Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash have their hands full as they raise six children while juggling non-stop working lives.

Now, a source has told new that as the couple both rise to the top in their careers, it's all about striking that perfect balance.

"Stacey and Joe are like ships passing in the night at the moment. They're both so busy with work right now and taking up every opportunity that comes their way," claimed the source.

"They both know that they are at the top of their game careerwise and both of them are desperate to secure a great future for their kids." Stacey, 34, is mum to sons Zachary, 16, and Leighton, 12, from previous relationships, while she has Rex, four, Rose, two, and 14-month-old Belle with Joe, 42, who is also dad to 16-yearold son Harry.

While the couple are doting parents and often share adorable insights into family life on Instagram, becoming a blended family and looking after such a big brood - was never going to be straightforward.

Opening up about the struggles of creating a dynamic that works for them, Stacey said in 2022, "The blended family situation has been a rocky road. That has never been easy. We have always had to work really hard to make sure everyone feels secure."

Despite appearing to have succeeded on that front, Stacey and Joe have been kept extremely busy since Belle's birth last February.

Stacey has returned to the small screen with her Channel 4 programme Stacey Solomon's Renovation Rescue and her BBC show Sort Your Life Out. She also launched a new childrenswear collection with Primark this month.
