LONDON - British singer Robbie Williams said on Saturday he was not engaged to his girlfriend, Ayda Field -- despite "proposing" to her a day earlier.
The pop star popped the question to Field, 30, live on Australian radio on Friday, only for his London-based spokesman to say it was a joke and deny they were engaged.
Adding to the confusion, Williams' mother Jan later told British radio that her 35-year-old son intended to marry Field "in the not-too-distant future."
On his website, Williams posted a brief blog under the headline "Robbie And Ayda: Are They Or Aren't They?"
It read: "Hey all. We are not engaged. rob x"
One of Europe's most successful entertainers, Williams rose to fame as a member of the hit boy band Take That before forging a successful solo career.
The singer, who now lives in Los Angeles, has been out of the public eye since he left a U.S. rehabilitation center in March 2007 where he was treated for prescription drug addiction.
His new album "Reality Killed the Video Star" is his first release in three years.
