Stacey Solomon enjoys final days of family holiday to Turkey with Joe Swash and kids

Stacey Solomon marked the final days of her idyllic summer holiday with husband Joe Swash and their brood of children with a series of loved-up snaps.

The presenter, 33, and actor Swash, 41, have been enjoying a few days away in Turkey with their kids Zachary, 15, Leighton, 11, Rex, four, Rose, one, and six-month-old Belle.

In one of the images, Solomon and Swash can be seen cuddling on a sun lounger while in another Swash gives his wife of just over a year a piggy back.

The Loose Women star said in the post: “Our last day in paradise… The last ten days have been heaven and I don’t want it all to end. Spending time with my family is just the best thing in world. And this place was just magical.”

The family have been enjoying the sun at the Regnum Carya resort in Antalya, Turkey.

The resort has indoor and outdoor pools with water slides, a spa, private sandy beach, several restaurants and a golf course.

J-Lo performed at the venue in 2019 and it has previously hosted the G-20 summit.

It comes after the Sort Your Life Out host ruled out having more children – admitting that she and Swash are “struggling to be good parents” to their six kids.

As well as Solomon’s five children, Swash has a son Harry, 16, with his former partner Emma Sophocleous.

Reflecting on life as a blended family, Solomon said she won’t be adding to her family right now but said it would be a “dream to foster” when their children have grown up.

Talking to her Instagram last month, the 33-year-old said: “Me and Joe spoke about it when we had one night away. We could not have any more kids.

“At this point we are struggling to say the least to be good parents, and try and work and do everything else in between. So no not right now.”

She continued: “But when we’re older. Because when we went away we were a little bit like, ’Oh god, one day this will be us, just us two’, and we’ve got such a massive family the house is never quiet and we are never on our own.

“And we did say, ‘Oh it will be sad when it’s just us two and all the kids are gone’, so I think I would love to.

“Joe’s mum fosters, and I would love to one day foster as well when we are older and all the kids are grown up and moved out, that would be our dream.”

Previously, Solomon admitted that she is taking “every precaution” to avoid getting pregnant for the sixth time.
