There’s something refreshing about a carefree beach day, especially when it’s shared with your family—and Vogue Williams and Spencer Matthews were clearly soaking up every second of it during their sun-soaked escape to Spain.
The loved-up couple didn’t just enjoy the warmth of the Mediterranean sun; they shared some sweet family moments that captured exactly what summer holidays are made for.
Stylish and Smiling on the Sand
Vogue, always known for her effortless fashion, rocked a sleek black two-piece that showed off her fit physique.
Keeping things casual but stylish, she topped off her look with black Fendi sunglasses and a matching cap.
Spencer, not one to be left out, flaunted his toned torso in a pair of eye-catching white shorts adorned with lion prints.
Together, they looked completely in sync as they relaxed beneath a beach umbrella.
Sweet Moments With Their Youngest
It wasn’t just about relaxing though—family bonding was clearly on the agenda.
One heartwarming moment saw Vogue playfully lift their youngest son, Otto, with her legs as he giggled in delight.
It was the kind of interaction that screams pure joy, and a perfect snapshot of a mum making the most of quality time with her kids.
Navigating the Pressures of Motherhood
This peaceful family time comes on the heels of Vogue opening up about the emotional rollercoaster of motherhood.
On The Life of Bryony podcast, she candidly discussed the ‘mum guilt’ that often creeps in when she’s away working.
“I suffer from mum guilt all the time,” she admitted.
Whether she’s busy on set or spending time with one child more than the others, Vogue says the internal pressure never really fades.
The Struggle to Balance It All
Like many mothers, Vogue confessed to feeling torn between being present at home and fulfilling her career responsibilities.
She explained how her older kids, Theodore and Gigi, tend to get more of her time since she often takes them on outings, leaving her making intentional efforts to bond one-on-one with Otto.
“I think as women, we put so much pressure on ourselves to do and be everything,” she said.
“But realistically, you can’t do it all.”
A Generational Burden?
Podcast host Bryony Gordon weighed in, suggesting that this relentless drive might be rooted in how women of their generation were raised—to believe they could and should “have it all.”
Bryony pointed out how these kinds of expectations aren’t typically placed on men.
“No one is asking dads if they can have it all,” she noted.
Vogue chimed in with humor, laughing about the reality of life as a working mum.
“I have 364 unread WhatsApps—it’s terrible!”
Spencer’s Journey to a Healthier Life
While Vogue opened up about the emotional weight of parenthood, Spencer’s story took a different turn—one of personal transformation.
Known for his party boy image during his Made in Chelsea days, Spencer has since turned over a new leaf.
He overcame battles with alcohol and steroid use—issues that once got him kicked off I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! in 2015.
Today, Spencer is the proud founder and Chief Business Officer of CleanCo, a non-alcoholic spirits brand he launched after the birth of their eldest child.
His journey to sobriety not only transformed his health, but also reshaped his identity as a father and entrepreneur.
A Life Once Thought to Be Over
In another vulnerable moment on the podcast, Vogue spoke about a darker chapter in her life—her 2017 divorce from Westlife singer Brian McFadden.
She recalled the emotional toll of ending a marriage at just 31, believing at the time that her dreams of having children and building a happy home were over.
“I remember being divorced at 31 and thinking, I’ve ruined my life,” she said.
Embracing Her Forties With Gratitude
Now, approaching 40, Vogue sees life through a completely different lens.
Far from being “old and battered,” as she once feared, she’s stepping into her forties with confidence, clarity, and a renewed sense of joy.
“It’s a really nice moment,” she reflected.
“You think your life is over at 31, but then you see how beautifully it can all unfold.”
