married since 2010 but the mum-of-four admits they did call time for a period due to his battles with addiction.

As reports the Mirror, Ayda recalls one morning before his 33rd birthday when the musician called her and admitted he was being sent to rehab by his team.

Visibly emotional, Ada reflects on her experiences with Robbie taking drugs as she admitted: "It was my entry into addiction.

"You wouldn't notice his personality change but all of a sudden he would throw up watching TV.”

Talking about Robbie’s heartbreaking confession to her that he felt he would be better off dead because of his issues, she added: "There was a sense of... It would be better if I passed away, I didn't care and it would be alright," he said. "For me to change I'd need to be dying, die or stop what you're doing."

She went on: “I remember it was 2am and I called him and I was like, 'I am just getting on the highway' and he's like, 'Are you driving? Call me when you get home.'

"And he is like, 'I can't be in a relationship, I have to get better and I can't be with you. I have to break up with you."

And, telling viewers she felt “crestfallen” by Robbie’s problems, she added: "And it was like, I understood it because I saw that he was unwell and I remember thinking, 'I just want you to get better.'

"He was my soulmate and then he was gone."

The pair eventually got back together and now live in LA together with their four kids Teddy, 10, Charlie, eight, Coco, four, and Beau, three.

Robbie previously revealed it was hard for him to look back on some of his more painful memories touched upon in the series.

He said: “It was like watching a crash you were involved in, but in slo-mo. It was like enduring your mental illness at a very, very slow pace, over a very, very long time. And it’s a niche thing to experience, you know. There aren’t many support groups for it.”
