Robbie Williams broke off with girlfriend thrice

Washington (ANI): Singer Robbie Williams has revealed he ended his romance with girlfriend Ayda Field three times in the first year because he was afraid of commitment. The former Take That star said it took him time to realise that the American actress may by “the one" for him.

"We broke up about three times in the first year because of me not trusting and not knowing that I really needed this and really wanted it," Contactmusic quoted him as saying. "I will bolt at any sign of anything. And if there wasn't one I'd make one up. With Ayda I kept looking for one. But she just kept on being this wonderful person."

"My dad met her and as he was leaving he turned to me and said, 'You're in trouble there, son' - as there was no reason to bolt. After a while I just saw what was there: a massive-hearted, lovely human being who wants to take care of me and I want to do the same for her," he added.
