Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash have become insanely popular for their no-holds barred honesty about their relationship – from their happiest of times like welcoming son Rex, to the struggles that come too.
The showbiz couple will invite fans into their homes for even more of an intimate look at their lives as they are starring on the new series of Celebrity Gogglebox.
They first sparked relationship rumours in January 2016 and now live as a blended family with their sons – Rex, who they share, Leighton and Zachary, who are Stacey’s from previous relationships, and Harry, who is Joe’s with his ex.
Here, Daily Star Online has taken a look into their love lives – from more baby news, marriage plans and Stacey’s very famous ex-boyfriend.
Marriage plans

In May 2019, Stacey sparked marriage rumours when she referred to Joe as her “husband” on Loose Women.
Then, last November, there were rumours that Stacey and Joe had secretly got married while on holiday with their boys.
However, at the time, Stacey told her Instagram followers: “We didn’t get married. We wouldn’t secretly get married anyway because I’d be so over the moon about it I’d tell everyone.”
Fans noticed that Joe wears a ring on his left hand, speculating that it was a wedding ring, but sadly they were mistaken.

The former EastEnders star explained that the rings are his late father Joe’s, and he wears them for luck.
In July 2017, an enamoured Stacey explained that she wanted to marry Joe.
She said: “I can see myself walking down the aisle with Joe – he really is ‘The One’.”
The former X Factor star even “accidentally” went wedding dress shopping – though they are yet to tie the knot.

But Stacey has also said that she “wasn’t bothered about getting married”.
She told New magazine: “I want an engagement ring, but I’m not bothered about getting married. Neither of us are.
“I have those weird preset ideas that I should get married and have a big white dress but it’s not the be all and end all.”
However, Joe has not yet popped the question to Stacey, though their relationship is still going from strength to strength.
Baby news

In February 2019, Joe broke the news that Stacey was pregnant with their first child together.
He shared a series of snaps of Stacey snoozing and joked he had thought she was “bored” of him – instead he was delighted to find out she was “growing a baby”.
Stacey then shared her own snap on Instagram, thanking fans for the well wishes.

Baby Rex was born on May 23, 2019 – meaning he celebrated his first birthday last month.
But babies were on the couple’s minds as early as August 2016, as Joe said on Loose Women: “I think definitely babies, that’s a good idea.”
And, just days after Rex’s first birthday, Stacey made it clear she would like more children with Joe.

Answering fans’ questions on Instagram, she said that “if they were all like [Rex], then yes, [she] would have” more children.
She went on: “Yes we would love to but what will be will be.”
And, in March, Joe told Express.co.uk: “I think [Rex] builds us into a false sense of security so we’re like, ‘Maybe we should think about doing it again.’
“But we’ve got to remember that Rex is one in a million.”
Stacey’s famous ex

Both Stacey and Joe have children from past relationships.
Stacey gave birth to her first son Zachary when she was 17, whose father is her ex-boyfriend Dean Cox.
In 2012, Stacey welcomed her second son Leighton with her then-fiancé Aaron Barnham.
Meanwhile, Joe’s son Harry is from his relationship with Emma Sophocleous.
However they have both had some famous ex-partners.
After splitting from the mother of his child in 2008, Joe went on to have a relationship with his EastEnders co-star Kara Tointon until 2010.
Stacey has a celebrity ex-boyfriend too – though the name may surprise you.
The I’m A Celeb queen started dating US star Steve-O – best known for being part of daredevil prank show Jackass – in 2015.
They grey close after competing on The Jump together, but split not long after, citing long distance.
