Vogue Williams has revealed she prefers to maintain a 'separate life' from her husband Spencer Matthews. The 40-year-old Irish podcast presenter made the admission while speaking at Meta's headquarters in Dublin, recounting an incident where her husband irritated her during plans with her friend Joanne McNally.
Williams, who met Matthews while filming Channel 4's The Jump in 2017, initially admitted she 'didn't fancy' him and thought he 'wasn't for her'. Despite her reservations, romance blossomed, and Matthews proposed in January 2018 during a trip to see The Lion King in London. The couple married that June at the Matthews family's Scottish estate, Glen Affric.
Discussing her dynamic with Matthews, Williams said: 'I try to, I like to have a separate life as well. Spenny, he has his friends and I have my friends.' She explained that she was 'in a huff' with Matthews after he interrupted a walk with McNally, insisting on going to lunch while McNally wanted to go home.
In her autobiography Big Mouth, Williams confessed she worried a romance with Matthews wouldn't 'have gone very well' because he 'was yet to form a serious bone in his body'. However, the pair 'got on famously' after Matthews arrived at The Jump in tracksuit bottoms and slippers, 'reeking of booze'. Williams wrote that she had done therapy work to avoid falling for men she felt she needed to fix, and decided Matthews, 'a man made of red flags', was not for her—though she loved his personality.
The couple now share three children: Theodore, Gigi, and Otto. Williams has previously said she would have 'swiped past' Matthews on a dating app, adding that meeting in person allowed them to fall for each other's personalities.
