Robbie invites girlfriend`s mom to live with them

London: Mothers-in-law can put a strain on a relationship but Robbie Williams has gone ahead and invited girlfriend Ayda Field`s mom Gwen to move in with them in his mansion.

With Williams moving to Britain full-time with his girlfriend ahead of the new album release, he`s keen for Gwen to come too. The singer feels it`s good for American Ayda to have her mum around especially if he`s going to be busy promoting "Reality Killed The Video Star". "Robbie`s new house is massive and it would be a lonely place to rattle about in on your own. But Ayda and Gwen will have a lot of fun together. There are tennis courts and a gym and some nice countryside. Plus there is completely separate accommodation so Gwen can have her privacy," thesun.co.uk quoted a close friend of the rocker as saying. Williams and Gwen bonded over a shared love of poker, and the rocker has been flying her over to Britain from her California home regularly ever since he got the keys to his over $13 million mansion in Wiltshire in January. "Robbie has really hit it off with Ayda`s mum. One of his hobbies is playing poker with a small group of pals including his mate Jonathan Wilkes. Gwen has joined in a few times, and on a couple of occasions Robbie and Gwen have carried on playing into the wee small hours after everyone else went to bed," said the friend. IANS
