Vogue Williams and her husband, Spencer Matthews, have welcomed their fourth child, a baby boy, and have finally revealed the name they chose for him after an unexpected last-minute change. The television presenter, 40, announced the arrival of their son earlier in the week, sharing the happy news with fans and followers. On Sunday, she confirmed that their newest family member has been named Remy Valentine Matthews, a sweet and distinctive choice that has already attracted plenty of affection online. Vogue also shared a collection of heartwarming photographs showing the newborn alongside his older siblings, Theo, eight, Gigi, six, and Otto, four, giving fans a glimpse of the growing family as they celebrate the latest addition to their home.

The name Remy came after the couple reconsidered their original choice, which was considerably more dramatic. Before their son was born, Vogue had revealed that she and Spencer had intended to name him Elvis, taking inspiration from the legendary rock’n’roll star. Vogue had openly admitted that she loved the name and considered it her favourite option. However, as the birth approached, the couple began to have second thoughts after members of their family expressed strong opinions about the choice. Spencer reportedly received several phone calls from relatives questioning the decision, prompting the couple to reconsider whether Elvis was ultimately the right name for their child.

Vogue discussed the change during an episode of her My Therapist Ghosted Me podcast, explaining that the situation had left them without a final name shortly before the baby’s arrival. She admitted that although she genuinely loved Elvis, she had never felt completely comfortable with the idea. Her concern was not simply about whether the name sounded unusual, but about what it might mean for her son as he grew older. Vogue explained that a particularly bold name could be difficult for a child to carry while growing up and could potentially create challenges later in life, including when entering the workplace. Her comments highlighted the tension many parents face when choosing between a name they personally adore and one they believe will suit their child throughout every stage of life.

Despite abandoning Elvis, Vogue made it clear that she has always been drawn to distinctive and memorable names. She described having several other appealing choices in mind, although Elvis had remained her favourite for some time. Her eventual decision suggests that the couple wanted something that still felt stylish and individual without carrying quite the same weight as the name they had initially selected. Remy Valentine Matthews ultimately became their choice, combining a distinctive first name with a romantic middle name. Once Vogue shared the decision publicly, the response from friends and fans was overwhelmingly positive, with several of the couple’s famous friends sending warm congratulations and expressing their love for the newborn’s name.

Among those who reacted was singer Paloma Faith, who commented warmly about the name Remy, while Ashley James simply congratulated the family on their new arrival. Holly Willoughby also joined the well-wishers, describing the newborn as gorgeous and welcoming him to the world. The affectionate reactions came shortly after Vogue had announced the birth itself, writing that their beautiful baby boy had arrived safely and that their house was filled with excitement, love and happiness. For the couple and their three older children, the arrival marked a major new chapter, with Remy now becoming the youngest member of a busy family of six.

The newborn’s arrival also came during an especially eventful week for the Matthews family because their eldest child, Theo, celebrated his eighth birthday on Saturday. Vogue marked the occasion by posting a series of photographs of her firstborn and described him as sweet, kind and football mad, while proudly calling him the best big brother. The timing meant that the family had two major reasons to celebrate within just a few days: welcoming their fourth baby and marking Theo’s eighth year. The photographs of Remy with Theo, Gigi and Otto further showed the excitement surrounding his arrival and the special bond beginning to form between the siblings.

The couple first announced that they were expecting their fourth child in April, when Vogue shared photographs on Instagram alongside the caption announcing that baby number four was on the way. Several months later, the long-awaited arrival has now expanded their family, while the decision over his name has added another memorable chapter to the pregnancy story. Although Elvis had seemed destined to become their son’s name, family reactions and Vogue’s own concerns ultimately persuaded the couple to take a different direction. The choice of Remy Valentine Matthews appears to have given them a name they feel comfortable with while still reflecting Vogue’s preference for something distinctive rather than completely conventional.

Meanwhile, Spencer has continued pursuing his own demanding goals despite the major changes happening at home. On Sunday, just as the family was celebrating their newborn son and announcing his name, Spencer took part in London’s The Big Half half marathon and finished with an official chip time of 1:23:05, averaging 3:54 per kilometre. He explained afterward that the race was intended as a hard training session and an assessment ahead of his planned Berlin and Valencia marathons rather than an all-out effort. Spencer said running had completely changed his life by giving him something outside work and family to pursue, adding that the structure and sense of achievement had become deeply meaningful to him. Proud of his performance on a hot and hilly course, he revealed that his long-term target is a 2:45 marathon, meaning that while Vogue and Spencer settle into life with baby Remy, the family is also celebrating Theo’s birthday and Spencer’s continued progress toward his own ambitious goals.
