Vogue Williams and Spencer Matthews have sold their incredible £5.25million London home in a search for a bigger property for their family.
The couple, who have been married since 2018, share Theodore, six, Gigi, four, and Otto, two, have left their stunning two-storey Battersea home behind after agreeing that they need more than 4,000 sq ft for their family.
Here, we take a look at the former Made In Chelsea star’s home he shared with Vogue and their kids…
Spencer previously revealed how his interior plans for the property were shot down by his wife, who found his idea ‘uncomfortable’.
Speaking to the Sunday Times, Spencer, 36, said: ‘I thought it would be cool to have this fun, New York studio vibe. Exposed brick, an orange resin floor, motorbikes indoors, supercool man cave stuff – but it was outgunned.’
Vogue, 39, wasn’t too pleased with the idea, hitting back: ‘I absolutely hated it. It was so uncomfortable. And then I had to pay to get wood flooring instead.’
The property clearly had some unique touches throughout, however, with a selection of colourful artwork by Irish artists including Chloe Early and Conor Harrington.
A bright orange sectional sofa also took centre stage in the house, adorned with turquoise striped cushions.
The couple also enjoyed family time in a huge 750 sq ft open plan kitchen and living room which opened up into a stunning terrace with outdoor furniture and a grill.
The primary bedroom of the property included an en-suite, with two additional bedrooms throughout the home.
The modern space also included a fully-equipped home gym for the fitness fanatic couple, as well as a home cinema.
The house hit the market for a cool £5.25 million as the couple, who also have a property in Vogue’s native Dublin, planned their move to a new forever home.
Spencer recently revealed that he won’t be leaving his huge fortune to his kids, saying them inheriting the huge amount of money could be detrimental.
‘Suffer is too strong a word, but it’s very important that my kids have to challenge themselves and experience things on their own,’ he stated.
‘There’s no point in doing well in life and then giving it all to your kids. It’s doing them a huge disservice.’
Spencer is the son of multimillionaire Eden Rock hotelier David Matthews. He attended the same school as Prince William – Eton College – where fees are currently £63,000 a year.
He has gone on to launch his own business, CleanCo, which sells alcohol-free spirits. Alongside the company, he has capitalised on the interest in him with podcasts and TV appearances. He has been a part of Celebrity MasterChef, The Jump, and Watchdog. Spencer is also an investor in his parent’s hotel, Eden Rock in the Caribbean.
Due to the multiple ventures, he has been able to amass quite the fortune – Spencer is estimated to be worth around £12.5 million according to The Sun.
Talking further about his decision, Spencer praised comedian Jimmy Carr, who became a father when his son Rockefeller was born in 2019, for his standpoint.
‘Jimmy quite eloquently talks about trust fund kids who are given everything, and he sees them as just being really unfortunate, actually and I would completely agree,’ he said.
The 52-year-old previously claimed on the Diary of a CEO podcast that children who inherit large sums of money are often ‘mentally tortured’.
‘Having stuff isn’t fun. Getting stuff is fun, right? It’s not the pursuit of happiness, it’s the happiness of the pursuit,’ he reasoned.
Spencer shared similar sentiments: ‘If you’re a young man who’s just given everything, or a young woman, who’s just given everything, you may not ever understand the need to work because you have what you think you want, and then, therefore, you won’t ever feel proud of yourself.
‘You won’t ever have a sense of achievement.’
Meanwhile, Vogue’s net worth is estimated to be over £3 million thanks to her various TV and radio gigs, her own tan range, Bare By Vogue, and a huge deal with Fairy which reportedly brought her in £1.4 million alone last year.
The couple have recently been forced to deny rumours that their marriage is over, with Vogue taking to social media to hit back at the ‘cruel’ claims.

Sharing a montage of them together, she wrote: ‘It’s with great sadness that I have to let you know that Spen and I are NOT breaking up!
‘I usually avoid addressing baseless and cruel rumours but this just keeps coming up. It’s disappointing to see this narrative being pushed almost daily when it’s absolutely not true and much more importantly, I don’t want my children hearing these lies in the playground.
‘We’re not sure what the angle is or where it’s coming from but the whole thing feels very strange and mean.’
She reassured fans that they are ‘very happily married and in love’ but wanted to ‘post the truth’ to put an end to the speculation.
