Nicole Appleton
Robbie’s relationship with Nicole Appleton, a member of All Saints, dates back to the late 1990s. The two first crossed paths on Top of the Pops in 1997 and became engaged during their nine-month romance.
Reflecting on their time together in his documentary, Robbie described Nicole as “kind and fun and sweet,” emphasizing how the relationship played a pivotal role in shaping him.
However, he admitted that he was not in a place to sustain the relationship, saying, “I couldn’t look after myself.” Their romance ended a few months later, and Nicole eventually married Oasis’ Liam Gallagher and started a family.
Melanie C
The brief relationship between Robbie and Melanie C, better known as Sporty Spice from the Spice Girls, is another chapter of his love life. Melanie addressed their time together in her memoir, Who I Am, calling it a short-lived but thrilling experience.
She candidly revealed that they both were dealing with personal struggles, which prevented their connection from developing further. Despite its brevity, Melanie admitted that it left her heartbroken.
Geri Halliwell
The documentary also sheds light on Robbie’s connection with another Spice Girl, Geri Halliwell. Their relationship blossomed after their respective departures from Take That and the Spice Girls.
Robbie expressed how genuinely happy he felt during their time together but revealed that he ended the relationship after hearing a rumor that she was responsible for paparazzi following them, a claim he later found to be false. Interestingly, he wrote his hit song “Eternal” about Geri, adding another layer of emotion to their story.
Ayda Field
Robbie’s enduring relationship with his wife, Ayda Field, has been a cornerstone of his personal life. Married for over 14 years, the couple shares four children.
Their romance began in 2006 when Ayda appeared in a documentary Robbie was working on. Despite initially feeling they had little in common, sparks flew between them.
Ayda described their connection as life-changing, saying, “It was like the universe opened up,” while Robbie shared a similar sentiment, feeling as though he had known her forever. Their bond has since become a source of strength and stability for the artist.
Rumors have also linked Robbie to Nicole Kidman, following their collaboration on “Something Stupid,” and Lindsay Lohan, though neither of these relationships has ever been confirmed.
The documentary, now streaming on Netflix, offers an insightful look at these moments in Robbie’s life.
