Although they are now happily married with three children, Vogue admits her first impressions of husband Made in Chelsea star Spencer Matthews weren't great, believing she wasn't going to like him
Vogue Williams and Spencer Matthews almost didn't get together, after she had already made up her mind about him before she met him, believing he was a "sociopath". The mum-of-three admitted she had a "preconceived idea" about her now-husband, and was certain she wasn't going to like him.
Of course, after meeting Made in Chelsea star Spencer, 36, she realised he was 'the one', but before that, Vogue, 39, had been enjoying the single life. Thankfully for Spencer, he made it out of the friend zone, and the couple married on Spencer's millionaire family's 10,000-acre Scottish estate in 2018.
‌
Vogue stunned her guests and fans in her off-white silk V-neck gown, a bespoke design by Paul Costello. Her groom Spencer wore a three-piece midnight-blue suit made by esteemed Mayfair tailor Tony Lutwyche.
‌
They now share three children: Theodore, six, Gigi, four, and three-year-old Otto. They welcomed their youngest in April 2022, and Vogue was pregnant with Theodore on their wedding day.
In a new interview with the Sun, Vogue revealed her first impressions of the dad of her kids, confessing: "I kind of met him with a preconceived idea, and I was like, 'I'm not going to like him' because I thought he was a sociopath."
Vogue soon changed her mind, adding: "But after I met him, I loved his personality straight away . . . he was so sound, but I was being really good at being single and I wanted to stay ­single, so I thought, 'He's going to be a really good friend' — that's the first thing I thought."
The model and media personality had been single since ending her first marriage, which was to Westlife's Brian McFadden. But she knew from the start he wasn't "marriage material". In her new memoir, Vogue said she knew it was a "mistake" on the morning of her wedding.
She wrote: "The morning of the wedding I felt very stressed and so anxious because deep down I knew I had made a mistake. After the wedding I tried to make things work.'
‌
Vogue added: "The relationship wasn't all terrible, we did have some great times too, and for the most part, he was good fun to be around. But he was not husband material.
"It was me who called it in the end. I couldn't keep trying, it felt pointless… I'm not here to throw anyone under the bus, but there are things that went on in our relationship that will never be forgiven."
‌
Although she went on to enjoy the single life, she initially felt lost after she divorced the Westlife singer, who she was married to from 2012 to 2017. Speaking to Bryony Gordon on the The Life of Bryony podcast, she explained: I remember being divorced at 31 and thinking, I've ruined my life.
"I am never going to have kids, I am never going to do what I always wanted to do. Then you see how your life actually starts to unfold – that's why it feels exciting to move into your forties.'
