Robbie WilliamsRobbie Williams‘ recent shave and return to the Los Angeles social scene may have been spurred by being reportedly dumped by girlfriend Ayda Field.

The couple, who have been together for around a year, were rumoured to have had problems earlier in the year but only went their separate ways last month.

A source told the Daily Mail: “Ayda was attracted to Rob as he is vastly different to the average LA guy she is accustomed to, but in the end this was exactly what ended their relationship, he’s too different.

“Rob’s indifference about the LA scene annoyed her. He was content to stay in eat junk food and watch DVDs while Ayda was yearning for some glam nights out. That’s because Ayda is hungry to advance in her career and play the Hollywood game which means schmoozing, meeting right people and moving in the right circles.

“Yet Robbie doesn’t care, he doesn’t need to, he ’s ambivalent about all that as he can afford to be. He gave their relationship a serious go, but it was really the fact they weren’t on the same page in terms of where their lives are going.

“Golfing, hiking and a craving for privacy aren’t what an aspiring 28-year-old actress wants or needs.”

The source added that Robbie “hopes to have some fun with LA girls [this summer] and maybe even develop a[nother] serious relationship.”
