Singer Robbie Williams was seen mingling with Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi at the weekend, with the trio enjoying a pub outing in the Cotswolds.
They were spotted looking happy and relaxed at The Bull Charlbury which has been around since the 1500s and has previously been frequented by the likes of Princess Beatrice and her sister, Princess Eugenie.
An onlooker told HELLO! that they saw the trio at a table in the pub’s leafy garden. At one point, Robbie, 51, and Ellen, 67, “looked to be having a deep conversation,” while Ellen’s wife, Portia, 52, could be seen partaking in a nearby chat.
For their pub outing, Robbie was dressed in a sky-blue tracksuit top while Ellen rocked a quilted slate grey jacket, and Portia looked super stylish in a roll neck top and a caramel-hued jacket.
She had her platinum blonde locks swept over to one side in a playful hairdo.

The best life” and a third penned: “So happy you guys are loving it here.”
