Robbie Williams' love life on the rocks

Robbie Williams' whirlwind romance with actress Ayda Field has reportedly turned sour.

Pals of the 'Feel' singer predicted that Field would be the girl that Robbie would settle down with - as she managed to tame Robbie's wild ways.

But now, the stunning actress has delivered a shocking blow to the tubby singer: She wants to stay in LA to boost her career, while Robbie longs to be on the road.

The rift has saddened Robbie, 33.

A source said: "When they started discussing the future it became clear they want different things.

"Robbie's life on tour or promoting his music can be hectic. He is feeling inspired but doesn't really want to record his next album in LA. Ayda is doing well and can't afford to be away from LA all the time."

Robbie has dated the 28-year-old actress for 10 months.

The singer - who is reportedly striking against his record label EMI over their plans to cut 2,000 jobs, has introduced Ayda to his family and his former Take That bandmates, Mark Owen and Gary Barlow - as well as several members of his family.

The source added to Britain's Sunday People newspaper:  "Ayda stimulated Robbie mentally and physically.

"He was smitten. And because she has a career Robbie felt secure that she wasn't with him for his fame and money."

Ayda appears regularly on American TV and is on the verge of becoming a massive star after a role in sitcom Back To You.

"She's bright and sexy and made Robbie laugh," the source said. "It will be a shame if they can't work things out. But things are looking very rocky."
