"A few years ago it didn't bother me and I answered the question, but now I think, 'I don't need to answer that because nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors.' I remember when I finished Our Girl, people were like, 'Is it because you’re going off to have a baby?'"

"I mean she saw a picture I think of you and the family - and said, 'Oh I love that name so much'. I’m asking you if it comes to it and she wants to call the kid Theodora or Teddy, are you gonna be alright with that?"

The couple were married in May 2015

Robbie was thrilled by the idea, even revealing that he actually "stole" the name from Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards' daughter. "Absolutely!" he exclaimed. "Listen, who was it, it was Keith Richards has a daughter called Theodora and I remember back in the day, maybe 20 years ago, thinking what a beautiful name. So I stole it from Keith Richards so don't you worry about that!" he added.
