Stacey Solomon has insisted she will not let divorce rumours damage her relationship with Joe Swash, despite admitting their marriage is not always easy.
The TV star, 36, has faced months of speculation that her relationship with Joe, 44, is under strain, especially after fans noticed she had been pictured without her wedding ring.
The rumours grew stronger after Stacey shared a Mother’s Day family photo without Joe or her ring, sparking fresh claims that the couple could be going through a difficult patch.
But Stacey has now brushed off the speculation, saying she refuses to let public gossip affect what she and Joe know to be true.
Speaking openly, the mum-of-five admitted they are like any other couple, with moments of closeness and moments where she wants space.
She said there are times she cannot wait to see Joe, and other times when she wants him to “stay away”, adding that real relationships are full of highs and lows.
A source claimed Stacey is tired of the constant divorce rumours and finds online comments difficult, while Joe is said to be more relaxed and tells her not to pay attention.
The insider added that the couple have had a tough year, with the pressure of work, children and public attention weighing heavily on them.
Stacey’s busy career and role as the family’s main earner have reportedly made things more complicated, while Joe has been focusing heavily on family life at home.
The pair first met in 2010, began dating in 2016 and held a wedding ceremony at their Essex home, Pickle Cottage, in 2022.
Despite the noise surrounding their relationship, Stacey and Joe are reportedly determined to make things work and are planning to spend more quality time together.
For now, Stacey appears clear on one thing: rumours may follow them, but she is not ready to let them define her marriage.
