Vogue Williams has responded to allegations that she and husband Spencer Matthews have split.
The reality TV couple have been married since 2018 and are parents to their three children, Theodore, five, Gigi, three, and Otto.
As well as their life together, they also have been running the marriage lifestyle podcast for nearly five years called Spencer & Vogue.

However, rumours began to swirl about the health of their relationship when 36-year-old Spencer revealed that he’s going to professionally separate from his wife and leave the podcast to focus on other things.
The Made in Chelsea alum said in a recent episode: "You can probably tell where this is going. I’m moving on from this podcast to pursue other business interests and focus on my upcoming challenge and just other bits and bobs that I would like to spend more time focusing on.
"I’ve loved doing this show and it would never have been as popular as it would be without the listeners."

Vogue, 39, had a great response to this, and took it in her stride.
"I'm sad to see you go, obviously, but I see you all day, every day, anyway," she said before adding: "So I'm going to be sad to see you go, but I won't miss ya because I'll see you at home."
Since then, the couple have been the subject of speculation for weeks, and Vogue has now addressed it in a straight-to-the-point statement.
Posting images to Instagram of her family, she wrote to her fans: "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.”
She added: “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."
Another reason people began to believe that there was trouble in paradise was when the pair didn’t publicly acknowledge their fifth wedding anniversary and talked about having ‘tiffs’.
One instance of a disagreement the pair had was when Vogue noted the division of labour in their home.
She revealed: "In the nicest way possible, I would say I fix the broken radiator and I do the school run. I would say I do 80 percent of what goes on. We've actually been having a slight little tiff about that this morning, about the stuff that I do."

However, their partnership has made Spencer into a better man.
He told the Mirror: "Vogue was a massive factor in my wanting to change.
"I wanted to be better for her, initially. I thought I would lose her. There was never any pressure from her per se, I could just see disappointment in her eyes. I care enormously about my relationship, my love for her. I wanted to make her proud initially so that was a driving factor. She's an incredible mother and a beautiful wife and I feel very lucky to be married to her."
