Jan Williams is quick to make a respond to comment from Robbie's representative who describes her son's proposal to the actress in an Australian radio station as a joke.

Jan Williams finally spoke up about her son Robbie Williams' engagement to his actress girlfriend Ayda Field. Speaking to BBC Radio 5, Jan admitted that Robbie had revealed the proposal plans to her about "a week ago."

Talking about the engagement, she stated, "I'm very excited. I'm really pleased. They've been together for nearly three years, so it's about time." Of her future daughter-in-law, Jan said, "She's a great mate, as well as a lover. She's got all the qualities that he needs in a girl. It's a lovely match."

The mother further said, "I've always wanted a daughter-in-law." Hinting at Robbie and Ayda's marriage plans, she later added, "I don't think it will be that far in the not-too-distant future, but that's all I'm going to say on that."

Robbie Williams asked Ayda Field's hand in marriage when he made an appearance at the Australian radio station 2Day FM on Friday morning, November 27. Asked by the breakfast show's host Jackie Henderson if he had anything to share, the British musician stated, "Ayda Field, I love you so much. Do you mind being my betrothed for the end of time?"

The 30-year-old beauty, who was also in the studio, laughed at the request before replying, "I would love to be your betrothed 'til the end of time." Soon after that, Robbie borrowed Jackie's ring and slipped it onto Ayda's finger.

Commenting on the proposal, a London-based spokesman for the "Angel" hitmaker initially said it was just a joke. "He did say it, but in a jocular manner. They are not engaged," the spokesman testified.
