Take a look at her beloved children below.
Zachary
Her eldest son, Zachary, is 18-years-old and was born on 21st March 2008 to an 18-year-old Stacey and her childhood sweetheart Dean Cox. Stace famously gushed over her son at her audition for The X Factor in 2009, capturing the hearts of the nation.
Zach features heavily on BBC reality show Stacey & Joe, where viewers also got to meet his dad Dean.
The teenager is also prominent on his mum's Instagram page, where she often gushes about his kindness. As he celebrated his 18th birthday in March 2026, Stacey wrote: 'Today is all about you Zachary. 18 wonderful years of you 😭 We are SO lucky. Now let’s go OUT out @zachsolomon08 🥲🖤.'
Leighton
Stacey welcomed Leighton on 5th May 2012 with her former fiancé, Aaron Barnham, making him currently 13-years-old. Leighton also appears on Stacey & Joe, with Stacey revealing her youngest son Rex really looks up to his big brother, even wanting the same haircut as him.
Although he doesn't feature as much on her Instagram page, Stacey has revealed it's because he's at the age where he finds her 'embarrassing'.
Rex Toby Francis
Stacey gave birth to Rex on 23rd May 2019, with Joe posting a tribute to Stace and their newborn on her Instagram. He wrote: '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.'
They celebrated Rex's sixth birthday in 2025, with Stacey writing: '🛞 Rex is 6 🛞 I can’t even cope how fast that went 🥹 Swipe for how it started 😭 Rexy you are such a special boy. You fill the house with happiness. You make us laugh every day. And your smile has always and continues to light up our days. Keep growing into the most amazing little man Rexy. To the moon & back again darling 🥹'. (sic)
Rose Opal Esmè
After three boys, Stacey gave birth to her first daughter — on her own birthday! Rose was born on 4th October 2021 at their home, Pickle Cottage. Stace took to Instagram to announce the arrival, writing: 'We all love you more than you could ever imagine. Your brothers, your daddy and I are so in love. Thank you for the most incredible 9 months. Now we cannot wait for the rest of our lives with you…🖤'. (sic)
For her fourth birthday in 2025, Stacey and Rose enjoyed a special day together, travelling to London, shopping in Hamleys and Selfridges, and having lunch in The Shard.
Stacey shared a video of their fun day to Instagram, alongside the caption: 'I can’t cope with this video 😭 We decided to treat ourselves & have a day in London together for our birthday 🥹 it was THE BEST 😭 Rose your happiness & joy fills my soul. And sharing a birthday with you is EVERYTHING. Thank you for the best day little one. Happy 4 years 🖤 To the moon & back. 🖤'. (sic)
Belle
Stacey and Joe welcomed their third child together, Belle, on 7th February 2023, with Stacey announcing the birth on Instagram. She wrote: 'Welcome to the world beautiful girl, thank you for the last few months in my tummy, we can’t wait to love you forever and ever we are so grateful we get to be your family 🥹'. (sic)
Celebrating her little girl's third birthday in 2026, Stacey wrote on Instagram: '🪻Birthday Belle🪻 And just like that our littlest pickle is THREE 🥲 Time is a thief. 🥹 Happy birthday darling girl. The most confident, hilarious, sweet, strong, happy little pickle. The smallest but definitely the most mighty! If you ever wondered who the boss of pickle cottage is, she’s right here 😂 To the moon and back beautiful Belle. And here’s to 3 years of me not being pregnant 😂 🙏🏼' (sic)
Harry
Stacey is also stepmum to Joe's son Harry, whom he shares with his ex-fiancée Emma Sophocleous. He was born on 16th June 2007, making him currently 18-years-old. Stacey has previously spoken about why Harry doesn't appear on her Instagram page very often, saying on her Instagram Story in 2019: "I get these comments quite a lot, asking about all of our children in my photos.
"Unfortunately it’s not something I’m able to do, otherwise I’d do it all the time. All the kids are a massive part of our lives, obviously, and we love them all equally and adore them and, behind the scenes, they’re very much on every stocking, in every book, in every photo.
"But publicly that’s not something that I can do and I totally respect that. We respect everyone’s wishes, we’re a blended family and sometimes that’s a bit more complicated than it seems."
Does she want more kids?
After giving birth to her youngest child, Stacey told fans that she'd 'love' to add to her family, whilst joking that her husband Joe Swash will be 'off to get a vasectomy' after seeing her say it.
Responding to a fan who asked if she had finished having babies or would like to have more, Stacey wrote: 'I can honestly say, my favourite thing in the world is being a mum. I just get so much joy from watching our little ones grow & getting to be a part of their world.
'I would love more. Whatever will be will be. But omg I love them 😭 (Joe will be off to get a vasectomy when he sees this)'. (sic)
