The Family Recently Debuted Their Very First Christmas Card Together – But Harry’s Absence Didn’t Go Unnoticed
The Loose Women panelist shared a sweet snap of the family dressed up for Christmas festivities, featuring her sons Zachary, Leighton and Rex.
However, fans wondered where Joe’s son Harry was at the time of the photo shoot.
Stacey told fans in an Instagram story:
‘I got loads and loads of comments, and I get these comments quite a lot, asking about all of our children in my photos. Unfortunately it’s not something I’m able to do, otherwise I’d do it all the time.’

‘All the kids are a massive part of our lives, obviously, and we love them all equally and adore them and, behind the scenes, they’re very much on every stocking, in every book, in every photo.’
‘But publicly that’s not something that I can do and I totally respect that. We respect everyone’s wishes, we’re a blended family and sometimes that’s a bit more complicated than it seems. I don’t know if that’s the best way to explain it!’

Is Joe Swash Married?
Currently, Joe Swash and Stacey Solomon are not married, although the pair sparked engagement rumours after the pair posted a stunning sunset pic of the family holidaying in the Maldives.
It turns out the rumours were false, with Stacey spilling the beans to the Loose Women panel:
‘No. First of all, can I just clear up. There’s no ring. Would I get married without you? I Wouldn’t get married in that outfit. And, also, I wouldn’t keep it a secret. I’d be so excited, you’d all be there.
‘We just got dressed up because I wanted to. Obviously, I choose everyone’s clothes. Joe had to meet us out here, I said to Joe make sure you bring a mauve top.’

‘We didn’t get married, I was only there two days.’
No wedding bells just yet then, folks!
