Selma Blair, the acclaimed 52-year-old actress, recently shared a light-hearted story on The Drew Barrymore Show about a date that took an unexpected turn. The actress revealed her humorous encounter with Robbie Williams, the renowned singer-songwriter and former member of the British boy band Take That. During their date, Williams stopped by Blair's kitchen only to find it completely void of food. This discovery led to a rather abrupt end to the evening, leaving Blair with memories and a good-natured perspective on the incident.
Blair, known for her roles in films such as "Cruel Intentions" and "Legally Blonde," admitted that her refrigerator was likely empty at the time. She quipped that it probably contained nothing more than a bottle of champagne and a Fig Newton from a year prior. Despite this oversight, she playfully applauded Williams' decision to end the date, acknowledging his need for a "tummy filled from his woman."

Robbie Williams, who has since married actress Ayda Field in 2010, is now a father of four. His decision to cut the date short perhaps reflected his pragmatic nature, as Blair humorously suggested during her television appearance.
"Oh, your kitchen was empty and he knew you don't cook, so that wasn't gonna work for him."
Blair's life has evolved in many ways since that amusing date. She is now a devoted mother to her son, Arthur Saint Bleick, whom she shares with ex-partner Jason Bleick. Despite her past experiences and uncertainties about romance, Blair remains optimistic about finding someone special.
Beyond her personal life, Blair continues to make strides in her professional career. In August 2022, she joined Entertainment Weekly as a news writer, further expanding her repertoire. Her contributions span across music, fandom, film, television, and awards for multiple outlets, showcasing her versatile writing skills. Moreover, Blair proudly holds an alumni status from Kingston University.
