The 'Angels' singer and his wife Ayda Field welcomed daughter Coco - a sister for Teddy, six, and four-year-old Charlie - into the world last September via a surrogate after experiencing fertility problems and though he had never thought about having a child that way, he's thankful they did and won't rule out expanding their brood again in the future.

He said: "We started trying and then nothing worked. We tried everything but the only option left to us was surrogacy, which was something I never thought about, but the lady we chose is the most incredible human being.

"Coco is fully biologically ours and she's a beautiful, special kid. Who knows, we may have more. There is still the chance of a Robbie Williams football team."

The 45-year-old pop star admitted he was initially reluctant to have a third child because he was so satisfied with his "perfect" family unit but relented when he saw how devastated his decision had made his wife.

He told Event magazine: "We had Teddy and I fell in love. Then we had Charlie and it's a cliché but I would think of the words in my song 'Feel' when I sing, 'I just wanna feel real love, feel the home that I live in', and I knew I was now really feeling that. For the first time in my life. And then I said, 'This is perfect. Now we stop.' Ayda wanted more but I said, 'No, this is perfect.'

"I kept saying no because I thought I didn't want to push things. And then I was in the car with Ayda. We stopped at a set of traffic lights and a woman walked past with a pram and I saw Ayda's face crumple. That was it for me. I thought, 'What am I doing? I love this woman. Why am I saying no?' "

That isn't the first time Ayda has changed Robbie's mind as the former Take That singer admitted he never wanted to get married until he fell for the 40-year-old actress.

He said: "Ayda didn't save me. I was OK when I met her. I was sober. I was drug-free. But she did change me. For the better.

"She broke my greatest commandment, 'Thou shall not wed'. I met her and I wanted to marry her.

"She wanted kids. I didn't want kids because I didn't think I'd be a good enough father. I was too much of a kid myself and I thought if we had kids all these people would start invading my space: family, children, invaders."
