Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash appeared happier than ever as they came together to celebrate a very special family milestone following recent speculation about their relationship.
The couple hosted a lavish pool party at their Essex home, Pickle Cottage, for their son Rex, who turned seven over the weekend. Surrounded by family, friends and his schoolmates, the birthday boy enjoyed a colourful celebration that looked like every child’s dream.
Stacey shared a series of joyful photos from the party on Instagram, giving fans a glimpse at the fun-filled setup. The pool area was decorated with bright inflatables shaped like fruit, unicorns and flamingos, while a sparkling disco ball backdrop covered in colourful balloons added an extra party touch.
One sweet family photo showed Stacey posing with Rex, Joe and their two youngest daughters, Rose, four, and Belle, three, as they smiled together in front of the decorations.
In an emotional tribute to her son, Stacey wrote: “I cannot believe you’re 7, Rex. Where did that time go? 7 wonderful years of you.”
She added that she loved Rex and his friend Mila, who was also celebrating her seventh birthday at the joint party, “to the moon and back.”
Fans quickly praised the heartwarming celebration, with many saying the photos showed what family is really about. Others wished Rex and Mila a happy birthday and called the party “amazing.”
The happy family display comes after weeks of speculation surrounding Stacey and Joe’s relationship. Questions were raised after Stacey was seen without her wedding ring, while reports also focused on the fact that their home ceremony had not yet been made legally binding.
Stacey recently addressed the rumours directly, explaining that she and Joe had always planned to have a religious blessing and ceremony at home before legally marrying at a later date. She said their busy schedules had delayed the registry office plans.
Joe also publicly supported Stacey earlier this month after she appeared at Britain’s Got Talent live semi-finals. Sharing a proud message online, he called himself a “proud husband” and praised her for “smashing it.”
Despite the rumours, the couple’s latest family celebration showed them united, smiling and focused on what matters most — their children.
For Stacey and Joe, Rex’s birthday was more than just a party. It was a reminder that behind the headlines, family remains at the heart of their world.
