Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash were among the crowds gathered in north London as Arsenal celebrated winning the Premier League title with a bus parade. The couple, accompanied by their children and Stacey's father, enjoyed the trophy parade on Sunday. Pictures posted to Instagram showed the group wearing Arsenal's red-and-white home shirts, with the children waving as a bus full of players passed by.
In her Instagram stories, Stacey wrote: "Happy Sunday from north London. Dad took me, my sister and brother to the last Arsenal parade, today we got to take our babies and be with dad." She described the atmosphere in Islington as "manic," with red smoke enveloping the buses as they passed through the streets. However, the former Loose Women star said she positioned herself near a shop where she knew the staff, as she "would have been nervous being anywhere else."
Stacey also shared a lighthearted moment: "Joe was so happy that we'd won the league, I convinced him to buy me a candle, my favourite candle, so I didn't go home empty-handed did I? Arsenal got a cup, and I got a candle."
Celebrations and Context
Elsewhere at the event, singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor performed a DJ set and posted a video of herself dancing with the team's mascot, Gunnersaurus. The parade came after Arsenal lost the Champions League final to Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday, drawing 1-1 before losing on penalties. However, the Gunners secured the 2025/26 Premier League title after Manchester City drew 1-1 with Bournemouth on May 19, leaving Arsenal seven points clear with 85 points.
Family Life and Split Rumors
Stacey and former EastEnders star Joe Swash married in 2022 and are parents to Rex (born 2019), Rose (2021), and Belle (2023). Stacey also has sons Zach, 18, and Leighton, 14, from previous relationships, while Joe has 18-year-old Harry with ex-fiancée Emma Sophocleous. The couple stars in the BBC reality series Stacey And Joe, which follows their life at Pickle Cottage in Essex with their four ducks, four ducklings, and two dogs.
Over recent months, the couple faced split rumors, especially after Stacey was seen without her wedding ring. Reports suggested they had hit a rocky patch, with claims they were never officially married. However, during an appearance on This Morning in April, Stacey dismissed the rumors: "What are the rumours? There's a new rumour each week. I'm terrible. I don't read any of that stuff." Looking directly at the camera, she added: "Have I not been wearing my ring? I probably took it off to go to the toilet or something, I don't know!"
