Stacey Solomon shares unconventional date night

Stacey Solomon has shared sad details about her unconventional date nights with husband Joe Swash. The TV personality revealed the lengths she had to go to so that she and Joe could call their time together a ‘date’.

On Monday (22 September) the former X Factor star shared two smiley pictures of her and her husband to Instagram and captioned the post: “Spent a whole day with my husband.”

Though she did not share what they did together, Stacey added that they were working, but she still thought of their time together as a “date night”. Stacey also admitted that this was only their third date of the year, meaning they’ve averaged at one date every three months, one of which was a day of work.

“Working, but I’m still counting this as date night No3 of 2025. Love you bub,” the star wrote. Stacey and Joe started dating in 2016, after meeting on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! four years earlier. They got engaged on Christmas Eve in 2020 and were married from their home in 2022.

The couple have three children together – one son and two daughters. Stacey also had two sons from previous relationships and Joe has a son from one as well.

With their children, the couple have a reality TV show called Stacey & Joe. The show follows their lives together in Pickle Cottage, touching on everything from their parenting styles to rows with each other.

The show was loved by fans and, as a result, nominated for a National Television Award this year. The only problem was that Stacey was also nominated for her show, Sort Your Life Out, in the same category. Just hours before the ceremony, Stacey spoke on Magic Radio about the “ludicrous” situation.

She said: “They’ve put Sort Your Life Out and Stacey & Joe in the same blummin’ category for some reason – we’re up against each other, which is absolutely ludicrous!

“But you know what, I’m so grateful to just be going, it’s so nice to be shortlisted and nominated, knowing that it’s a public vote. All our family are going to be there, it’s the first time our family has got to go to anything like this, so it’s going to be amazing no matter what happens!”

Despite the potentially awkward nominations, Stacey later took to Instagram to add that she was “grateful” just to be nominated. “It’s NTA day. Just got home from work, now it’s time to get ready. Just wanted to say, no matter what, I’m so grateful to be nominated for an NTA,” she wrote.

“The fact that we are going tonight with our whole family is so special, I can’t even put it into words. It’s voted for by YOU so thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving us this moment. We will never forget it and NEVER take it for granted. To the moon and back everyone x.”
