Vogue Williams has revealed the raw and painful reality of her miscarriages, opening up about the emotional toll they took on her as she prepares to welcome her fourth child.
The 40-year-old TV presenter and mother-of-three shared that before falling pregnant with her newest addition, she endured two devastating losses — including one she described as “awful and heartbreaking” just last year. Vogue and husband Spencer Matthews, 37, are already doting parents to sons Theodore, eight, Otto, four, and daughter Gigi, six.
Speaking candidly on Jamie Laing’s Great Company podcast, Vogue admitted the gut-wrenching emotions that follow pregnancy loss. “You just feel like your whole body has failed you and you’re on your own,” she said. “You keep asking yourself, ‘Why me? Why me?’”
Vogue explained that connecting with other women’s experiences helped her navigate the grief. “I realised it happens to so many,” she said. “The reason I spoke about it was because when it happened to me, I saw so many women talking about it and I thought, okay, it’s literally every second woman.”
Reflecting on the losses, Vogue acknowledged the profound difficulty of late miscarriages, saying: “I’ve had friends who’ve had extremely late miscarriages, and I look at that and think it must be the most difficult thing in the world. You just have to move forward.”
When discussing her experiences with pregnancy, Vogue admitted she would happily skip the nine months if she could, joking, “If I could skip the pregnancy bit, I’d give birth 10 times instead. Everyone is so nice to you when you’re giving birth.”
Her first miscarriage occurred very early on, around four weeks, before she and Spencer welcomed their daughter Gigi in 2020. But last year, heartbreak struck again during a 12-week scan. Vogue explained, “I was told it wasn’t really a pregnancy — the embryo hadn’t grown, even though my body still thought I was pregnant. I was really embarrassed and upset. I felt like my body had failed me.”

Vogue described the difficult decision-making process that followed. “They offered tablets, but I was going to Spain, and I just didn’t want to be stuck here on my own,” she said. “So I had a DNC — it was quick, and afterwards, I was just relieved to have space to process it in my own thoughts.”
Spencer Matthews, speaking earlier this year about their pregnancy news, reflected on the challenges: “We feel very… hard this time round to get to where we wanted. Definitely more bumps in the road to actually get pregnant, but we feel really fortunate to have three kids, and this one’s been harder to get to — both the announcing and actually getting to this point has been rough.”
Despite the heartache, Vogue’s openness has resonated with countless women, bringing a much-needed conversation about miscarriage into the spotlight.
As she prepares for the arrival of their fourth child, Vogue Williams’ courage in sharing her journey reminds everyone that even in moments of deep sadness, resilience and hope can prevail.
