Bantering back and forth on Celebrity Gogglebox, Joe Swash, 42, teased his partner Stacey Solomon, 34, recalling: "We used to have pillow talk, didn't we?" To which Stacey cheekily said: "We used to sleep in bed together, do you remember that? Before we had three kids in four years! " The couple shared how having Rex, age five, Rose, age two, and Belle of 15 months - along with Stacey's sons Leighton, 12, and Zachary, 16, and Joe's son Harry, 16, - has inevitably impacted their bedtime routines.
In a more heartfelt moment Stacey said during her appearance on the Glad We Had This Chat podcast with host Caroline Hirons: "I'm a phenomenal mum. I'm done with mum guilt. If you're the mum who loves to be out at work, and I'm the mum who's like, oh, I love playing at home. They're both good mums. I don't understand why one is better than the other in my opinion."
She went on to discuss future possibilities too: "Whatever phase of life I'm at, I might be this mum right now. But in two years time, if, let's say, I've decided to stay at home and never work again, I might be like, I want to go back to work. Does that make me a bad mum? No, no, it makes me a human that my children can see that I am still a human being. Not just mum. I'm not a mythical creature with no feelings and no ambitions."
The Loose Women panellist was then asked if she has ever thought about having more children and failed to give a definitive answer but explained that Belle was a complete surprise anyway. She said: "Oh, no. I have. I have and I haven't [thought about more kids.] But even we were shocked at Belle because we weren't planning to have another baby. We were definitely planning a break."
"Rex and Rose were only a couple of years apart and Rose was like six months old. But yeah, well, apparently you only need to have sex once and you'll get pregnant."
