Stacey Solomon: I’d love to marry Joe Swash

Stacey Solomon would "love" to marry Joe Swash.
The 27-year-old TV star has been dating the former ‘EastEnders’ actor for less than two years and is already dreaming of marriage – but, by the same token, Stacey is wary of tying the knot too soon.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, she shared: "We definitely would love to get married, we’re together because we do really genuinely care for each other.
"We’ve not even been going two years and we’ve both got children, so we’re just being really sensible and boring and we just want to take it slowly."
Stacey – who has kids Leighton, five, and Zachary, nine, with previous partners – admitted that for the time being, she’s in no rush to get married.
The TV personality revealed that she and Joe are happy with how things are at the moment, and she no reason to change anything.
Stacey said: "Usually, I am a hopeless romantic and I’m like, ‘Let’s get married, let’s have kids.’ But because me and Joe do value each other and want to make this forever, I think sometimes if you want it to be forever then you have to take it at a certain pace.
"The main thing is that we’re happy, we just really want it to work and we want to take our time with it and put everything into it."
Stacey also said she remains focused on the wellbeing of her children, rather than any wedding plans.
She explained: "For both of us, our children are our main priority and if they’re getting on and they’re coping with it and we’re going at the right pace for them, then there’s less pressure on our relationship.
"We’re just being grown-up and sensible. We’re blending the families. Joe’s little boy is the same age as my eldest so it’s a lovely dynamic, they’re all really good kids.
"He’s got an ex-partner, I’ve got an ex-partner so it does get very complicated, there’s a lot in the middle of it all. We’re just trying to get around that."
