Cuteness overload! 😍
After announcing their engagement on Christmas Eve in 2020, Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash have now added to their beloved family, in the form of a super cute sausage dog called Peanut!
Stacey and Joe, who welcomed their first child together in May 2019, took to their social media accounts over the weekend to introduce the new puppy, sharing a super cute snap alongside their son Rex.
Stacey wrote, 'Welcome to our family little one. Another little boy for us all to love. And we love you so very much. Sometimes things just happen for a reason and souls come in to our lives just when they’re meant to. We still haven’t worked out what your name is yet but we know you’ll let us know. We love you puppy 🖤.' (sic)
After sharing a number of adorable videos of Peanut on her Instagram Story, the mum-of-three later shared another cute snap, this time featuring her son Rex, and her older dog Theo.
Announcing that her older boys Zach and Leighton won the name choice competition, Stacey wrote, '💕 Happy Valentine’s Day 💕 lots of love from Theo, The Pickle and PEANUT 💕 The big boys won the name choice 😂 Turns out you all thought peanut was perfect too.
