They may come across as the most loved-up couple in the spotlight, but Stacey Solomon reminds fans that her marriage to Joe Swash is anything but perfect.
The couple tied the knot in 2022 and have three children together, Rex, Rose and Belle. Stacey has two older sons, Zachary and Leighton, from previous relationships and Joe, a son, and Harry, with Emma Sophocleous.
With a full house, life can be busy for the two stars, and while they do have some help from close relatives, Stacey admits that they are just like any other couple.

Chatting with Good Housekeeping this week, the former X-Factor contestant was asked about the secret to the ‘perfect marriage.’
However, Stacey soon clarified that this ‘idea’ is nothing but a myth.
‘Joe and I argue all the time over the stuff that’s got to be done. I feel like we’re in that era: five kids, three of whom are young, so everything’s a kerfuffle,’ she told the publication.

However, despite a house that may be chaotic most days of the week, causing Joe and Stacey to butt heads, she reassures readers that they are as strong as ever.
‘We have the same morals and values, so even if we do have a couple of months of F***king hell, I can’t even look at you right now, we’ll eventually remember why we got together in the first place.’
Laughing, she said the reason why they still get on all these years later is that in the beginning, they liked each other, which is a strong base for a relationship. No matter what happens, no matter how tough a situation gets, underneath it all, they still love each other’s quirky elements.
With Christmas just around the corner, Stacey is getting her house ready for the big day and gave her 6.1 million followers a sneak peek during the week of what has been done.
The presenter went all out this year with a red-themed Christmas tree in her front room as well as several artificial flowers, ribbons and berries!
