Robbie Williams SWIMS from restaurant to boat while his swimsuit-clad wife Ayda hops in dinghy

Robbie Williams and his wife Ayda enjoyed a seafront meal with friends in Formentera on Friday, with daredevil Robbie, 47, deciding to swim from the eatery to their luxury boat.

Ayda, 42, was transported by dinghy to the large vessel, but did enjoy a dip in the beautiful waters once she had re-joined her hit-maker husband.

Removing her chic cover-up and stylish hat once on board, Ayda looked gorgeous in a black swimming costume while doting dad Robbie put his impressive collection of tattoos on display in a patterned pair of trunks.

The loved-up couple had enjoyed lunch with friends without their four children and appeared in high spirits on the luxury boat’s deck.

Robbie and Ayda joined a large group of friends on board and chatted away while lapping up the warm sunshine.

Once out of the water, Robbie kept the sunshine at bay beneath a navy baseball cap and rocked a pair of bright red sunglasses.

It comes after the Angels singer reflected on the mental health battles he faced at the height of his fame.

He discussed the struggles he faced with depression and anxiety after landing a spot in Take That at the age of 16.

Speaking to Chris Difford, 66, on his I Never Thought It Would Happen podcast earlier in August, the 18-time Brit Award winner divulged into his own experiences with depression and anxiety with the Squeeze bandmember.      

Robbie said he couldn’t enjoy his career despite being given a ‘golden ticket’ at the age of 16 when he was chosen to be in the superstar band Take That.

He admitted: ‘I couldn’t jot down one nice thing about myself.

‘I hated myself… the high bits [of my career] were married with a really, really dark depression and deep anxiety. And none of it was enjoyable.

‘The fact that none of it was enjoyable made me deeply unhappy because I’d been given the golden ticket. This isn’t an uncommon story.’

After notoriously exiting the five-piece in 1995, he thought he would be playing at Knebworth, where rival band Oasis had performed to a 250,000-strong crowd.

The issue was that the Staffordshire-born singer hadn’t even written a song by that point.

Becoming visibly emotional, Robbie spoke of his overconfidence as he decided to embark on a solo career.

Despite wanting to be like Radiohead, Oasis and Blur, he described himself as more of a ‘cabaret act’ and couldn’t help but be ‘musical theatre’.

Robbie praised his wife for creating stability in his life and claimed family life is a ‘different level’.

The Rock DJ hitmaker began dating actress Ayda in 2006 and they welcomed their first child, Theodora, eight, in 2012.

They are also proud parents to Beau, one, Colette (Coco), two, whom they welcomed via surrogate and son Charlton Valentine Williams, six.
