Spencer Matthews and Vogue Williams have ‘split their business ventures’ in a shocking move for the famous couple.
Spencer, 37, recently dumped his agent at Money Management and joined YMU, who represent the likes of Ant and Dec, Claudia Winkleman, and Davina McCall, according to The Daily Mail.
The TV personality arrived in Cape Town to kick off his latest physical challenge on November 13, planning to complete seven triathlons across seven continents in just 23 days.
Meanwhile, Vogue, 40, is a contestant on I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, appearing on the show as the obligatory latecomer who arrives in camp a day or two after everyone else.
Spencer calls his new venture Project Se7en and plans to complete it on December 6, the day before I’m A Celeb ends, meaning he won’t be there to greet Vogue at the end of the show’s famous bridge when her time in the jungle wraps up.

Some have wondered why Spencer would choose to undertake the challenge while Vogue is on I’m A Celeb, making him unable to support his wife during the show.
One source told The Daily Mail: ‘This separation is staggering and very telling at the same time. They did everything together and then boom, that’s it, Spencer goes at it alone.
‘Going into the jungle is massive for Vogue, she’s leaving her three beloved kids behind. Spencer is also going off and won’t be there to meet her at the end of the bridge.
‘The whole thing is very strange. It certainly draws a line in the sand when it comes to their careers – they are now undeniably separate.’
Meanwhile, Spencer’s latest project is decidedly different than previous ones he’s undertaken, like the Great Desert Challenge, during which Spencer ran 30 consecutive marathons in 30 days across the Jordanian desert, making the feat into a BBC documentary in 2024.
For Project Se7en, he has yet to come into any kind of film agreement, according to insiders for The Daily Mail.
The sources said: ‘Project Se7en is for charity, yet he has had to do it without the support of any big broadcaster,’ says my source. There could be further problems ahead for Spencer. To put it mildly, he has antagonised his former representatives at Money Management, who have, I’m told, been ‘extremely loyal’ and ‘fought many fires on his behalf’.
The news of the couple’s business split comes after their joint podcast, Spencer and Vogue, ended in January after Vogue claimed Spencer ‘didn’t enjoy it anymore.’
Now, many are wondering, is it just a professional schism, or something more?
