Ayda Field and Robbie Williams have been married since 2010 and share four adorable kids (not to mention a fair few dogs!).
They are doting parents to Theodora Rose, ten, Charlton Valentine, eight, Colette Josephine, four, and Beau Benedict, two - so as you can imagine, bedtime in the Williams’ household is probably quite hectic.
But in a recent interview, Ayda confessed that having four children has taken its toll on her and Robbie’s love life - and we salute her honesty.

Speaking on her Postcards From The Edge podcast, Ayda explained: “When there was romance, when that happens, yes, there would be a communal sleeping place just out of physical need.”
“But now that that’s completely dead. It’s been obliterated by four kids. There is really no need to go to bed at the same time. It’s just a joint work space now.
“I might as well make the bed like a ping pong table and we could just play every now and then. And stray off into other corners to sleep.”

Ayda had been speaking about ‘communal sleeping places’ in reference to Robbie’s snoring, which, according to the model, gets pretty out of hand.
She shared: “Rob snores, which did not happen in the early days.
“I’ll sometimes kind of thump him with my leg, I’ll shove. Sometimes it works but then he goes right back.”
She went on to say: “Sleep does really bring me to the edge, because there’s so little of it available and you know you’ve got the kids in the morning.

“I have some girlfriends who are like, ‘Just sleep in a different room’. But then I think, ‘God, then we’re officially just room mates. We might [as well] be brother and sister’. Like, I’m just holding on to a thread with this joint sleeping place.”
She added: “It’s like a sleeping f*****g bear. Like honestly, the Gruffalo could walk in and Rob would just be there with his little acorn in the bed and would not even notice.
“There’s, like, earthquakes in LA — nothing wakes the man.”

However, Ayda’s account of her and Robbie’s sex life seems to be at odds with the former Take That star’s.
Speaking in August, Robbie told Grazia that his wife gives him ‘everything he wants’ in the bedroom.
“[It's] amazing for somebody built like me - to put it in vulgar terms - a sh**ger. She gives me everything I want,” the hit-maker revealed.
However, he then clarified: “I don't mean sex-wise. She's really empathetic, really kind, incredibly smart and very, very funny - and I trust her.”
