Stacey Solomon shared a heartfelt update over the weekend as her daughter, Belle, celebrated her third birthday. The former X Factor contestant regularly shares insights into her home life as she spends time with husband Joe Swash and their children.
To mark their daughter’s birthday, Stacey and Joe shared a joint Instagram post to wish Belle a special day. A post featuring several pictures from a birthday party thrown at their Pickle Cottage home, was captioned: “Birthday Belle. And just like that our littlest pickle is THREE. Time is a thief.
“Happy birthday darling girl. The most confident, hilarious, sweet, strong, happy little pickle. The smallest but definitely the most mighty! If you ever wondered who the boss of pickle cottage is, she’s right here. To the moon and back beautiful Belle. And here’s to three years of me not being pregnant.”
The couple share son Rex and daughters Rose and Belle. Stacey also has older sons Zach with former partner Dean Cox, and Leighton, with ex-fiancé Aaron Barham. The Loose Women star has appeared on our screens regularly through the years after she shot to fame on The X Factor in 2009.
After the party, Stacey posted: “The girls are super excited because daddy is taking them on a special outing today for Belle’s birthday. Rex has got a day out with his cousin Huddy. So I am designated to the clean-up from yesterday and getting the roast on. Hope you have all had a lovely day.”
She shared a video of her eldest son Zach, helping prepare the roast dinner, she said: “I just love him so much. Always count on Zach to help me out. He’s on potato duty.”
Yesterday, Stacey told fans about “drama” after the party. She explained “So Belle absolutely loved her fruitcake and so did all the other children. I’ve only just noticed this, this morning [cake on carpet], which is obviously, clearly, smushed up fruit in the carpet.
“I am going to try and clean this today, and hopefully salvage it.” She also showed stains on a set of chairs, writing: “Oh why did I let fruit in this room.”
The family were recently the focus of a documentary series, showing their lives at home together. After the second series of BBC series Stacey & Joe series finished filming last year, the couple shared a statement.
It said: “The biggest thank you to every single person who watched the first series of Stacey & Joe… We’ve been so grateful for all the lovely messages and we’re so excited to bring out another series with the BBC.”
