Robbie Williams’ dad is proud his son live-blogged the birth of his second child.
The ‘Candy’ hitmaker’s father, Pete, thinks its "great" Robbie decided to share the birth of his latest little one with his wife, Ayda Field, online with his fans and believes the 40-year-old entertainer may have produced the videos – in which he sang his own tracks as well as hit song ‘Let It Go’ from the Disney movie ‘Frozen’ – simply to pass the time during the 14-hour labour.
He told The Sun newspaper: "I’ve watched it all and think its great he shared all that with his fans. I can only see people liking the videos.
"I have no idea why he did it, but when you have a baby there is a lot of time spent hanging around. Maybe he was passing the time?"
Pete added that Robbie’s fans will be "really grateful" to him for offering them an insight into the birth of the 8lb 2oz newborn, whose name is yet to be released.
He added: "Ours is not to reason why with Rob. He does what he does, he’s his own man.
"I think his fans will be really grateful."
During the birthing videos – which were filmed in Los Angeles on Monday afternoon (27.10.14) and posted on Twitter and YouTube – Robbie also gushed over his "astonishing" wife.
In one of several videos posted online, the ‘Rock DJ’ singer said: "I’ve never been more in love, and I’ve never been more proud of my wife.
"She’s been absolutely astonishing."
Ending his stream of updates throughout the birthing process, Robbie joked on Twitter:"No Moms Were Harmed.
"Thank you for sharing the journey with us, we have been blessed with a beautiful baby boy. RW x (sic)"
Their new baby will join the couple’s two-year-old daughter Theodora ‘Teddy’ Rose, who was born in September 2012.
