Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash are reportedly planning to leave their beloved Pickle Cottage for an eight-bedroom Victorian mansion in Essex, worth nearly double their current home. The couple, who have six children together, have fallen in love with the new property, which sits on 30 acres of land and includes a swimming pool and a lake.
New Property Details
According to The Sun, the mansion costs almost double the £1.3 million they paid for Pickle Cottage. A source told the publication: "They viewed the house and fell in love with it. It's got extra space for the kids. Pickle Cottage only has five bedrooms." The source added: "They have six children and then they need a room for themselves. It gives Stacey a chance to do more of her amazing DIY work as well. She has a great eye for interiors. This house needs a bit of love and work to make it the absolute dream home where they can make new memories."
Split Rumours Addressed
The insider also claimed that the move could help quash split rumours that have been circulating since March, four years after the couple tied the knot in 2022. Stacey was seen without her wedding ring on multiple occasions, sparking speculation. Appearing on This Morning, she addressed the rumours light-heartedly, joking: "Have I not been wearing my ring? I probably took it off to go to the toilet or something, I don't know! Maybe I dropped my ring in the lake?"
Family Dynamics
Solomon and Swash have a blended family with six children: sons Zachary, Leighton, and Rex, and daughters Rose, Belle, and a youngest child. The new mansion will provide ample space for the growing family, allowing Solomon to continue her passion for interior design and DIY projects.
