Stacey Solomon admits she ‘can’t cope’ with her five children as she rules out more with Joe Swash
STACEY Solomon has opened up about her family life and revealed she does not plan on having any more kids.
The 33-year-old is mum to Zachary, 15, Leighton, 10, Rex, four, 23-month-old Rose and six-month-old Belle.
The former Loose Women panellist is also step-mum to Harry, 16, through her marriage to EastEnders star Joe Swash.
Her eldest children are from previous relationships, while her younger three are with Joe.
Speaking to the Mirror Stacey candidly discussed how she and Joe struggle to find time for romance in their life due to their many children.
She said: “I think me and Joe are in our non-romantic era. It is important just to get time for us, but we’re at that stage in our life where that’s not really possible
“We recently went to a friend’s wedding and had a night together, which was really lovely, but outside of that it’s once or twice a year that happens.”
She also revealed that she and Joe don’t want any more children, she continued: “We don’t want any more – we cannot cope with it.
“Yeah, we wanted all these kids and we’re so grateful to have them. So we will get romantic… but in 20 years’ time.”
Stacey previously admitted that she’s been taking every precaution to avoid getting pregnant.
The star made the confession after returning from a romantic mini-break with Joe and finding they are incredibly “loved up”.
“I got to say, me and Joe had the best time together,” she said on Instagram.
“I think sometimes, when you’re in the thick of it and we’ve got all the kids and I’m working and then he’s working and then we’re tag teaming it, it all gets a bit tense.
“So yeah, that little 36 hours together has just made me love him so much. Not that I didn’t love him before!”
Joe then appeared and Stacey told him that she “forgets” how funny he is when they’re busy with the everyday stresses of being parents.
But she added: “We are on a mini-break high and really loving each other. We were kissing yesterday and the boys were like, ‘Urgh! You disgust me!’
“Oh, for those of you messaging me saying is this baby number six – no, no no! Don’t worry, we’re taking every precaution possible to make sure that doesn’t happen!”
