Spencer Matthews admits he is punching above his weight with Vogue Williams.
The 31-year-old reformed lothario revealed that people often tell him how lucky he is to be married to the 34-year-old DJ and he agrees that he is fortunate to be with Vogue.
He told MailOnline: "I would argue that Vogue is lucky as well. I was getting off a flight, half asleep, and the lady just went, ‘You are so lucky. Your wife, she’s amazing.’
"’I’ve understood now that I’m supposed to socially accept that I’m the lucky one. I suppose I’d rather be punching rather than not! It’s a good thing, right?"
Spencer also revealed that he and Vogue – who have 18-month-old son Theodore together – became close friends before they started dating and he believes this friendship is what makes their relationship strong.
He said: "I was always pretty selfish. Vogue and I weren’t looking for a serious relationship at the time we met and I think that’s probably part of the reason why we became so close as friends first. It made sense.
"I recognised a lot of Vogue in me and vice versa. We fit, we were very compatible together – even my mum thinks we’re similar! She’s my best mate. When Vogue came around, that was me done.
"I honestly don’t think anyone should put a timeline on it – getting it wrong is way wrong than settling it at a later date. Even some of my male friends are panicking about settling down."
