Steve-O Breaks His Silence on His six-month romance with Solomon, during which he abruptly ended the relationship in a way he now deeply regrets

In his recently released memoir A Hard Kick in the Nuts, Steve-O, the renowned star of the Jackass franchise, opened up about his past relationship with TV personality Stacey Solomon. The comedian and stunt performer, best known for his wild antics on Jackass, revealed the emotional aftermath of his six-month romance with Solomon in 2015, during which he abruptly ended the relationship in a way he now deeply regrets.

Steve-O admits that his behavior, particularly in the way he ended the relationship, was impulsive and thoughtless. Describing the relationship with Stacey as one where he “lavished her with attention,” he confesses that after getting what he wanted, he “broke it off,” leaving her and her children behind without any explanation. “I’d become not only part of her life, but also her kids’ lives too. And then – poof – I was gone,” he reflects in his memoir. His sudden departure left Stacey heartbroken, and Steve-O admits that it was a decision he still regrets.

A History of Ghosting and Regret

The 48-year-old stuntman, whose real name is Stephen Glover, admits in his book that this was a pattern in his past relationships. He shares that he had a tendency to become intensely involved in relationships, only to lose interest and “ghost” his partners. “I’d meet some woman, pour on the charm to convince her I really cared about her (which I invariably thought I did), sleep with her a few times, then lose interest and ghost,” he writes. This behavior, he acknowledges, was part of his struggle with sex addiction, which he has since worked through in his recovery journey.

Despite this history, Steve-O now sees his treatment of Stacey as a significant low point. He admits that he feels guilty for leaving without a proper explanation, especially considering the connection he had with her and her children. “To this day, I still beat myself up about the way it went down,” he wrote, expressing regret for his actions.

A Lesson in Self-Awareness and Growth

In addition to his reflections on the breakup, Steve-O also spoke about the growth and self-awareness he has gained through therapy and his recovery from addiction. He recognizes that his past behavior was deeply hurtful, and through his journey of self-discovery, he has become more conscious of the way he treats others. This chapter of his life and his regrets serve as a form of accountability for Steve-O, who now works to repair his relationships and be more thoughtful in his interactions.

He also acknowledged that Stacey, who has since moved on with her partner Joe Swash, bears him no ill will. Steve-O said he believes Stacey is “a happy person” and doesn’t hold any grudges, despite the way things ended between them. While Stacey has gone on to marry Joe Swash and start a family, Steve-O is now engaged to stylist Lux Wright, showing that both parties have moved on and found happiness.
