Biography

Early life

Theodora Rose Williams, known as Teddy, was born on 18 September 2012. She is the first child of Robbie Williams and Ayda Field. Her birth marked a profound personal shift for Williams, who has repeatedly described becoming a father as a defining moment in his life. From the beginning, both parents chose to limit media exposure, keeping Teddy’s childhood largely private.

Family environment

Teddy is the eldest of four siblings. Her younger brother Charlie was born in 2014, followed by sister Coco in 2018 and brother Beau in 2020, both born via surrogate. Williams and Field have spoken about Teddy’s role as the eldest child, describing her as confident, expressive and naturally inclined to lead within the family dynamic.

Princess Eugenie’s wedding

In October 2018, Teddy made one of her earliest high profile public appearances when she served as a bridesmaid at the wedding of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank at St George’s Chapel, Windsor. The appearance drew widespread attention and underlined the close friendship between Robbie Williams and the royal family. Despite the scale of the event, her parents framed it as a private family honour rather than a step into public life.

Influence on Robbie Williams’ music

Teddy has had a direct and acknowledged influence on her father’s songwriting. Williams has confirmed that Go Gentle, released in 2013, was written for his daughter as a message of reassurance and protection, reflecting his hopes and anxieties as a new parent. He has also stated that Love My Life, released in 2016, was inspired by his children, with Teddy central to that shift towards optimism and gratitude.

Permanent tribute

Williams’ bond with Teddy is also marked physically. He has a tattoo on his arm dedicated to her, a personal tribute he has referenced in interviews when discussing how fatherhood reshaped his priorities. The tattoo sits alongside other family related designs added during his later career.

Interest in performance

Williams has spoken publicly about Teddy’s enthusiasm for singing, dancing and performing. He has acknowledged similarities between her confidence and his own early ambition, while also expressing concern informed by his experiences of early fame. This balance between encouragement and protection has shaped how Teddy’s interests are discussed.

Acting debut in Tinsel Town

In 2025, Teddy made her screen debut in Tinsel Town, a Sky Christmas film starring Rebel Wilson and co starring Kiefer Sutherland. She played the daughter of Wilson’s character, a small supporting role framed as a carefully managed, one off experience rather than the start of a career.

Home life and boundaries

Teddy has appeared occasionally in informal family moments connected to her father’s work, including footage of her singing Angels at home in Williams’ Netflix documentary series. Alongside siblings Coco, Charlie and Beau, she forms the emotional centre of Williams’ family life, with her parents continuing to prioritise privacy and childhood over public exposure.
