Robbie Williams has shared a heartbreaking update on his mother Janet’s current health amid her battle with d3mentia.

Speaking about her battle with d3mentia, Robbie explained that she no longer knows who he is as he heartbreakingly admitted he ‘isn’t ready for it’.
Robbie also discussed his father Pete’s battle with Parkinson’s and shared he can no longer leave the house.
As per The Sun, Robbie said: ‘My mother has d3mentia and she doesn’t know who I am anymore. She doesn’t know where she is anymore. My dad has Parkinson’s and he can’t leave the house.
‘He used to sing with me every night on stage, he would come out, steal the show and be charming and then wander backstage for a glass of red wine. Now he can’t leave the house.

‘My mother-in-law, who I absolutely worship and adore, has three illn3sses. She’s for lupus, Parkinson’s and cnc3r. She is the most courageous lady and she is fighting, fighting, fighting.’
Speaking about how things have got more real, Robbie confessed ‘It’s a strange place to be’ before admitting ‘I’m not ready for it’.
Towards the end of last year, Robbie told The Mirror that he ‘didn’t know’ how to cope with the ‘incredibly complicated’ situation.
‘The truth is that I’m very busy and I’m not dealing with the situation as I should.
‘I don’t really know how to do it, it’s an incredibly complicated thing’.
He continued: ‘But I prefer not to go into details, You know, if I say something, they might read it, and then I would have to answer a lot of questions’.
‘Let’s put it this way: we are all human beings, with our difficulties, and I am trying to deal with mine’.
Robbie first spoke about his mother’s diagnosis after revealing how his biopic Better Man depicts his loving relationship with his late grandmother who has d3mentia in the film.

When asked about his parents thoughts on the film, Robbie told HELLO! ‘My mum’s currently got d3mentia – like my nan in the film – and my dad’s got Parkinsons and can’t get out of bed. So I’m in a different part of my life right now.’
Back in 2020 Robbie revealed his father Pete had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s, admitting at the time that he was fighting ‘fear and panic’ over his father’s diagnosis.
He told The Mirror that receiving the diagnosis during Covid made things extra difficult as he and his wife Ayda and their children were self-isolating thousands of miles away from his parents in Los Angeles.
Robbie’s parents split in 1977. The pair also share daughter Sally, who is 11 years Robbie’s senior.
