Robbie Williams breaks silence on welcoming third child with wife Ayda

The couple announced their daughter's arrival last week

Robbie Williams has opened up about becoming a dad for the third time a week after welcoming a baby girl with wife Ayda Field.

Last week, the couple – who are already parents to daughter Teddy, five, and Charlie, three, – surprised fans by announcing they had welcomed another child, daughter Coco, via a surrogate.

Speaking about his new baby girl, X Factor judge Robbie admitted Coco is “the most chilled baby I’ve ever known” and said Teddy and Charlie are getting on well with their new baby sister.

Robbie, 44, 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.”

Robbie went on to say that his two older children Teddy and Charlie are “getting on really well” with their new baby sister, insisting there’s “no jealously”.

He gushed that daughter Teddy wants to feed Coco “all the time”.

Last week, Ayda and Robbie revealed they had become parents to a little girl.

They said they’ve named their daughter Colette Josephine Williams but will call her Coco for short.

Ayda, 39, shared the couple’s happy news to Instagram via a black-and-white image showing the baby’s hand alongside those of her siblings and parents.

She told fans Coco is “biologically ours” and was carried by “an incredible surrogate mother”.
