Made In Chelsea Stars Announce Pregnancies in Awkwardly Timed Social Media Posts
In a striking coincidence that has captivated fans, two former Made In Chelsea stars announced they are expecting new additions to their families within minutes of each other on Thursday evening. The announcements, however, were overshadowed by the awkward history between the individuals involved.
Lucy Watson's Carefully Planned Pregnancy Reveal
Lucy Watson, a well-known figure from the E4 reality series, shared her joyous news through a meticulously planned social media post. The announcement was not merely a personal milestone but also involved a brand partnership with Clearblue, featuring a professional photoshoot that showcased her blossoming baby bump.
She captioned the sweet selection of snaps with: 'our family is growing. AD nothing prepares you for seeing that word, thank you to @clearblue for giving us that moment of clarity.' This marks the second child for Lucy and her husband, fellow Made In Chelsea star James Dunmore, following the birth of their son Willoughby in 2024.
Spencer Matthews and Vogue Williams' Simultaneous Announcement
Almost immediately after Lucy's post went live, her ex-boyfriend Spencer Matthews and his wife, model and DJ Vogue Williams, made their own pregnancy announcement. The couple shared a beaming beach photo from St Barts, simply captioned: 'BABY NUMBER 4 INCOMING… ❤️❤️'
Spencer and Vogue, who met on Channel 4's The Jump in 2018, already share three children: Theodore (7), Gigi (5), and Otto (3). Their joint post, while celebratory, arrived at a moment that many observers found uncomfortably timed given Spencer's past with Lucy.
The Tumultuous History Behind the Timing
The coincidence is particularly poignant due to Lucy and Spencer's well-documented romantic history. The pair had a brief but intense romance during the 2013 series of Made In Chelsea, which ended dramatically when Spencer confessed to cheating on Lucy during a holiday in Greece.
Their breakup played out publicly on screen after fans alerted Lucy via Twitter that they had seen Spencer leaving a club with another woman. The betrayal left a lasting impact on Lucy, who told the Daily Mail two years later that she had not had another boyfriend since, stating: 'Since Spencer, I've been more cautious about who I let into my life. I'm still young and I'm so busy with my job that I don't want to invest time in someone if I don't think they are right for me.'
Moving On: New Relationships and Families
Lucy eventually found love with James Dunmore, whom she met on Made In Chelsea in 2015. The couple tied the knot in a stunning Greek ceremony six years later, before welcoming their first child. Spencer, meanwhile, has built a family with Vogue Williams, though their marriage has not been without public scrutiny.
Recent months saw the couple subject to split rumours after they failed to publicly mark their seventh wedding anniversary in June. Spencer also stepped down from their joint podcast, Spencer & Vogue, to focus on his own project, Untapped, fueling further speculation.
Vogue Williams Addresses Rumours and Reaffirms Happiness
Vogue has been vocal in dismissing these rumours, insisting that their marriage remains strong and happy. In a recent interview with The Sun, she expressed frustration at the persistent gossip, particularly worrying about its impact on their children.
She recalled: 'When he left our podcast, everyone was like, "What's going on?"' Vogue also admitted to concerns about their children hearing 'baseless and cruel' gossip at school, having previously addressed the claims directly on Instagram to set the record straight.
In her Instagram post, she stated: '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. It’s disappointing to see this narrative being pushed almost daily when it’s absolutely not true, and much more importantly, I don’t want my children hearing these lies in the playground.'
Despite her efforts, Vogue noted that the rumours persisted, telling The Sun: 'Of course not! I’ll probably not bother next time.'
A Moment of Joy Overshadowed by Past Drama
While both pregnancy announcements are undoubtedly happy news for the families involved, the timing has inevitably stirred memories of past conflicts and betrayals. For fans of Made In Chelsea, the simultaneous reveals serve as a reminder of the show's dramatic legacy and the complex interpersonal relationships that continue to unfold off-screen.
The events highlight how, in the world of celebrity and reality television, even the most personal milestones can become intertwined with public narratives and historical tensions.
