The Take That star wants a statue of actress Ayda Field for the garden of his Mulholland Drive home in Los Angeles and has even made plans to follow it up with sculptures of the couple`s beloved dogs.
A source told the Sun newspaper: "Robbie likes the idea of a tour of his gardens telling the story of his life since moving to LA. Ayda is a big part of that, along with his reunion with the band. It`s a wacky idea but, knowing Rob, will be something he gets stuck into. He`s even thinking of having copies of their dogs made. Some people have garden gnomes, Robbie wants copies of his real life family."
Robbie isn`t the only member of Take That to splash out on expensive art.
Mark Owen has reportedly spent £20,000 on a painting by a British artist to celebrate his 40th birthday.
The source added: "Mark bought a painting by a London street artist called Bambi. It`s of an 80-year-old woman called Mrs Welsh, who is a character in a trendy part of London. Mark is really into urban art and has some other pieces from top UK talent. He`s become a serious collector."
