Spencer Matthews on his fears of losing Vogue, his determination to make his kids work hard and how he turned his life around
He went to the same school as Prince William, his family home is a 10,000-acre estate in the Scottish Highlands and his daddy is a multi-millionaire – but Spencer Matthews is determined his own children will work hard for the luxuries in life. The father-of-three, 36, has spent the last five years transforming his image from reality TV playboy to sober businessman and endurance athlete, and the hard yards have convinced him not to afford his children a life of privilege – or a trust fund.
In fact, Spencer is already ensuring his children are challenging themselves and Theodore has recently joined his local Parkrun, perhaps inspired by Spencer’s world record for running 30 marathons in 30 days on sand last summer. “Theodore is starting to run now,” says Spencer. “He ran two kilometres the other day with an average pace of 5 minutes 20 seconds per kilometre.
“If you’re a young man who’s just given everything, or a young woman, who’s just given everything, you may not ever understand the need to work because you have what you think you want, and then, therefore, you won’t ever feel proud of yourself. You won’t ever have a sense of achievement.” Spencer overhauled his lifestyle over five years ago when he realised he needed to stop partying and focus on work and family.
Spencer’s transformation is interesting to unpick. He’s a man with many gifts but he has worked hard to find the light. For anyone who wants to overhaul their life, Spencer wants them to know that it will take time and consistency. “Proper change happens gradually, it’s consistently doing things better than before,” says Spencer.
