Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash have been a showbiz golden couple for a long time, but in recent months their relationship has been plagued by rumours.
Fans started to speculate there might be trouble in paradise when they were seen arguing on their show Stacey & Joe, although they have since said they wanted to include the argument to be ‘real’.
More recently, fans have noticed that Stacey hasn’t always been wearing her wedding ring, and despite addressing chatter in March, Stacey has now had to comment on the rumours again.
Speaking on the Sort Your Life Out Unpacked podcast in May, Stacey said: ‘Who cares if the whole world is like, “Oh, they’re on the brink of divorce”?
‘Being in the public eye, I think creates certain pressures, but not on our relationship because half the time what they’re saying, “If we know it’s not true, who cares?”’
Stacey added: ‘Sometimes I fancy the pants off him and can’t wait to come home to see him. Sometimes I’m like, “Get out of my stratosphere – stay away from me." I think we’re just like any other couple.’
Stacey and Joe's fans were delighted over the weekend to see them together and celebrating their son Rex's birthday party.
They threw him a joint pool party to mark him turning seven and Stacey's niece Mila turning 11, complete with a flamingo float and sparkling disco backdrop.
The new comments come after Stacey appeared on Good Morning Britain in May, where she was asked by host Ben Shepherd about the rumours.
He said: 'There are these crazy rumours going on about the two of you at the moment… What's going on there, Stace?'
Stacey replied by asking Ben to explain further, saying: 'What are they? Go on. There's a new rumour each week!'
He then mentioned reports of her not wearing her ring, with Stacey saying: 'Do you know what, I am terrible. I don't read any of that stuff. In fact, does anyone anymore?'
'But yeah, we just… Have I not been wearing my ring? Probably took it off to go to the toilet, or something.'
Ben continued: 'There is a lot going on at the moment, because of his lake, the plan for the lake is coming to fruition. He was talking to us the other day…'
Stacey joked: 'Maybe I dropped my ring in the lake… with our marriage!'
Joe is indeed planning to create a fishing lake at the couple’s Pickle Cottage home as part of his hopes to build a glamping site business.
Chatting with The Sun previously, Joe said that he’s big plans for the space and would also like to add ‘a couple yurts [and] a couple of little hot tubs.’
He said: ‘I want to make somewhere where you can come and eat good food and bring your wife and she won’t mind you fishing because she’ll have enough things to do.
‘Hopefully, the public will book and come and stay. That’s the big goal – to have a really nice glamping place where people can come and just enjoy nature.’
Stacey and Joe have been together for many years after meeting on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2010. They tied the knot in 2022 and share three children: Rex, Rose, and Belle.
Stacey is also mum to her two sons, Zachary and Leighton, while Joe is a dad to his son, Harry.
