As I delve deeper into the captivating narrative of Robbie Williams’ life, I am left in awe of his resilience and indomitable spirit. His journey from humble beginnings to becoming one of the greatest entertainers of all time is nothing short of extraordinary.


At a recent event for the premiere of his biopic “Better Man,” Robbie Williams maintained a smile despite the discomfort, following his announcement about his mother Janet’s struggle with dementia on Wednesday.

At the London premiere in Leicester Square, the 50-year-old singer strolled the red carpet with his wife, Ayda Field, both appearing cheerful and joyful.

At the occasion, Robbie presented himself smartly in a stylish gray-striped jacket featuring sparkling accents on its shoulder area and coordinating pants, adding a touch of elegance to his attire.

In a stylish display, Ayda, aged 45, donned a sleek, form-fitting black blazer paired with equally elegant pants. To complete the look, she opted for a tall pair of shoes, elevating her silhouette.

At the same premiere, Robbie’s former partner, Nicole Appleton, graced the event in an eye-catching red dress featuring a short sleeve and a striking high neckline, looking absolutely stunning.

With her golden hair cascading freely over her shoulders, the actress from All Saints finished off her ensemble by carrying a crimson handbag.

At the screening, Holly Willoughby captivated everyone in attendance and gracefully struck poses on the red carpet while wearing a mini dress that was black and boasted a deep-cut, heart-shaped neckline.

Previously hosting “This Morning,” she was 43 years old and enhanced her figure with black high-heels. To complete the look, she carried a handbag in the same color as her shoes.

Additionally, Nicola Roberts, sporting a plaid coat featuring a chic black faux fur collar and paired with black pants, was also present.

Lisa Snowdon showcased her long legs in a stylish pair of black leather thigh-high boots, teaming them with a black blazer and coordinating top.

Vicky McClure chose a sleek black leather jacket, paired it with a corset top and pants in the same shade, and completed the look with a set of black boots.

Laura Whitmore put on a sleek, black, long-sleeved minidress, accessorizing it with stylish thigh-high leather boots and a chic pink and black handbag.

At the premiere, Andy Serkis and his wife Lorraine Ashbourne were both smartly dressed. Andy wore a sleek black suit and a stylish dark blue patterned shirt.

Nicole Appleton’s sister, Natalie, chose a less formal style compared to hers; she wore a white blouse paired with navy and white vertical pants.

In the ’90s, Robbie and Nicole went out together, and it was Raechelle Banno who portrayed her in the movie “Better Man.

In my 2002 memoir, “Together”, I shared my perspective on our relationship and its heartbreaking end. I recounted the events that led to me becoming pregnant with Robbie’s child. However, due to mounting pressure from All Saints’ record company, I made the difficult decision to terminate the pregnancy.

Speaking about Robbie Williams’ response when I informed him about my pregnancy, I stated: “Robbie placed a hand on my abdomen and expressed, ‘This little one is giving me a new lease on life.’

In her autobiography, Robbie supported his ex-partner’s choice to discuss their abortion experience. However, he later confessed that revisiting the event caused him deep emotional turmoil.

If there’s a personal issue so ingrained in someone that they believe it would be beneficial for them to express it and let it go, since keeping secrets can cause distress and unhappiness, then I fully support her, as he had expressed earlier to the Daily Mail.

4 years ago, Robbie’s father Pete was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, and now, it’s been recently confirmed that Robbie’s mom, Janet, has dementia.

When asked about his parents’ opinions on the movie, Robbie shared with HELLO! that currently, his mother is suffering from dementia, similar to the character in the film, while his father has Parkinson’s and is unable to leave bed. As a result, Robbie finds himself in a unique phase of his life at the moment.

In 2020, Robbie disclosed that his dad, Pete, had received a Parkinson’s disease diagnosis. He confessed that he was grappling with fear and anxiety upon hearing about his dad’s condition at the time.

He told The Mirror that receiving the diagnosis during Covid made things extra difficult as he and his wife Ayda and their children were self-isolating thousands of miles away from his parents in Los Angeles

Currently, we’re facing numerous family challenges. My father is battling Parkinson’s, and my beloved mother-in-law is fighting a serious health condition. Sadly, we’re unable to be with them due to the distance, as my father lives far away.

At that moment, Robbie mentioned about his mother, who’s nearly 80 and currently isolated: “I can tell my mom is restless, her thoughts are spinning and her gaze is darting.

Previously from Take That, the musician often performs alongside his singing father, Pete, on various stages.

In the year 1977, Robbie’s parents parted ways. They have a daughter named Sally, who is eleven years older than Robbie.

Earlier, the pop star expressed his concern for his parents, who are at an age that makes them particularly susceptible to current events. He mentioned that he speaks with them every day.

Robbie and his spouse Ayda, aged 45, are facing numerous challenges, as Ayda recently disclosed that her mother Gwen’s cervical cancer has resurfaced. Previously, Gwen had battled breast cancer, and also been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and Lupus.

During an episode of Loose Women last month, Ayda shared with her fellow hosts that discussing this matter is particularly challenging for her.

In our household, there’s no open conversation about stages, and now, having had a discussion with my mom, I wanted to bring up the topic of her experiences.

As a devoted follower, I eagerly take on the task of sharing this story, ensuring it resonates with a positive vibe. Rest assured, I will strive my utmost to maintain an optimistic tone throughout, making every effort to make this narrative uplifting and inspiring.

Unfortunately, my mother’s cervical cancer has come back. She is also a victor over breast cancer.

Overwhelmed with feelings, she confided: “The cancer returned a few months back, and since then, I’ve mostly been dealing with it in private.

However, as we discussed the topic today during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, it struck me that I have always aimed to be genuine in both my interactions here and with my circle of friends.

It seemed right to discuss the private conflict we’ve been having at home.

Robbie has been working on Better Man since 2021 – with the film set for release on December 26.

In the movie, the character of the singer is played by actor Jonno Davies using CGI as a monkey. Although Jonno portrays the younger version of Robbie, the actual singer’s voice can be heard through narration, and he appears later in the film as the older version of himself.

‘Better Man recounts the incredible journey of Robbie Williams, a legendary British pop star, as he soars to fame, experiences a downfall, and ultimately makes a powerful comeback – a tale based on real-life events.’

In the creative leadership of Michael Gracey (known for ‘The Greatest Showman’), the movie is distinctively narrated from Williams’ point of view, showcasing his typical humor and unbreakable determination.

‘It follows Robbie’s journey from childhood, to being the youngest member of chart-topping boyband Take That, through to his unparalleled achievements as a record-breaking solo artist – all the while confronting the challenges that stratospheric fame and success can bring.’
