Robbie appeared on Australia’s Kyle And Jackie O Show with American girlfriend Ayda Field when he popped the question.
But the singer’s spokesman confirmed: “He did say it, but he did it in a jocular manner – they are not engaged.”
On Sydney’s 2Day FM he said: “Will you marry me? I love you so much, would you mind being my betrothed until the end of time?”
Ayda replied: “I would love to be your betrothed until the end of time.”
Without a ring to offer, the radio presenter quickly removed her “froggie” ring. “Give us your finger, kiddo,” Robbie said, and presented her with the loaned ring.

The pair had been discussing how they got together at a party in Los Angeles, with Robbie confessing he had been unimpressed with Ayda when they first met. He admitted that later that evening he soon got to see her real personality and fell in love.


The radio presenter told them Sydney has a reputation for celebrity proposals and asked if they would consider marriage. After a few seconds of dead air, with Ayda calling the situation “awkward”, Robbie popped the question.

For the remainder of the show, the singer maintained the proposal was genuine and accepted the congratulations of fans phoning in to speak with him.

But when a caller asked what was the last lie he had told, Robbie said: “I told one this morning…” He then added: “I mainly just tell people the truth. With the exception of a few white lies here and there.”
