He has been refused bail and will appear at Penrith Local Court on Monday.
Fairfax media understands it is a domestic violence incident.
It is understood that Ms Mcclenahan-Ernst was the mother of two young girls, aged two and one.
It is unclear what Mr Spencer's relationship is with the two girls.
Superintendent Greg Peters said Mr Spencer was assisting police with their enquiries.
"He is co-operating with our interview ... I believe they were in a relationship, I'm not sure if they were actually living together.
"The cause of death is unknown at this point in time," Superintendent Peters said.
"We will no doubt wait until the body is conveyed to the Sydney mortuary, some time this morning, and then we have to wait for the results of a post mortem ... At this stage I am unable to say what the injuries are."
It is understood there were a number of people in the house when police were called. They are also assisting police with enquiries.
"I do know there were people at the house at that time.
"I know she had been out with her family - whether it was her family or his family - during the night, before they came back to the house," Superintendent Peters said.
Police remain on the scene, where a crime scene has been established.
