Stacey Solomon has revealed to being in the midst of a ‘non-romantic phase’ with her husband Joe Swash.
The former X Factor and I’m A Celebrity contestant, 33, met Joe, 41, after she was named Queen of the Jungle by Ant and Dec in 2010.
Joe had previously won the reality programme in 2008 before going on to host the spin-off show Get Me Out of Here!, when he met Stacey backstage.
The pair declared their relationship in 2016, before delivering their first kid in 2019 and getting engaged during the epidemic, in December 2020.
The renowned couple have since had two more children and married in July 2022 in a modest, private ceremony at their house in Essex, Pickle Cottage.
A year after their wedding, Stacey has revealed that devoting so much time to kids has hampered their romance.
‘I think me and Joe are in our non-romantic era. It is important just to get time for us, but we’re at that stage in our life where that’s not really possible.’
Speaking to OK Magazine, she continued: ‘We recently went to a friend’s wedding and had a lovely night together, but outside of that it’s once or twice a year.’
Stacey also said that after their third child, Belle, was born in February – Stacey’s fifth total and Joe’s fourth – they will not have any more children.
‘We don’t want any more – we cannot cope with it. We wanted all these kids and we’re so grateful to have them. So we will get romantic – but in 20 years’ time.’
Joe has one kid from a previous relationship, Harry, and Stacey has two sons, Zachary and Leighton, and she claims that five children is plenty for her.
‘Having five kids and two dogs, I get through so much. When you’ve got a big family, it’s relentless,’ she added, talking about her busy home life.
Stacey wrote on Sunday that she was ‘forever glad’ to spend lovely moments with her family after uploading images of her and her son Rex swimming.
