The Irish presenter, now happily married to Spencer Matthews, was married to McFadden from 2012 until their divorce was finalised in 2017.

While she has since built a successful career in television and podcasting, insiders say she finds it uncomfortable when her former marriage is mentioned and prefers not to revisit that period of her life.

Vogue has previously spoken openly about struggling during the relationship, admitting it caused her anxiety and sleepless nights, and later describing it as a “mistake” in her autobiography Big Mouth.

She has since reinvented her public image, starring in multiple TV projects including The Jump, Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special, and her hit podcast My Therapist Ghosted Me, while also building a family life with Spencer Matthews. Fans Gather For Lady Gaga's "Monster Hall" Performance

Sources claim she has worked hard to move on completely, focusing on her current life and family rather than her past relationships.

One insider said the former marriage represents a difficult and “embarrassing” chapter she prefers not to revisit, adding that she feels far removed from that version of herself.

Vogue is now expecting her fourth child with Spencer Matthews and shares three children with him, fully embracing her new chapter in life.

Brian McFadden has also moved on and is now married to former PE teacher and blogger Danielle Parkinson, with whom he shares a daughter.

The former couple have reportedly had little to no contact for years, with McFadden once describing their communication as “pointless” in earlier interviews.

Sources suggest that for Vogue, the past is firmly in the past — and not a story she wishes to reopen.
