Stacey Solomon showed off her growing baby bump last week after revealing she is just weeks away from giving birth.
The TV presenter and crafting queen, 33, shared a number of sweet images on Instagram including shots with hubby Joe Swash. The couple admitted they had kept their baby news under wraps so they could “adjust and get excited and enjoy it”.
A source close to Stacey – who is already mum to Zachary, 14, Leighton, 10, Rex, three, and Rose, 14 months – told new how the baby was a “wonderful surprise” after she had ruled out having any more children.
In November 2021, just after Rose was born, Stacey said, “We want to be the best parents we can. And when we were trying to have this baby, it wasn’t the process we thought it would be, so we were just so grateful to even get pregnant. I don’t want to push it any more. This is enough.”
Our source said of the impending arrival, “Stacey didn’t realise she was pregnant until late on but it was a wonderful surprise. She couldn’t be happier.
“They’re rushing around Pickle Cottage and getting it all ready for the baby. The whole family is so excited. It’s going to be a busy household but they’re thrilled. And Stacey doesn’t mind what she has either way – the most important thing is that the baby is healthy.”
Here, as Stacey and Joe, 40, count down the final few weeks until their bundle arrives, we fill you in on everything we know about the pregnancy, including how she kept it secret and why fans think it’s another boy…
