Robbie Williams' wife was recently reunited with her mother Gwen, and she proudly shared the sweet moment on her Instagram. "Socially distant visit with my mommy..." she wrote alongside a picture of her mother sitting outside in their garden whilst wearing a protective mask and gloves. She then posted an image showing her giving her mother a much needed haircut ahead of her next chemotherapy session. "Visits in the garden with my mother are rare since her cancer diagnosis and Covid 19, but I treasure every moment. Mum hadn't had a haircut or color in 6 months... she decided that for this week's chemo session, she wanted to feel good. So, I decided to give my hair cutting skills a go. Split ends gone and a whole lot of mother daughter love instead," she wrote.
