Robbie Williams' wife Ayda Field gave birth just four months ago. But the stunning Turkish-American actress looked in better shape than ever when the couple were spotted enjoying a date night on Friday. The pair took a rare evening off from parenting duties yesterday to spend some quality time together at the Tom Ford Autumn/Winter 2015 Womenswear Collection Presentation. Proving their relationship is more solid than ever following the birth of their second child Charlton Valentine in October, the couple proudly put on a series of PDAs when they took to the red carpet.

By  PERI SHARPE - ISTANBUL–This past year I fell in love with Istanbul, the city I have lived in for most of the last 18 years. I am a Turkish-American New Yorker, born in the U.S. to a Turkish mother and an American father. I moved to Istanbul from New York in 1996 for what I thought would be a year or so of getting to know the Turkish side of my family. And then I met someone. We fell in love, traveled back and forth between the two countries over the course of our 16-year marriage and until recently, I thought I was living in Istanbul because I was married to a Turkish man. I thought I was waiting for us to be able to move back to New York. Our plan for the future was to make our way back “home.”
