HONEYMOON

While most couples opt to jet off somewhere alone for a bit of one-on-one time for their honeymoon, Stacey Solomon, 33, and Joe Swash, 41, chose to stay home with their beloved family. ‘We are calling it a “homeymoon” because we just wanted to spend it at home with all the kids all summer,’ said Stacey. With a house as nice as Pickle Cottage – which is complete with a swimming pool – we don’t blame them.

SOLO PARENTING AND MILESTONES

Just two months after they tied the knot, Joe had to leave the family home for work. The actor and presenter was away for two weeks filming I’m a Celebrity… South Africa, leaving Stacey to manage their brood alone. What’s more, while Joe was away, daughter Rose, then 11 months, took her first steps. In an emotional post, Stacey shared, ‘I felt so bad Joe being away but she just went from one day standing up and dancing on the spot, to taking a step or two to fully running around like there’s no tomorrow.’
