Robbie Williams and missus Ayda Field say 'there's no sex after marriage'.
Not something you'd usually be so open about but fair play to them.
After getting married in 2010, the couple - who have four kids together - have admitted that not getting it on in the bedroom is not a problem.
In fact, the former 'Take That' star suggested he’s as happy eating a tangerine as he is having sex with his wife.

Quite the analogy.
“No sex in a marriage is only a problem if you’re on different pages; if one person wants it, and the other doesn’t; if you have different expectations or requirements,” Robbie explained to The Sun.
Recalling the period of his life he was on testosterone tablets to treat depression, he added: “But really, everyone knows there is no sex after marriage. That’s just the way it is. I was on testosterone for a while but, because I’m an addict, that had to stop.
“I got these massive square shoulders and started to look like a doorman. It wasn’t a good look."
“But the sex we had when I was on testosterone was incredible; it was all the time. We were insatiable. It goes to show how into each other we really are, though, because when I was on it, we couldn’t take our hands off each other."
“I miss that. That was a fun period. Sometimes now, though, Ayda will turn to me on the sofa and say, ‘We should do sex,’ and I’m sitting there eating a tangerine and just sort of shrug. So, ya know, sometimes we try.”
Ayda, who featured as a judge with Robbie on The X Factor back in 2018, said: “I think people confuse sex for intimacy.
“We are always cuddling and kissing, holding hands, and touching each other when we are just watching TV on the sofa, or a movie, or whatever."
“Intimacy is the important, meaningful side of love."
“I have friends who feel obliged to have sex with their husbands and that must be awful."
“Me and Rob are on the same page. We are happy.”
Amid the healthy approach to their sex life, the pop star was inevitably asked about a reunion with his old band mates, to which he told the publication: “I can’t see it not happening, but it’s not on the immediate horizon.
“But you’ve seen the tragic events that have happened with S Club 7 and then you think about our health, and who we are as people, and I’d like to, God forbid, do it sooner rather than later.”
