Robbie Williams and his wife Ayda Field are absolutely devastated as they announce two family deaths.
The pair have been left gutted after their beloved dogs, Poupette and Walle, crossed the rainbow bridge together in their sleep. The ‘Angels’ singer, 50, and his partner took to Instagram to break the sad news to their followers.
Ayda had been best pals with Poupette for a whopping 18 years and even called her her “soulmate.” The duo also had another four-legged friend named Walle, reports The Mirror.

In a heartfelt post, Ayda penned: “Today, our dogs Poupette and 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..”

Ayda got real about her special connection with Poupette, saying: “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.”

Robbie also fell head over heels for Ayda’s dog when they first started dating. Ayda shared: “When I met Rob 6 months later, I told him Poupette and I were a package deal. Rob, at the time, had 3 big dogs and I assumed he’d balk 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, pop star… became a small-fluffy-dog kinda guy.”

The couple then decided to expand their family by adopting Walle. The TV star, who has four children with Robbie, continued: “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 and kissed us and chased us all around. From that day forward, on 4th of July, we officially became a blended family.”
Their affection for their pets was evident on their wedding day in 2010, as Poupette served as Ayda’s maid of honour, while Walle was Robbie’s best man. Both pets were the last surviving animal members of their family.
She concluded her post saying: “As time has gone on, we have had to say our sad goodbyes to each of those bridesmaids and groomsmen.”
