"Shut the 'eff up. Babe can you stop singing Frozen," his wife, 35-year-old American actor Ayda Field, said through gritted teeth as she breathed through one of her final contractions before their son was born on Tuesday.
Instead of offering his wife ice chips and working through a birth plan, the former Take That singer chose to shoot a number of entertaining YouTube videos and publish photos direct from the birthing suite.
Early on Field, who arrived at hospital wearing a pair of towering Christian Louboutin stilettos, was in good spirits dancing to Iggy Azelea's Fancy, pacing the corridors and offering Williams support when he was feeling faint.
However medical professionals then had to break-up the dance party atmosphere by breaking her waters.
"We're going to break the bag of water. There's going to be a lot of thunder and lightning," the doctor said.
"Will any of it go over my gown?" Williams asked as Field writhed in agony.
After nine hours, he sent a message to his fans to let everyone know everything was travelling smoothly.
"I know you're really worried and thinking about what's going on and I need you to know I'm doing great," he said.
Luckily the Let Me Entertain You singer was comfortable for the marathon birth.
"What were you saying?" Field asked him after a receiving an epidural.
"I think I made the right decision with these pants because the other ones really dug into my belly. They're really comfy," he said.
They then filmed a thank you video once their 8-pound bundle of joy was safely delivered.
"I've never been more in love and never been more proud of my wife, she's been absolutely astonishing," he said.
"We're really happy and honoured that you experienced the journey with us. We started off with the idea of the shoes and then it just snowballed, of course, everything we've done was a bit of a laugh. I hope we made you laugh in the process."
"I'm still slightly drugged," Field said.
The couple, who married in 2010 in Los Angeles, have a two-year-old daughter, Theodora 'Teddy' Rose.
Williams, who has overcome drug and alcohol addiction and credits Field to his recovery, proposed in Sydney during a live radio interview with Kyle Sandilands and Jackie 'O' Henderson in 2009, which he claimed was a joke at the time.
