Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash revealed a small and intimate wedding won’t be on the cards when they eventually get married.
The English power couple regularly joke about tying the knot and Joe recently said that he wanted something low key.
However, Stacey told The Social Media that it will be a big affair when the time comes: “I don’t know if Joe and I could do small and intimate because our families are so big.”
The pair, who have been dating since 2015, are yet to officially get engaged but speculation continues to grow as their romance blossoms: “Joe and I joke about getting married a lot but we don’t actually properly discuss it because we are so happy about where we are as a couple.
“We are so pleased about where we are, we are not thinking about getting married.”
Stacey recently launched a brand new clothing collection with Primark following the success for her range last season.
She told us: “I absolutely loved doing the collection last year and I had so much fun with it. I couldn’t believe how successful it was, and I am so proud of that.
“When they asked me to do another season, I absolutely agreed.”
Stacey loves to dress her son Zachary, aged 11, and seven-year-old Leighton in the same outfits, and she also does the same with Joe. Whether he knows it or not.
“I try to sneakily make him match with us,” joked Stacey. “He will ask me to choose between a white and grey top and I will think, ‘Oh, I will put all of this in grey’ and we are all out in public in the same outfit before he knows it.”
Irish men aren’t renowned for shopping and picking out clothes and Stacey reckons that Joe has some Irish blood in him.
She revealed: “I think Joe is half Irish, he is not very good at choosing clothes.
“His wardrobe is like what I expect Johnny Bravo’s looks like, one hundred of the same t-shirt and jeans and then one check shirt that he ties around his waist every time.”
