Joe Swash and Stacey Solomon surpass our expectations every time we believe they couldn’t be more ideal for one other.
The 42-year-old soap actor and 33-year-old presenter have been together for eight years, initially meeting on the set of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! when Joe congratulated the crowned Queen of the Jungle with an embrace.
(He subsequently said that when he met his future bride, his first reaction was that she ‘smelled worse than any other campmate,’ which we’re sure Stacey appreciated.)
Joe has recalled another early moment with Stacey – and it’s just about as charming as their initial encounter – a decade later, after welcoming three children together and married in the gardens of Pickle Cottage.
After meeting on I’m A Celeb, the two remained good friends but didn’t date until years later since Stacey was in a relationship at the time – but Joe ‘knew she was the one’ after a boozy night together.
He stated on I’m A Celebrity… South Africa Unseen Bits on Friday night that Stacey ‘puked up the walls’ of his house after a wild night out on their first date, and he understood ‘nothing she could ever do would ever put me off her.’
‘We got too drunk on red wine,’ he said, adding, ‘Stacey is not a drinker.’
After a night out, Stacey chose to race him up the stairs rather than use the elevator, but this caused the alcohol to’mix around her body.’
Stacey won the race, but at a price: when Joe entered his bathroom,’she had puked all up the walls and puked on my mirror.’
Joe’s reply to the less-than-romantic incident was ‘amazing,’ proving the two were intended to be together.
‘There’s not much she could do that would put me off her,’ he added.
Stacey and Joe have now welcomed son Rex, four, and daughters Rose, one, and Belle, three months, as well as their kids from prior marriages.
The Loose Women panelist has Zachary, 17, and 14-year-old Leighton, while Joe is also dad to 16-year-old Harry.
They welcomed baby Belle in February of this year after revealing in December that they were expecting again – something even the newlyweds didn’t realise for a while.
Stacey remarked on Instagram as she prepared to meet Belle that she looked ‘like I’d had a huge meal every now and then.’
