MODELLING PIECES FROM HER OWN RANGE AYDA FIELD WILLIAMS ON HOW HUSBAND ROBBIE GIVES HER CONFIDENCE AND WHY HE'LL ALWAYS BE 'THE ONE'

Flicking through the pages of an edition of HELLO! from 14 years ago, Ayda Field Williams is reliving the day she became a married woman. Ayda and Robbie Williams's ceremony at their home in Los Angeles was covered exclusively in our magazine and the actress, presenter and fashion designer is reminiscing.

"Wow, what a journey we've been on - what a beautiful, blessed journey," she says. "I feel grateful to know that the man I'm in love with there is still the man I'm married to today, but even better.

"To have our families there, too - you don't realise how precious these moments are. We've really had a remarkable run and that day was the start of it." The couple have certainly packed in a lot since they exchanged vows in August 2010.

Now the parents of four children - Teddy, 11, Charlie, nine, Colette, five, and four-year-old Beau they split their time between Los Angeles and London while juggling wildly successful careers.

When we meet Ayda for our exclusive shoot in East London, she can't say enough loving things about her husband, even confiding that they may renew their wedding vows next year and plan to work together, too.

STRONG BOND

Warm, friendly and open, Ayda, 44, cries as she recalls how she felt when Robbie, in a Netflix documentary series about his life, said of her: "I'm the happiest man alive. She makes me want to be a better person." Wiping away tears, she says: "It's a beautiful thing when you're in a healthy relationship. I feel blessed that he inspires me to be a better person and I inspire him, too." Citing their continued laughter as one of the secrets of their happiness, she continues: "We have a very similar sense of humour - we make each other belly-laugh." She also says the Stoke-on-Trentborn star builds her up every day.
