Stacey Solomon is preparing to go on maternity leave as she awaits the arrival of her baby girl with fiancé Joe Swash. A source close to the star has told new she wants to take full advantage of the break this time around and put her family first.

“Stacey and Joe have just reevaluated everything – life is just too short,” our source revealed. “They’ve got their gorgeous home and Stacey is so happy now. She’s not as focused on her career and works like she was before.”

“She has realized what’s important and Joe has had a lot of influence on that,” they added.

Stacey, 31 – who is mum to two-year-old son Rex with Joe, 39, as well as sons Leighton, nine, and Zachary, 13, from previous relationships – admitted she was feeling “really grateful” as she made her final appearance on Loose Women ahead of the birth.
