Alongside a selection of pictures, she wrote: "Sweet Dreams Theo.
"The best friend we could have ever wished for. Our hearts are broken. Yesterday at home in our arms we had to say goodnight to our Theo. 11 wonderful years. We were so lucky to love you Fifi and we will never stop. My lap has never felt so empty. I miss you so much already. My little girl.
"But oh my goodness the memories and the love you brought into our lives. Thank you for everything Theo. For protecting me and the boys when we needed it most. For loving us no matter what and for holding on for so long and waiting to meet your little sister Rose."
The TV star gave birth to her daughter Rose, her youngest child, on October 4, which was also her 32nd birthday. She and her fiance, Joe Swash, have a son, Rex, and Solomon has two sons, Zachary and Leighton, from previous relationships.
She thanked Theo for being a "best friend" to Rex and said "the boys have had the best protector in the whole wide world".
"Even though Rex is only little I know him, Zachary and Leighton will never ever forget you."
The Loose Women presenter ended her post writing: "Sleep tight my beautiful little lady."
In an update to her followers, Stacey shared a picture of her and Rose on Christmas Day.
She said: "Rose’s First Christmas. With all that happened over Christmas i didn’t take any photos.
"But Joe got this one I love it so much, I didn’t want 2022 to sneak up on me or Roses first Christmas to pass by before I got to share it.
"I hope you all have had a lovely Christmas. And are enjoying this in betweeny bit where no one knows what day it is.
"Thank you all so much for your kind, heartfelt messages for Theo.
"They’ve brought me so much comfort when I really needed it so I’m truly grateful. Love you all lots and lots."
