Robbie Williams' mother Jan has confirmed that her son is in fact engaged to girlfriend Ayda Field.

Robbie, 35, was speaking on the Australian radio station 2DayFM when he asked his US actress girlfriend Ayda to marry him, but his spokesperson then dismissed the claims as a joke.

However, his mother Jan Williams spoke to BBC Radio 5 live and said: 'Yes, you caught me shopping. I'm looking for a card... a celebration card.'

Asked if it's an engagement card she is buying, she said: 'Exactly, yes.'

The presenter then asked her if she can confirm reports that Ayda and Robbie are engaged.

She said: 'Oh yes. He's been there... he's wanted to do something different. She's a lovely girl, I'm really pleased for them.'

She added: 'I've got a daughter-in-law, I've always wanted a daughter-in-law. I've got a great son-in-law and now I've got a lovely daughter-in-law.'

My Robbie is set to wed: The singer's mother expects he'll marry soon

Talking about her reaction, she added: 'It was no surprise, no surprise at all. He'll probably propose to her, perhaps, when he gets to Paris, he'll do it there.'

Robbie didn't have a ring during the Australian radio show but his mother Jan said: 'Well... we don't always have to have the ring, but there is one. Oh yes.'

Asked about a date for the wedding, she said: 'I don't think it'll be that far... in the too distant future. That's all I'm going to say on that.'

The confusion began when former Take That star was on the Kyle and Jackie O breakfast show on Sydney's 2DayFM on Friday to promote his album Reality Killed the Video Star.

He he suddenly called Ayda, 30, into the studio to sit with him.

Host Jackie Henderson asked 35-year-old Robbie: 'Sydney has a bit of a reputation for proposals with celebrities, is there any news you want to share?'

Robbie then turned to Ayda, who he has been dating for two years and said: 'Is there anyone you want to get married to?' before asking, Will you marry me?'

Ayda said yes instantly and the singer added: 'I love you so much. Would you be my betrothed until the end of time?'

Popping the question: Robbie proposed during an interview with Australian radio presenter Jackie O, but his spokesperson later claimed it was a joke

She replied: 'I would love to be your betrothed 'til the end of time,' before he presented her with a ring handed to him by Henderson.

However, Williams' manager later told the Daily Mail that it was done as a joke following suggestions it was a stunt which was set up prior to the radio show

His spokesman insisted: 'He did say it, but he did it in a jocular manner. They are not engaged.'

Earlier this month Robbie told ITV's Loose Women that he was thinking about asking Ayda to marry him.

When presenter Carol McGiffin asked him if he was planning to propose, Robbie looked sheepish before replying: 'I might be. It could be on the cards, yeah.'

Robbie also revealed Ayda was ready for children but said he wanted to spend time with her before committing to raising a family.
