After two years of planning their special day, Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash married each other in July 2022.
The couple, who got engaged in 2020, postponed their wedding first due to the pandemic and then because Stacey was pregnant with their daughter Rose.
After six years of dating, they finally tied the knot in a private wedding in front of family and friends at their £1.2million Essex mansion, nicknamed Pickle Cottage.
As Stacey celebrates her 33rd birthday today (October 4), here's a look at their relationship timeline from first meeting years before dating to their engagement and family life in their "forever home".
When did Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash meet?
Stacey Solomon met EastEnders star Joe Swash back in 2020 when she won I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!
Joe, who also won the show in 2018, was hosting the ITV2 spin-off in Australia when Stacey was crowned Queen of the Jungle.
The pair became friends, but didn't date until much later, as Stacey was already in a relationship at the time.
Joe later admitted that he fancied the X Factor star, but said the timing wasn't right.
When did Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash start dating?
Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash were rumoured to be dating in 2016, after Stacey split from Jackass star Steve-O.
The pair confirmed their romance soon after and made their first red carpet appearance together at a Game Of Thrones screening.
Stacey later joined her boyfriend to host the I’m A Celeb spin-off later that year.
She spoke to Hello! in 2017, saying: "It’s going really, really well. I’m so happy. Everyone says we’re made for each other. We are like the same person, we come from really similar backgrounds and we’ve got so much in common. He’s absolutely lovely, I’m so lucky."
In 2019, after three years together, the couple bought their first house together. And on Christmas Eve 2020, Joe proposed to Stacey in a romantic woodland setting, having decorated Stacey's "favourite place in the world" with white flowers before asking her to be his wife.
How many children do Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash have?
Stacey Solomon have two children together. They welcomed their first children, son Rex, in May 2019.
Joe announced the birth of his son and gushed about his partner, sharing a picture of Stacey in a hospital bed with their baby, writing: "I’m lost for words to describe how I’m feeling. So for now, I’m going to spend the next few days and the rest of my life falling more in love with these two humans. I didn’t think it possible but, today I witnessed the impossible. My partner, My love, my life, you are a super human. I am forever in awe."
In 2021, shortly after moving into their Essex mansion, which they call their "forever home," the couple announced they were expecting a second child together.
They welcomed daughter Rose in October 2021, on Stacey's birthday.
Stacey posted about her daughter's birth, with a snap of the whole family with their hands on Rose, writing: "She’s Here. Born at Pickle Cottage on mummy’s birthday. Our little girl… Happy birthday my darling daughter… We all love you more than you could ever imagine."
The pair also have kids from previous relationships as well, including Stacey’s two sons, Zachary, 14, from her relationship with Dean Cox, and Leighton, 10, from her relationship with Aaron Barham, and Joe's son Harry, 14 with former fiancée Emma Sophocleous.
