Furious Vogue Matthews breaks silence on split rumours with husband Spencer
VOGUE Williams has let out her fury after speculation she’s split with husband Spencer Matthews.
The model and TV presenter’s emotion was clear as she blasted the suggestions the pair’s seven year marriage has come to an end – insisting they are instead “happily married and in love.”
It came after Vogue, 39, said she’d “had enough” after rumours of struggles at home.
Now the mum of three has taken to Instagram to set the record straight.
In a fiery rant posted alongside a carousel of images showing the pair in happy times, she wrote: “It’s with great sadness that I have to let you know that Spen and I are NOT breaking up!
“I usually avoid addressing baseless and cruel rumours but this just keeps coming up.”
She told how rumours of a marriage breakdown are “absolutely not true and much more importantly I don’t want my children hearing these lies in the playground.”
The pair share kids Theodore, aged six, Gigi, aged four, and youngest Otto, aged two.
She added: “We’re not sure what the angle is or where it’s coming from but the whole thing feels very strange and mean.
“We’re very happily married and in love and I hope posting the truth on my own platform might make it stop.”
Spencer, 36, then made light of the situation as he added some of the speculation was “quite funny to be fair.”
It comes after speculation the pair were trying to avoid the seven-year itch.
It also follows Spencer’s reveal that he will not be leaving his fortune to their kids over nepotism fears.
MUM LIFE
Vogue, who often presents the fashion segment on ITV daytime show Lorraine, recently opened up on her home life.
Speaking on the Netmums podcast with Wendy Golledge and Alison Perry, Vogue told of the mother load and how she pulls most of the weight at home.
She said on the podcast: “In the nicest way possible, I would say I fix the broken radiator and I do the school run.
Chef Thomas Straker opens up on joining Spencer Matthews in the desert...
Thomas's role in the desert challenge stemmed from a conversation he had with Spencer in his Notting Hill restaurant Straker's earlier this year. Intrigued by the adventure as well as the charitable intent, Thomas travelled to Jordan for the 22nd leg of the challenge and his marathon was documented on Spencer's Instagram. Here, Thomas tells us about his experience:
“The man’s an animal.
“I mean, he was in good form. I wasn’t apprehensive. I could see he had a good team around him, they all seemed to have a nice rapport. They’d been together for three weeks, you know, without seeing anyone else.
“I was very conscious that I had to go in there with good energy and be like a breath of fresh air in the camp. You know, I wasn’t sure what to expect and it’s a life experience; I’m very open to that sort of stuff. We slept underneath the stars on these little mats; the Bedouin chaps were cooking us dinner.
“It’s a surreal experience, you know, it’s like me sleeping out in the desert. Good headspace, no phone signal, perfect. Looking back on it, that experience was so, so amazing. As well as the running was great
“It was tough, man. Running on the sands, not easy.
“Sometimes it felt like you’re treading water. I’d only been doing 5Ks in London, like I was just chilling, you know. I’ve been just like not overly stretching myself.
“I didn’t do any training, to be honest. I’ve got this run club in London, so I was doing like a 5K on a Tuesday and maybe a couple more 5Ks, just keeping it nice and light.
“I’m quite full on with work at the moment, so I didn’t want to exhaust myself. But I knew I had it in me mentally. I’ve done a few marathons now and I know what it takes, but it’s obviously much more difficult in the heat.
“They were like, ‘oh, you know, if you get tired, you can just sit in the van for like the next 10K if you want’. I was like, f**k that, man. I’m here to run.
“I’ve always thought about doing something cool or different. It’s not cheap to do it, firstly. It takes time.
“Time is at a premium at the moment for me, especially. And then with all the new businesses and stuff going on, I just have to be there. Meeting someone like Chris Taylor, who put the trip together for Spencer, that’s the kind of person who you need. Those are the kind of people you need to meet, to be like, ‘right, what can I do?’
“Being a chef working in London all my career, 16 years now, sometimes you feel like you’re sheltered and you want to get out of your comfort zone.”
“I would say I do 80 percent of what [goes on].
“We’ve actually been having a slight little tiff about that this morning, about the stuff that I do”.
Vogue then laughed and said: “I’ve had enough today.”
The Irish podcast host recently sold her stylish London pad for £4.7million.
It came after Spencer quit the podcast they hosted together – with her sister Amber Wilson now in the hotseat.
The couple hosted Spencer and Vogue since 2020, and it won over an army of fans as they talk about life in the Matthews’ household.
Revealing the news, Spencer – who has discovered a passion for endurance feat challenges and ultra marathons – told his listeners: “I’m moving on from this podcast to pursue other business interests and focus on my upcoming challenge.”
