Spencer and Vogue ‘blessed’ with baby boy
Model has first child in London hospital
VOGUE Williams and her reality TV star husband Spencer Matthews are celebrating the birth of their first child – a boy.
The Irish presenter and DJ, 32, took to Instagram yesterday to announce the infant’s arrival in a London hospital in the early hours of yesterday morning.
Sharing a photo of the baby’s legs on social media, she wrote: ‘This morning at 3:55am, we welcomed our son into a quiet London hospital… He is beautiful and healthy. We feel truly blessed.’
Spencer also took to social media to gush about his wife and baby, sharing a black-and-white picture of the new father holding his son’s hand.
‘He is beautiful and healthy. We are truly blessed,’ the Made In Chelsea star wrote, adding that he ‘couldn’t be more proud’ of his wife. The pair received wave after wave of congratulatory messages from Irish celebrities, including former Miss World Rosanna Davison, actress Aoibhin Garrihy, Erin McGregor and blogger Pippa O’Connor.
‘OMG huge congratulations to you both – can’t wait to see the handsome man,’ Xposé host and mother-to-be Glenda Gilson wrote in response to Vogue’s social media announcement.
TV presenter Angela Scanlon, who gave birth to baby Ruby in March, added: ‘Brilliant news. Congratulations. Enjoy every single minute.’
A number of celebs in the UK were also among the well-wishers, including presenter Ferne McCann, Ireland’s Got Talent judge Denise Van Outen and The Saturdays star Frankie Bridge.
Less than two days before giving birth, Vogue shared a snap on her Instagram stories as she attended

a medical check-up after passing her due date.
The couple announced their pregnancy in Hello! Magazine in March, with Vogue accidentally revealing on RTÉ’s The Cutting Edge that she was having a boy.
The former Fade Street star was also very open throughout her pregnancy about the online hate she was facing due to her health regime. ‘If I put a training video up (online) I could have 20 messages saying, “You shouldn’t be doing this. You shouldn’t be training like that”,’ she told RTÉ.
‘It’s healthy to train during your pregnancy, particularly for me, because I trained the whole way before [becoming pregnant].’ After meeting on TV programme The Jump in early 2017, Matthews popped the question at a production of The Lion King less than 12 months later.
The pair initially kept tightlipped about their June wedding, which took place at Spencer’s 30,000-acre family estate in Scotland.
However, after weeks of keeping details of the ceremony under wraps, the couple gave the public an insight into their special day through an exclusive spread in Hello! magazine. They exchanged vows in a simple outdoor ceremony in front of family, including Spencer’s brother James and his wife Pippa Middleton.
