On August 11, 2024, Vogue Williams was credited with saving her husband, Spencer Matthews, from alcoholism. The couple, who married in 2018 and have three children together, opened up about Spencer’s struggle with alcohol and how Vogue played a crucial role in his journey to sobriety.
Spencer, a 36-year-old reality TV star, admitted that he was a “bad alcoholic” when he first started dating Vogue. He would drink early in the day and often to excess, leading to feelings of shame and a lack of control over his behavior. It was during this time that he realized he had a problem and needed to make a change.
In an interview with heat magazine, Spencer revealed that Vogue was his motivation for turning his life around. He shared, “When we first started dating, I was a bad alcoholic. I would drink really early in the day, most days, and often to excess. It started to get to the stage where I felt quite a lot of shame towards my behaviour. I knew it was wrong, but I was struggling to stop it – that’s the first time I began to notice that it was actually a problem and not something I had control over.”
The turning point for Spencer came when Vogue became pregnant, prompting him to reevaluate his lifestyle and make a commitment to sobriety. He decided to go completely sober for nearly four years before reintroducing alcohol in a healthier way. Spencer credited Vogue and their growing family as his motivation for making positive changes in his life.
Currently, Spencer is training for a challenging physical feat – running 30 marathons in 30 days across the Jordanian Desert. Despite his physical preparation, Spencer admitted that he will struggle emotionally being away from his family for an extended period. He expressed his love and dependence on Vogue and their children, acknowledging that being apart from them will be a significant challenge for him.
Spencer’s journey to sobriety and his upcoming physical challenge highlight the importance of having a strong support system and motivation to make positive changes in one’s life. Vogue’s unwavering support and love have been instrumental in Spencer’s recovery from alcoholism, showcasing the power of a healthy and loving relationship in overcoming personal struggles.
