Irish TV personality Vogue Williams has claimed her husband Spencer Matthews is refusing to be intimate with her during the final stage of her pregnancy.
The 40-year-old broadcaster is expecting her fourth child, a baby boy, with the former Made In Chelsea reality star in October.
Speaking on the latest episode of her podcast, My Therapist Ghosted Me, Williams told co-host Joanne McNally that she believed her husband no longer found her attractive as her due date neared.
"I'm trying to look good looking today because I don’t think Spenny fancies me anymore," Williams said during the broadcast.
McNally joked in response: "Of course he doesn’t! You have been married for ages now, come on."
Williams laughed off the comment before explaining that their physical intimacy had halted. "No, because I think our fun times are over if you get me," she said. "I’m too pregnant now. I don’t want to. I was just being a nice wife and a good participant."
Lack of Bedroom Action
Williams detailed a conversation with Matthews, 38, where he pointed out how far along she was in her pregnancy. "But then when he was like 'yeah, well you’re really pregnant.' I was like 'excuse me? Sorry are you not into it anymore or?' And he’s like 'Vogue, you’re giving birth any minute now,'" she recalled.
McNally added: "Oh, so suddenly now he’s respectful and leaving you alone."
Lamenting their current lack of bedroom action, Williams jokingly suggested that her husband's lack of interest might be down to her cosmetic treatments wearing off. "I was sitting on the toilet last night for the ninetieth time doing a wee going 'what’s wrong? What bit do you not fancy?' Is it because the Botox has run out?" she quipped as the podcast team laughed.
She added: "Listen, it’s amazing when you’ve got no interest yourself but if somebody else says 'oh no' and then you’re like 'I’m sorry? And what part of me don’t you fancy?'"
Producer Commentary and Concerns
The show's producer, Joe, stepped in to offer a male perspective on why Matthews might be feeling hesitant. "I can’t speak for the whole male population, but I suspect on his part there comes a point where you’re sort of thinking more about the presence of a baby than the woman herself," Joe suggested.
Williams rejected the theory, responding: "Well, do you know what Joe, people are mad for pregnancy porn. Loads of people fancy pregnant people." Joe insisted he was not "kink shaming."
McNally expressed her own humorous concerns, questioning whether late-stage sex could "knock out" the baby or "dent" the head. Williams then revealed that Matthews had actually changed his mind later that evening.
"But last night then he was like 'actually, I kind of am in the mood now.' And I was like 'oh, no, no, no, no, that’s backfired,'" Williams said. McNally replied: "That ship has sailed buddy. That window has closed."
Fourth Child Gender Reveal
The podcast admission comes shortly after Williams officially revealed the gender of their upcoming baby on her YouTube channel on Monday. The couple, who married in 2018, confirmed they are expecting another boy.
Williams and Matthews are already parents to sons Theodore, seven, and Otto, three, as well as five-year-old daughter Gigi.
In the video recorded in their car, Williams asked her husband: "Will we say what we’re having?" Matthews replied: "We know, obviously. Have you not told people?" Williams admitted: "I don’t know. I just got a feeling there."
The couple then turned the camera to children Gigi and Theodore in the back seat, asking them to announce the baby's sex. Gigi shouted, "A boy!" prompting Williams to confirm: "We’re having another boy." Matthews added: "We’re owed a nice, sensitive soul."
With the baby due in just a few weeks, Williams revealed that she and Matthews are struggling to settle on a name and have asked their fans to send in suggestions.
