Vogue Williams, who is now married to Made in Chelsea’s Spencer Matthews, has spoken about her first marriage to former Westlife singer Brian McFadden on occasion
Presenter Vogue Williams has spoken about her divorce from Brian McFadden. She’s opened up about the aftermath of their separation whilst reflecting on her growth as she approaches her milestone 40th birthday this year.
Vogue, now 39, was married to former Westlife member Brian, now 45, from 2012 to 2017, though their separation was announced two years prior. She has since spoken about her ex-husband on occasion, including having written about their marriage in her new autobiography Big Mouth.
She spoke about him again whilst a guest on a podcast in an episode released last month. Vogue told host Bryony Gordon that she thought she had “ruined” her life by getting divorced from Brian at the age of 31.
Speaking about her fortieth birthday later this year, Vogue said: “I think I’m excited about it because remember like … remember being liked 19 or 20, you think that 40 year olds were just really old and battered, but then when you actually get to it, you’re like ‘this is a really nice moment’.”
She continued on the Life of Bryony podcast: “I think in your thirties, you’re trying to figure stuff out a little bit more. Because I remember … I was divorced at 31. I was like ‘basically that’s it I’ve ruined my life. I’m never gonna have kids. I’m never gonna do what I always wanted to do’.”
Vogue, who now has three children with her husband Spencer Matthews, whom she married in 2018, added: “And then you see how your life actually starts to unfold, and that’s why I think it’s exciting to move into your forties.”
Elsewhere on the podcast, Vogue said that she considers herself to have been “too young” to get married to Brian, having been 26 at the time. She told Bryony that she “wasn’t mature enough” then but was “in love” with the singer.
In an interview published last month, Vogue told the Times when she thought the marriage was at risk. She said: “Maybe not long after we got married. Probably just before. I knew that it probably wasn’t the greatest of relationships, but I was very young.”
She suggested that it’s “hard to admit defeat” in any relationship and told the outlet that she found it “embarrassing” at the time. She said that it was “such a big failure” and noted that her separation from Brian was “very public”.
Vogue added that she found it “mortifying” to be divorced in her early thirties and that it was far from where she had hoped that she would be at that age. She said that she had wanted to be married with kids at 30, “not divorced and single”.
Years later though, she’s now married to former Made in Chelsea cast member Spencer, with whom she shares three children. The couple celebrated their seventh wedding anniversary yesterday after tying the knot back in 2018.
Reflecting on the milestone, Vogue wrote in a post joint post with her husband on Instagram last night: “7 years married today. 3 kids, two dogs and a whole lot of fun.”
