How did Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash meet?

Stacey and Joe first met in 2010, after Stacey won I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here.

Joe was presenting spin-off series, Get Me Out Of Here NOW!, but both were in relationships at the time.

However, when both relationships broke down by 2016, the couple moved their friendship into a romance.

In March 2016 they made their first public appearance together, and a few months later introduced their sons to each other.

That November, they hosted the I’m A Celeb spin-off together.

In October 2018, the couple moved in together, with Stacey stating at several points that she was keen to tie the knot with her beau.

In February 2019, Stacey and Joe made the happy announcement that they were expecting Rex. He was born that May.

Joe proposed to Stacey on Christmas Eve, 2020. They had initially planned to get married in Spring 2021, but postponed the nuptials after finding out she was pregnant.

Stacey later revealed the couple had previously suffered miscarriages after having Rex, but finally felt comfortable sharing her happy news when she heard her girl’s heartbeat.
