Robbie wants to settle down

Robbie Williams wants to settle down in the countryside and have a family with two children, and says he has put his playboy lifestyle behind him forever.

In an interview with the top Croatian magazine 'Story', Robbie claimed he had turned his back on one night stands and was looking for that special woman.

He said: "My life is back to normal and I'm happier than I've ever been. I've realised that life is beautiful and fate has been very kind to me.

"I am sure a lot of people will be surprised I am not supposedly having a string of affairs, but it's true and I'm happier because of it."

He added that his lack of interest in having a succession of lovers and his search for a long-term partner was part of the reason he had lost interest in life in Los Angeles.

He said: "LA is a city obsessed with sex. However, that's not what I'm looking for. I'm in a phase of my life where I want to find a woman that I'd be happy with for longer. I'm looking for the woman of my life."

He said he also wants kids and had accepted that when it happened his life would change forever.

He said: "When I get kids I'll leave Beverly Hills the moment it happens. It's easy to see why, because all the kids that grow up there are unhappy. They simply experience too much in first decade of their lives. You never see a kid riding a bike in Beverly Hills."

Robbie said he would like to have two kids, and added: "It doesn't matter whether they are boys or girls, I only know that the name of my first child will be Sunny. We will live in England and most probably have a place in a countryside rather than the city."
