Vogue Williams is reportedly keen to leave her first marriage to Brian McFadden behind, feeling embarrassed by it as she builds a new life with husband Spencer Matthews. Sources claim she is upset by public mentions of her ex and has worked hard to reinvent herself, a struggle she has previously detailed in her autobiography.

Vogue Williams , the well-known television presenter and media personality, has reportedly developed a sense of embarrassment regarding her first marriage to former Westlife singer Brian McFadden, a union she is now said to be desperate to completely erase from her personal history.

The 40-year-old, who is currently blissfully married to Spencer Matthews and is expecting their fourth child together, was previously married to McFadden from 2012 to 2017. According to various sources, Vogue has made a concerted effort to reinvent her public and private persona following her divorce, driven by a desire not to be perpetually defined as 'Brian McFadden's ex-wife.

' Her career has flourished since the split, with high-profile appearances on reality television shows such as The Jump-where she met her current husband Spencer Matthews-and I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!. She has also established herself as a successful podcaster, co-hosting the popular show 'My Therapist Ghosted Me' with her close friend Joanne McNally.

The narrative takes a turn as it's claimed Vogue was notably unsettled when Jamie Laing, a friend of Spencer Matthews, mentioned her ex-husband Brian during a podcast appearance. This incident is said to have struck a nerve because Vogue has deliberately avoided any public discussion of her first marriage, having consciously worked to distance herself from that chapter of her life.

Furthermore, her second marriage to Spencer Matthews is purported to have facilitated her entry into more elite and exclusive social circles, a significant shift from her earlier life. A source close to the situation provided insight, stating: 'She was too young and impressionable and got swept away by Brian and his boyband fame and their marriage was a disaster.

' They elaborated to The Sun, 'Bringing up Brian takes her back to a place she would rather forget. It's awkward and embarrassing for her.

She sees it as a mistake she'd rather leave in the past so she was quite upset when Jamie mentioned his name like he was still part of her life - it was a bit of a low blow actually and left her wondering why he did that when he knew how it would make her feel.

' This internal struggle is not a new revelation. In her own autobiography, 'Big Mouth,' Vogue Williams previously labeled the marriage to Brian McFadden as 'a mistake,' detailing her acute 'anxiety and stress' on their wedding day. She wrote poignantly, 'The morning of the wedding I felt very stressed and so anxious because deep down I knew I had made a mistake.

' She explained her subsequent efforts, 'After the wedding I tried to make things work. The relationship wasn't all terrible, we did have some great times too, and for the most part he was good fun to be around. But he was not husband material. It was me who called it in the end.

I couldn't keep trying, it felt pointless… I'm not here to throw anyone under the bus but there are things that went on in our relationship that will never be forgiven.

' Brian McFadden himself has also commented on the past marriage, particularly when news surfaced in 2018 that Vogue and Spencer were expecting their first child. Speaking to Closer magazine at the time, he stated, 'I don't speak to Vogue any more either. It's pointless. She's married now and is having a baby.

I am delighted for her and I hope she has a lovely family. (Spencer) is a great guy.

' Since his divorce from Vogue, Brian McFadden has moved on and married Danielle Parkinson, a former PE teacher and lifestyle blogger. The couple welcomed their daughter, Ruby, in 2021 and later held a beach wedding ceremony in Cornwall in July to formalize their relationship.

This detailed account paints a picture of a public figure's complex personal history, her active efforts to move beyond a defining early relationship, and the enduring resonance of past choices even amidst new beginnings and family happiness
