Vogue Williams initially decided husband Spencer Matthews was “not for her” after they met whilst filming a reality television<\/a> programme. The Irish presenter was preparing to compete on Channel 4’s The Jump when she encountered Spencer in 2017.<\/a><\/p>\n

This came shortly after the Irish podcaster’s separation from Westlife<\/a> star Brian McFadden<\/a>. Vogue reveals former Made in Chelsea<\/a> star Spencer had a girlfriend at the time and “didn’t seem in very chatty form” when they first crossed paths.<\/p>\n

Had Spencer been available, she worried a relationship wouldn’t “have gone very well” regardless because he “was yet to form a serious bone in his body” whilst Vogue often found herself “getting serious quickly”.<\/a><\/p>\n

However, Vogue says the pair “got on famously” after Spencer turned up wearing tracksuit bottoms, slippers, and “reeking of booze”.<\/p>\n

In her book, Big Mouth, Vogue writes: “I had done a lot of work with my therapist up to this point; we had decided that if I continue to fall for guys I felt I needed to fix or help I was just repeating a pattern and that it always ended the same way (disastrously).<\/p>\n

“Spencer, being a man made of red flags, was not for me I decided, and I didn’t really fancy him anyway so it was all good. I did, however, love his personality.”<\/p>\n

Vogue reveals her mates “really wanted me to sleep with Spencer”. And whilst she told them it “wasn’t on the cards,” she insisted he would become a “permanent member of their friendship group”.<\/p>\n

Spencer and Vogue’s love story began to unfold, leading to their engagement in January 2018 during a trip to see the Lion King in London’s West End.<\/p>\n

They tied the knot in June 2018 at the Glen Affric estate in Scotland, a property owned by Spencer’s family.<\/p>\n

The couple are now proud parents to three children – Theodore, Gigi and Otto. Vogue has candidly confessed that she would have “swiped past” Spencer if they’d encountered each other on a dating app.<\/p>\n

She shared this insight during an episode of Vogue and Amber, while offering advice to a listener struggling with online dating. Vogue noted: “You’re just judging someone completely on the way they look.<\/p>\n

“And I always say this, Spencer is obviously gorgeous, but he wouldn’t have been my type when we met. And I would have swiped past him on a dating app.<\/p>\n

“And then we met, and we were mad about each other because we just loved each other’s personalities. So, I think trying to meet somebody in real life, although it can be hard, can be a really amazing thing.”<\/p>\n

Vogue has recently embarked on her own adventure in the I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! jungle. This comes nine years after Spencer’s brief stint on the show, where he withdrew after just five days into the competition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Vogue Williams has opened up about her first meeting with husband Spencer Matthews, admitting she didn’t think he…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":191956,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[75],"tags":[18,117,19,17,6638],"class_list":{"0":"post-191955","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-eire","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-ireland","12":"tag-vogue-williams"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ie\/115585796311581846","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191955","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=191955"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191955\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/191956"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=191955"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=191955"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=191955"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
