Vogue Williams and Spencer Matthews have welcomed their fourth child, a baby boy, adding another son to their growing family. The Irish presenter, 40, announced the safe arrival of their newborn on Tuesday evening, making the couple parents to four children. The couple, who are already parents to Theodore, seven, Gigi, six, and four-year-old Otto, are now a family of six.
New Arrival and Family Joy
Williams shared the happy news on Instagram, expressing her delight: “Our beautiful baby boy has arrived safely… The house is bursting with excitement, love and happiness and we couldn’t be more delighted.” The announcement was met with a flood of congratulatory messages from friends and fans, including well-wishes from television personalities Holly Willoughby, Amanda Holden, and Zoe Ball.
Images shared by Williams showed the couple’s older children meeting their new baby brother, capturing tender moments of sibling introduction. The excitement in the household is palpable as the family adjusts to life with their newest member.
The Mystery of the Baby’s Name
While the arrival of their son has brought immense joy, the couple has kept the baby’s name under wraps for the time being. This decision follows a period where Williams revealed they had changed their minds about a name they had initially planned for months. The presenter had previously described their original choice as “f****d” and “mad,” hinting at its unconventional nature.
Speaking on her podcast, “My Therapist Ghosted Me,” Williams disclosed that the name they had settled on was Elvis. However, she explained that after much consideration, they decided against it. “We have changed our baby name – we have no name,” she announced. “You know the name was pretty full on and I loved the name.” She admitted that while she loved the name Elvis, she had reservations about saddling her son with such a prominent and famous moniker.
“I honestly thought though because it’s been on my mind I just, I haven’t ever been 100 per cent comfortable with it,” Williams explained. “But because as much as I love the name it’s such a big name to take on when you’re little or trying to get a job when you’re older.” She indicated that they had explored “other very cool options” before ultimately deciding to hold off on revealing the final choice.
Family Reactions to the Original Name Choice
The potential choice of Elvis had apparently garnered attention from within the Matthews family. “Spenny has been getting a few phone calls from family members regarding the name,” Williams shared, prompting her podcast co-host to joke about the name’s perceived lack of controversy.
Williams’s earlier comments about the name being “f****d” and “mad” had prepared listeners for a potentially unusual selection. She had teased the name back in June, describing it as “the heaviest hitter” of all her children’s names. This foreshadowing suggested a name that was indeed bold and memorable.
A Journey to Parenthood
The announcement of the fourth child followed the couple’s shared news in April that they were expecting again. The pregnancy came after a challenging period for Williams, who had previously spoken openly about experiencing two miscarriages. She described one loss as “awful and heartbreaking” after discovering at a 12-week scan that the embryo had stopped developing.
Spencer Matthews also acknowledged the increased difficulty in conceiving their fourth child compared to previous pregnancies. “We’re so happy,” he stated. “Definitely more bumps in the road in order to actually get pregnant. This one’s been harder to get to.” The couple, married since 2018, have navigated these personal challenges while also addressing public speculation about their relationship.
Addressing Marriage Rumours
In recent times, the couple had to dispel persistent rumours concerning the state of their marriage. Speculation intensified when Spencer Matthews stepped back from their joint podcast, “Spencer & Vogue,” to focus on his solo project, “Untapped.” The couple also did not publicly acknowledge their seventh wedding anniversary, which fueled further conjecture.
Vogue Williams directly addressed these rumours, issuing a statement to clarify their marital status. “It is with great sadness that I have to let you know that Spen and I are NOT breaking up!” she humorously stated. She characterized the rumours as “baseless and cruel,” expressing concern about how such claims might affect their children, particularly if encountered at school.
“We’re very happily married and in love and I hope posting the truth on my own platform might make it stop,” she added. With the arrival of their fourth child, the focus for the Matthews-Williams household is now firmly on their expanding family and the joyous, albeit busy, reality of raising five children.
Conclusion
Vogue Williams and Spencer Matthews are celebrating the arrival of their fourth child, a baby boy, bringing their family total to five. While the name of their newborn remains a closely guarded secret, the couple expressed overwhelming joy and gratitude for their healthy son. This happy event follows a period of personal challenges, including previous miscarriages and navigating public speculation about their marriage, underscoring their resilience and deep bond as a family.
