Vogue Williams paid a visit to the in-laws on Thursday, at least in a manner of speaking, while unwinding in the Caribbean with her three children.
The Irish presenter is currently enjoying an extended spring break on the island of St. Barths with husband Spencer Matthews, daughter Gigi and sons Theodore and Otto.
But accomodation may well have come gratis courtesy of Spencer’s parents, David and Jane Matthews, owners of the sprawling Eden Roc St Barths resort since 1995.
Venturing out with her children on Thursday, Vogue inevitably caught the eye in a patterned string bikini as they climbed aboard a paddleboard.
The presenter, 40, shielded herself from soaring spring temperatures beneath a baseball cap and heavily tinted sunglasses while setting off on the waters surrounding Eden Roc.
Spencer’s parents transformed Eden Roc into a luxury five-star resort after purchasing the ocean-facing property for an undisclosed sum almost three decades ago.
Vogue previously insisted she and her husband are ‘happy’ and that their marriage is secure, while dispelling past rumours of a potential crisis.
Speaking to The Sun, the presenter said she has reached a point in her life where only ‘their truth’ matters, stressing that they remain very much a happy couple.
She recalled: ‘When he left our podcast, everyone was like, “What’s going on?”‘
Vogue also admitted to worrying about their children hearing the ‘baseless and cruel’ gossip at school.
She had previously addressed the claims in an Instagram post, telling followers: ‘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. We’re very happily married and in love and I hope posting the truth on my own platform might make it stop.’
Asked whether her denial had helped silence the rumours, she told The Sun: ‘Of course not! I’ll probably not bother next time.’
She added: ‘You’re just wasting your energy. I feel like I’ve hit a point in my life where it only matters what I know and what our truth is. When you’re in the public eye, you can kind of expect stuff like that.
‘We’re happy, our relationship is solid, and we’re having a great time, our kids are happy, and that’s all that matters.’
Appearing on The Netmums Podcast, she discussed the importance of nurturing relationships outside of parenting, and how they make time for each other amid their busy schedules.
Hosts Wendy and Alison brought up the topic of time for just parents and how Vogue and Spencer have enjoyed child-free holidays.
Vogue explained: ‘We spend a massive amount of time with our kids, but you have to nurture your own relationship.
‘At the end of the day you are all a big family and there is no family if the two of you are always fighting and not creating time with each other.
‘Now, saying that we don’t have loads of time together, but we try to do a couple of weekends a year where it is just you and I.
‘And then we did one together, ended up having a fight and not talking for the full day. I was like, “no this isn’t how it is supposed to go!”‘
