Toyah Willcox says she was ‘negotiating’ monogamy during marriage to Robert Fripp
‘When we first got together there was a tsunami of women trying to claim him,’ Willcox said
Toyah Willcox has opened up about the early years of her marriage with Robert Fripp in a new interview.
Willcox, 64, and Fripp, 76, got married in 1986, and recently reflected on their nearly 40-year relationship.
Speaking to The Times, Willcox said Fripp proposed to her within a week of their second meeting in 1985, with the couple tying the knot on the King Crimson guitarist’s 40th birthday.
Willcox added she had to explain her “version of monogamy” to him, referring to the “tsunami of women trying to claim” Fripp.
“When we first got together there was a tsunami of women trying to claim him. It was breathtaking. I got very bored of the number of people who felt they had to tell me they’d slept with him,” she explained. “I was, like, ‘Go f*** yourself.’”

Watch Toyah Willcox, Robert Fripp Cover Limp Bizkit’s ‘Nookie’ for ‘Sunday Lunch’
Video is the latest in a series from the King Crimson guitarist and his wife
Toyah Willcox and Robert Fripp will, apparently, do it all for the nookie. The pair covered the quintessential 1999 Limp Bizkit song “Nookie” for their popular YouTube cover series “Sunday Lunch.”
In the video, the King Crimson guitarist, wearing a sequined baseball cap, takes on guitar duties while Willcox rocks out on the vocals. As usual, the pair filmed the clip in their kitchen, using a fan to create a dramatic wind machine effect on Willcox’s hair.
