Stacey Solomon gushes about fiancé Joe Swash as she marks one year since engagement

Stacey Solomon has posted an emotional tribute to Joe Swash on the anniversary of their engagement.

The 32-year-old shared a throwback photo of herself showing off her huge sparkler after her 39-year-old actor boyfriend popped the question in 2020.

“I can’t believe it’s been One Whole Year. I can not wait to walk down the aisle to you @realjoeswashy with our boys and our little princess. 2022 I can’t wait for you.”

On yesterday’s Loose Women's Christmas Special, Stacey and Joe discussed their wedding plans, including when they'll finally be tying the knot.

The pair had to cancel their wedding plans due to Covid restrictions and then they decided to postpone it until baby Rose could be there as well.

Stacey said: “Get your hat out, Ruth. Yes, we would love, if all goes well because Covid’s still massive and you never know what’s around the corner, but we would love to get married in July next year, we really would.

“It will be so nice to have the boys and Rose there."

Rose was born back in October, on Stacey's 32nd birthday, and she is the family's first daughter.

Stacey has sons Leighton and Zachary from previous relationships and Joe has a son Harry from another, with the pair sharing son Rex and now daughter Rose.

Recently Joe shared some of the family's festive plans after the arrival of baby Rose.

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, he said that he suffers with "present block" and struggles to find the perfect gifts for his loved ones - before going out to panic buy.

But he also made a touching mention to the day he asked the X Factor third-placer to be his bride.

He said: "You know what, sometimes I'm really good at buying Christmas presents, sometimes I'm not," he added, "Like a writer gets writer's block - I have sort of present block where I'm like oh what am I going to get Stacey.

"I suppose last year was pretty special because me and Stacey got engaged on Christmas Eve so probably last year was the best present I've given. There's no topping that this year."

Stacey and Joe met in 2010 when she won I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! and there was a touching nod to that first encounter in her sparkling ring.

Joe opted for two Australian Opals to make up her engagement ring.

Both are incredibly special to Stacey; Opals are her birthstone and Australia is where the couple first fell in love with each other.
