Last updated 17th Mar 2019
Loose Women star Stacey Solomon is expecting her first baby with long-term partner Joe Swash. The pair, who announced their happy news in February, both have children from previous relationships, but are about to become parents to their first child together.
After Joe broke the news on his Instagram with an adorable post, Stacey has now revealed what his REAL reaction was after she told him the news. In an interview with Fabulous magazine, Stacey revealed that they'd both been a bit surprised when the test came back positive.
She said, "I showed him the positive pregnancy test and he laughed, like, 'Are you joking? But I haven’t seen you in ages!' So, yeah, we were both quite shocked.
"We were conscious that it's what we wanted, but we weren’t specifically looking at a time for it to happen, so it was a really lovely surprise - he was over the moon and it was just lovely actually."
Speaking out about whether she'd like to have another boy - Stacey and Joe already have three sons between them - or whether she'd like a girl, the former I'm A Celebrity! winner said that she initially thought it would be nice to have a girl before changing her mind.
"But then I started to worry – what if it is?" she joked. "I don’t know girls! I know how to do boys. I’ve known boys for 11 years!" adding that the boys all want a little brother, joking that they're at at an age "where they’re like, 'Eugh, girls!'"
Becoming serious for a moment, Stacey added that as long as the baby was healthy, they didn't mind what gender it is.
Joe first announced the pregnancy in his typical cheeky way on 22nd February, sharing a series of photos of Stacey napping. He wrote, 'Have been driving myself mad thinking that she’s bored senseless of me and can’t stand to be awake for longer than 10 minutes of my company...
'So you can imagine my delight to find out that she still loves me and my company very much she’s just been growing a baby. I can’t begin to describe how happy we are to be able to share this wonderful news.
'We’ve been so blessed with 3 incredible children that we’ve had the privilege of raising and we are forever grateful to have the chance to become parents to another wonderful child. It’s all very overwhelming and emotional and we couldn’t be happier right now.'
