Robbie Williams and wife Ayda shared some sad news yesterday, announcing the news that their two beloved pups died on the very same night, together in their sleep.
The caption reads:
“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, had 3 big dogs & 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, 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:)
2 years later, when Rob & I decided to tie the knot, we knew exactly who we wanted for our bridal party…our dogs.
Poupette was, naturally, my maid of honor & Walle was Rob’s best man.
Through the years, Poupette & Walle have been there for the birth of all 4 children, multiple tours, countries, & all the ups & downs that life has thrown our way the past 14 years since we said, ‘I do’.
As time has gone on, we have had to say our sad goodbyes to each of those bridesmaids & groomsmen…
Miraculously, Poupette & Walle have held on.
Recently, Rob & I renewed our marriage vows. There’s a lot of things we’re facing now (more on that another time) and we wanted to celebrate what was good in our lives; family & love.”
They share more in the comments of the post, amongst a sea of support and condolences.
