They were once the best of friends
Now for the first time, Jamie, whose wife Sophie Habboo is pregnant with their first child, has directly address the rumours by giving a telling clue that something HAS happened to make them fallout.
There are suggestions of a rift over Jamie forgetting to invite Spencer to his first wedding to Sophie Habboo and then allegations he behaved badly at the couple's second wedding.
It's also been rumoured there's been rivalry between the pair since Jamie took on a Comic Relief Ultra Marathon - after Spencer ran 30 marathons in 30 days across the Jordanian desert.
In an interview with You Magazine, Jamie said: "Look, what can I say? I love Spencer, I really love him so much, and I don't think he'd mind me saying this…
"Spencer's a hard person to be friends with.
"We were thick as thieves for a long time, but I think what happens is family and life.
"From my side, I have no jealousy towards him whatsoever.
"I only love and adore him more than anything in the entire world.
"I still consider him one of my closest friends and I'm godfather to his daughter.
"But, yeah… I mean… you would have to ask him."
"I adore him, but you have to ask him what he feels."
Despite the spiel, Jamie failed to directly shut down the accusation they're feuding.
Spencer addressed speculation over his absence from Jamie's first wedding in 2023 - revealing he hadn't been invited.
While Spencer had attended the pair's June wedding in Spain, he wasn't present at the legal ceremony in London two months prior and was seen on holiday in Portugal with his family instead.

When fans expressed their shock that he had chosen to go overseas instead, he used his podcast with wife Vogue to set the record straight, admitting he was "p***ed off".
He said: "I'm being hammered for 'snubbing' my best friend's wedding to go on holiday, and then posting about my holiday.
"I'm not here to b***h about my best friends but there's been some serious miscommunication from him.
He continued: "I just want to set the record straight, more than anything. I'm not here to whinge.
"I was not invited to this part of Jamie's wedding, and neither was Vogue."
The former reality TV stars have been best pals since they were 15 before joining E4's hit Made in Chelsea show in the second series in 2011.

Bristol The city's engineering legacy is front and centre at the Clifton Suspension Bridge and Brunel's SS Great Britain. Bristol's Ashton Gate Stadium, home to Bristol Bears and Bristol City FC, is set to host both semi-finals and two quarter finals – and has already made history with England's highest attended women's rugby game outside of London.

Top Tip: Organisers are anticipating that the Women's Rugby World Cup 2025 final could sell out Twickenham Stadium and surpass England's record for the highest attended women's rugby game. If you do miss out on a ticket, you can still soak up the sporting atmosphere at one of Twickenham's rugby pubs, such as The Barmy Arms or The Cabbage Patch, which always come alive with fans on match days. 8 Twickenham Stadium is likely to sell out, but there is lots going on elsewhere Credit: Alamy Salford, Greater Manchester Manchester is no stranger to ball sports, but it's rugby that's set to shine in the city this summer with the Salford Community Stadium hosting four Women's Rugby World Cup fixtures.

The celebrations continue at Keel Square for the next two days with live entertainment, interactive games, food, drink and big screens. They'll also be plenty of community events taking place locally, including touch rugby festivals on nearby beaches. 8 Sunderland will host the games at the Stadium of Light Credit: Alamy York One of the tournament's newest venues, the York Community Stadium previously hosted the Women's Rugby League World Cup in 2021 and this year will have six matches taking place during the tournament. York is a city layered with history – visit the 7th Century York Minster, uncover Norse heritage at the Jorvik Viking Centre or brave the thrills of York Dungeon. For something more modern, enjoy food and drink at creative community venue SPARK* or join a craft beer tasting tour at Brew York. Top Tip: The Red Roses' captain is North Yorkshire-born Zoe Aldcroft, who hails from Scarborough and started playing at her local rugby club aged eight. It takes under an hour to reach Scarborough from York by train, and the coastal town (touted to be England's first seaside resort) offers rich heritage, outdoor adventures and plenty of water sports – perfect for a breezy break away from the pitch.

Vogue Williams claims Spencer Matthews was 'not happy' after insulting comment
Model and podcaster Vogue Williams has opened up about her marriage to former Made in Chelsea star Spencer Matthews, and how he was left seething after she made a dig about his artwork Podcaster Vogue Williams has revealed how her other half, Spencer Matthews, was left rather miffed when she publicly dissed one of his treasured artworks. Since launching their 'Spencer and Vogue' podcast, the married couple have been dishing out episodes weekly, giving fans a peek into their hectic family life and fielding queries from their audience. But earlier this year, Spencer surprised listeners by announcing his departure from the show to chase new ventures. It was later disclosed that the podcast would carry on with Vogue's elder sister Amber stepping in to fill Spencer's shoes. In her freshly published memoir 'Big Mouth', Vogue reminisces about her podcasting days with the ex-'Made in Chelsea' heartthrob and shared why he was "not happy" following a particular remark she made on air. Revealing the cause of the upset, she wrote: "He was especially not happy when I slagged the onion painting he did when he was sixteen years old," reports the Irish Mirror. Despite confessing that Spencer had his fair share of "thrown a few epic wobblers", she insists their spats are just like those of any other married couple: "Every so often he would threaten to quit, but these are the usual conflicts and dramas of a married couple." Not long after bowing out from their shared podcast, Spencer was back behind the microphone with his fresh solo venture, 'Untapped'. Launched earlier this year, the podcast features the former reality TV star engaging in conversations with sporting icons such as Mo Farah, Ulrika Jonsson and Ben Stokes, delving into the secrets behind their remarkable successes. Reflecting on the couple's early days, it was eight years ago when they first met while participating in the Channel 4 programme The Jump in 2017. Just a few months later, they said their "I dos", in the company of celebrity guests including Jamie Laing. The duo pledged their love for each other against the breathtaking backdrop of Spencer's parents' exquisite Glen Affric Estate in the Scottish Highlands. Since then, the couple have embarked on their journey as parents, welcoming their first child, Theodore, followed by daughter Gigi and youngest son Otto.

Vogue Williams flaunts her toned physique in a skimpy bikini as she joins her ripped husband Spencer Matthews on holiday in Spain
Vogue Williams flaunted her toned physique in a skimpy bikini as she joined her husband Spencer Matthews on holiday in Spain on Monday. The Irish presenter, 39, slipped into the green two-piece as she took a dip in the Mediterranean sea. She accessorised her beach ensemble as she kept a low profile with a pair of cream Celine sunglasses and a cream cap. To finish her look, Vogue wore a chunky gold necklace, gold earrings, a myriad of silver bracelets and matching silver rings. Meanwhile, Spencer showcased his washboard abs as he splashed in the sea wearing a pair of blue shorts. The former Made in Chelsea star and his model-turned-presenter wife looked happier than ever as they were spotted swimming in the sea. The Irish presenter, 39, slipped into the green two-piece as she took a dip in the Mediterranean sea As they made their way back from the beach, Vogue was seen picking up a shell buried in the sand. The holiday comes after Vogue revealed in May that she often feels 'mum guilt' when she is away from her children working. Speaking on The Life of Bryony podcast, she said that like many mums, she has put pressure on herself to 'do and be everything'. 'I suffer from mum guilt all the time', Vogue admitted. 'I feel guilty when I am working, and I feel guilty when I am with my kids. I worry when I spend more time with one of them and not the others. 'I spend a lot of time with Theodore and Gigi because I take them places – so I have to create time to spend with Otto on his own. 'I think as women we put so much pressure on ourselves to be able to do and be everything. Going out there and working should be great for your children to see. 'Whether you're a working mum or staying at home, I think you're always going to feel some level of guilt. The former Made in Chelsea star and his model-turned-presenter wife looked happier than ever as they were spotted swimming in the sea The holiday comes after Vogue revealed in May that she often feels 'mum guilt' when she is away from her children working 'When realistically, you can't do it all.' Speculating about why Vogue was putting so much pressure on herself as a parent, host Bryony Gordon, 45, admitted that her attitude may reflect the beliefs of a generation. She said: 'Women of our generation were brought up with that notion – that you can have it all. 'Even the question itself – you see these high-profile women always get asked that question. No one is asking that question of men. 'I don't want to have it all – I don't need to be everything to everyone.' 'Everyone just has to accept that sometimes, laundry is a nightmare, and we might forget to reply to an email or several.'
