Stacey Solomon has revealed that she will not be taking Joe Swash's name if they get married - and would in fact prefer him to take hers. Stacey has been dating Joe since 2015 and is definitely ready to marry him - but she will not be following certain traditions when they do tie the knot.
The mum-of-two made the admission on Loose Women in a discussion about a rising trend in men taking their wife's name instead of the other way around.

Discussing her own surname, she said, "I think it’s a great name to take. I think he’d be lucky to be part of the Solomon brand!"
She even revealed that she would never take his surname, adding, "I love my name so much - I wouldn’t want to take his!"
But when Nadia suggested she took a double barrelled surname and become Stacey Swash-Solomon, Stacey burst out, "That's awful!"

She added, "I always want to be Stacey Solomon and it makes me proud because I love my family."
Well, you can't argue with that!
But Stacey also has another, more practical reason behind not changing her name - her two sons from previous relationships.
She explained, "Joe wouldn’t take my name, he’s got a child and his child has his surname.
"My children have my surname and we want to remain the same as our children," before joking, "Plus I love my name, it’s so much better than Joe’s."
