Robbie Williams, 52, is dubbed 'man of steel' by proud wife Ayda as he flexes his muscles while posing shirtless

Robbie Williams was affectionately dubbed 'man of steel' by his proud wife Ayda as he showcased his muscles in a new Instagram video shared on Monday.

The former Take That star, 52, put his buff physique on display as he worked his biceps on a resistance cord while shirtless ahead of a recent gig.

Dressed in nothing but low-slung jeans and tan boots, Robbie looked on fine form while pumping his arms up and down during some downtime backstage.

The Angels hitmaker was filmed by his admiring wife, who remarked: 'You look good there, boo... I'm filming so make sure you look really pumped!'

Joking that Robbie should pretend to have done a high amount of reps, she said: 'Why don't you just say 99...' to which Robbie jumped in, quipping: '900!'

Captioning her post, Ayda, 47, wrote 'Man of Steel,' with several of Robbie's fans rushing to the comments to share their approval at his toned frame. 

They penned: 'PhwoooaaaR. DING-DONG'

'The world's most handsome man!!' 'Go Robbie, go!!!!' 

'Beautiful MAN!!!!! Looking really good for his age!! Don’t ever change Mr WILLIAMS!!'

'Aging like a very fine wine.'

Robbie's display of fitness comes after he and Ayda shared a rare photo with their daughter Teddy, 13, on Wednesday as they partied in Paris. 

In a snap shared to actress Ayda's Instagram, Teddy cut a cool figure in a lace-trimmed white top and jeans as she posed alongside her famous parents and two of their pals during a night out in the French capital.

While Robbie covered up in a smart beige coat, Ayda was effortlessly chic in a black top with a leather tie belt, teamed with black jeans and chunky shoes. 

Captioning the photo, Ayda – who also shares children Charlie, 11, Coco, eight and six-year-old Beau with Robbie – penned: 'Party of 5,' tagging friends Michael Coste and Nicolas as she did so. 

While Teddy and her siblings make rare appearances on the pop star and US actress' social media, she had her own brush with fame aged just six when she served as a bridesmaid at Princess Eugenie's 2018 wedding to Jack Brooksbank alongside the likes of Princess Charlotte and Mia Tindall.

With the couple, who have a years-long friendship with Princess Eugenie, not often sharing images of their children, fans were quick to comment, sharing many lovely messages about the teen.

 They penned: 'Beautiful Ayda. Can’t believe how gorgeous and grown up Teddy Bear is xx'

'Aaawww look at Teddy, The rest of you look great too…'

'Beautiful! You can be so proud of Teddy. She is beautiful inside and outside!'

'Beautiful family ❤️ love how Teddy is the perfect mixture of mom and dad! Bless her' 

'The cutest! Teddy looks like the sweetest.'   

Up until recently, the couple rarely posted their children's faces online, often showing them from the back or with their faces obscured.

Last year, during his Britpop tour, Robbie surprised fans by projecting rare, un-obscured images of his young family on giant screens, while he even brought Teddy onstage.

And despite recently breaking with tradition, they still keep their three youngest children's faces hidden, though they now show Teddy's face after the teen stepped into the spotlight last year amid her acting debut.

In early 2025, it was revealed that Teddy was following in her famous parents' footsteps and had landed her first major film role, with the teen going on to make a number of red carpet appearances that year.

Teddy, whose full name is Theodora Rose Williams, made an appearance in Christmas film Tinsel Town, starring Hollywood A-listers Rebel Wilson, Kiefer Sutherland and British icon Danny Dyer.
