Robbie Williams’s wife Ayda shares tragic news that both their dogs have died on the same day

Ayda Field Williams said: “Today, our dogs Poupette & Walle left this planet to start an adventure in an infinite galaxy far, far away. They died together in bed, listening to ‘Dancing Queen,’ surrounded by tremendous love. For those of you who don’t know about Poupette and Walle, here's some backstory…

“Poupette’s been with me 18 years. From the day we met, she was my soulmate. I was a single girl, and all of a sudden, with Poupette, I was a ‘single mom’:).

“Everyone that knows me, called Poupette, ‘my shadow,’.... Because wherever I’d go, she was right behind me. It’s weird how you can share so much with a being that can’t communicate back in the same language. But, that’s the beauty of unconditional love… it needs no words.”

“When I met Rob 6 months later, I told him Poupette and I were a package deal. Rob, at the time, and 3 big dogs & I assumed he’d baulk at the idea of having to take a tiny, white, fluffy dog on the streets, shouting ‘Poupette,’ with a Northern English accent. But, Rob, immediately fell in love with her, and all of a sudden, the big tattooed popstar… became a small-fluffy-dog kinda guy.”

“When things got serious a year later, we decided to expand our family and get a dog together.

“There was no doubt the day we met Walle, this was the boy for us. He cuddled us & kissed us & chased us all around. From that day forward, on 4th of July, we officially became a blended family:). 

Ayda Field Williams went on to explain that Poupette was Ayda’s maid of honour at their wedding and Walle was Robbie Williams’s best man and also said that “The final members of the bridal party have left us, but if I know Poupette and Walle, they are going to throw one heck of an after-party. Poupette and Walle, you watched me grow from a girl to a woman, and supported me for all my adult life. I love you with all my heart. May you rest and play together, forever and tell me all about it when I see you again. Love, Me, “ she ended the tribute with a red heart.

Many fans have shared their condolences with Ayda and television presenter Nicki Chapman shared two red hearts. Another fan said: “I’ve always thought Poupette and Walle are the earthly symbols of the love Rob and you have. I wasn’t wrong. Words will never be enough to describe the emotional impact of losing our furry friends. Her message ended with the words: “Take your time to process and heal.”
