Stacey Solomon posts touching message to her son on his birthday

Popular TV presenter and personality Stacey Solomon has celebrated her eldest son Zachary's 14th birthday with a sweet and touching message. The 32-year-old took to Instagram to credit Zachary for changing her life and being her "sole purpose".

Stacey had Zachary when she was 17 years old with her then-boyfriend Dean Cox and went on to have her second son Leighton with her ex-fiance Aaron Barnham. She is now engaged to fellow TV personality and I'm A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here! star Joe Swash and in 2021 had her second child with him and first girl, Rose Opal Esme Solomon-Swash.

Saying that her life would have never turned out the same without Zachary and addressing her teen pregnancy, Stacey said: "The truth is you changed my whole life. I could never have comprehended the light and love you would bring. At 17 years old the things they said about us, what they didn't know was that you were my beginning, my reason, my sole purpose to get up and do my absolute best."

She went on to say how proud she was of Zachary and shared a rare video of Zachary along with the post. Many of her famous friends including Davina McCall and Mrs Hinch, you can read her latest cleaning hack here, also commented on the post.

Davina said: "Oh this is so lovely, how perfect you have been for each other." Mrs Hinch said: "I am in tears Stace, happy birthday to dear Zachary! So precious xxx"

Nadia Sawalha said: "He is one special boy. Happy birthday Zak!" Joe also commented saying: "Happy birthday son. Thank you for being such a special man. We love you."
