Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash 'major baby bombshell' as pal speaks out
A source revealed that Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash's family could be growing again.
Stacey Solomon and husband Joe Swash recently enjoyed a loved up holiday with their family in Turkey which has sparked rumours that the pair might be planning to expand their family.
The couple share three children together - Rex, five, Rose, three and Belle, two. Stacey has two sons from previous relationships, 17-year-old Zachary and 12-year-old Leighton, and Joe has one son Harry, 17, from a previous relationship.
Stacey and Joe were seen looking overjoyed as they relaxed at a luxury resort in Antalya.
Although their family is already bustling, insiders claim the pair adore parenthood so much that they're open to the idea of welcoming another little one. "The idea of another baby is never off the table completely," revealed a source.
They continued: "Stacey has been an amazing mum since she was 17 and she loves her kids and Joe more than anything. They've both got so much love to give and Joe is the best, most hands-on dad. They would have another baby if the time was right, but their lives are so busy. They've talked about Joe having a vasectomy but even then they've joked about it being reversible. No one would be surprised if a number seven came along."
However, back in August 2023, 35-year-old Stacey seemed to rule out the possibility of having more children, the Express reports. She said: "Me and Joe spoke about it when we had one night away. We could not have any more kids. At this point, we are struggling, to say the least, to be good parents and try to work and do everything else in between. So no, not right now."
Only last month, 43-year-old Joe hinted he might consider having a vasectomy, saying: "I think the snip could be on the cards. I'm trying to fight it, but it's a losing battle. Stacey keeps telling me it's reversible, and that's a big hint!"
It seems, however, that the couple may have since had a change of heart. In a 2024 Instagram video capturing their youngest Belle, taking her first steps, Stacey wrote: "What happened to my baby? Why am I broody?" She went on to share: "I can honestly say my favourite thing in the whole wide world is being a mum. I just get so much joy from watching our little ones grow."
Devoted dad Joe appears to feel the same way, as he previously admitted: "We're slightly addicted to babies - it's so nice to be needed. You think, 'Six has to be it,' but I'd never say never."
He continued: "The baby bit goes so fast and then, before you know it, they're toddlers. Then you yearn for babies again."
Despite their light-hearted bickering often captured on their BBC reality show Stacey and Joe, an insider insists that life at Pickle Cottage remains as peaceful as ever.
The source stated: "Of course they bicker and fall out, but they always come back together as a team. They know from their own upbringings, which weren't always easy, that a good relationship takes work and they've never forgotten that.
"Even with the children and their hectic lifestyle, during their downtime, they understand they must continue investing time and effort to maintain a strong marriage, and that's precisely what they do."
"Stacey only desires to be with Joe and he shares identical feelings about her, so they'll do everything possible to ensure they remain united as a team," the source continued.
On their luxurious Turkish holiday, the family stayed at the five-star Regnum The Crown, where rooms start from around £1,000 a night. As they posed for golden-hour snaps on the beach with their children, Stacey looked radiant in an off-the-shoulder satin mini dress, while Joe lovingly kissed her cheek as they strolled along the shoreline.
In additional snapshots, the family pulled amusing expressions at the camera, and Stacey displayed her sculpted physique in a black bikini whilst standing poolside. "I am actually so proud of myself because I've stuck to my weight training consistently since February," she shared on Instagram.
In another adorable photograph she posed with Rose and Belle, whose swimwear all matched with the caption: "Why does matching with my girlies make me so happy?"
However, the mum found herself having to defend the trip after she was accused of "blagging" it. "This is the third time I’ve come back here,” she wrote on Instagram. "This wasn’t a free holiday. I just love this place so much and think it deserves the BEST reviews and tags ever because it’s just incredible."
She called it their "happy place" and added: "I have NEVER been someone who goes back to the same place every year, but it’s perfect for all our children and their different ages."
Stacey and Joe began their relationship in 2016 and later tied the knot in July 2022 at their Essex home.

Even if they decide not to have another biological child, they've both spoken of their hopes to foster in the future. Stacey previously revealed: "I would love to one day foster as well, when we are older and all the kids are grown up and moved out, that would be our dream."
Joe agrees, once saying: "Fostering is something that me and Stacey have talked about and would love to do… we’d love to give something back, you know?"
He continued: “Touch wood, we’re both healthy enough and fit enough. We’ll have to wait until the time comes, but we’re open to the option.”
