Stacey Solomon and her husband Joe Swash presented a united front as they attended the Britain's Got Talent semi-final on Saturday, seated with their children in the audience. The couple, who have recently faced questions regarding their marriage, were present to support Braunstone Community Primary School. Stacey, 36, had awarded the school choir her Golden Buzzer during her guest judge appearance earlier this year, propelling them to the semi-finals.
Supporting the School Choir
During the show, hosts Ant and Dec interviewed Stacey, who expressed her excitement: "I cannot wait to watch them. I know they're gonna have the time of their lives out there, and that's what this show is all about to me." She added, "I feel so honoured to be here and I've loved every second of it. Good luck everyone tonight," as the audience cheered for her and Joe.
Family Life and Recent Hiatus
The couple are parents to son Rex, six, daughters Belle, three, and Rose, four. Stacey also has sons Zachary, 18, and Leighton, 13, from previous relationships, while Joe has a son named Harry, 18, from a prior relationship. On Thursday, Stacey returned to Instagram after taking a month-long break from social media, during which she "shut off from the world." She shared photos of herself enjoying sunny days with her children, baking chocolate cupcakes, and spending quality time together. Notably, Joe was absent from the images. She captioned the post: "A slow April, in our little world…. Missed coming on here and chatting to you all, but had a lovely April shutting off from the world & just being. Hope you're all ok."
Marriage Registration Questions
Earlier this month, a tabloid reported that Stacey and Joe have not yet formally registered their marriage, sparking speculation. Shortly after, Stacey was photographed wearing her engagement ring but no wedding band. A source told the Daily Mail: "They have six kids. If you look back at when they actually got married, it was just like a whirlwind, baby after baby. They just haven't got round to it yet." This followed news that filming for their family reality TV show, Stacey & Joe, had been paused due to tensions at home. The Daily Mail revealed that the crew was booked in December to start filming, but tensions at Pickle Cottage became increasingly difficult to manage behind the cameras, with an insider stating "there have been problems between Stacey and Joe." Filming has since resumed, with Stacey spotted shooting scenes at Scotts Tulip Farm in Brentwood, near their £1.2 million home, Pickle Cottage.
Show Renewed for Third Season
The BBC announced last week that Stacey & Joe has been renewed for a third season, continuing to follow the couple's blended family as they navigate their day-to-day lives at Pickle Cottage with their children: Rex, Rose, and Belle.
