Stacey Solomon has confronted speculation she has quietly separated from husband Joe Swash. The presenter, 36, has been wed to former EastEnders actor Joe, 44, since 2022 but followers started to question whether trouble was brewing earlier this week when Stacey was seen without her wedding band on multiple occasions. The mother appeared on Wednesday's This Morning alongside Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley to talk about her judging role on Britain's Got Talent, but the discussion swiftly shifted to her romantic situation.
Stacey confessed she hadn't even viewed Joe's Mother's Day tribute to her. Ben said: "It was just gorgeous. It was just talking about how you've got this incredible family and how you're doing an amazing job. We love watching the two of you - but there's all these crazy rumours going on at the minute." Stacey, who sported a ring on her wedding finger during the television slot, immediately addressed the speculation directly, as she responded: "What are the rumours?:" as she added: "There's a new rumour each week. I'm terrible. I don't read any of that stuff." Gazing straight into the camera, Stacey said: "Have I not been wearing my ring? I probably took it off to go to the toilet or something, I don't know!"
Stacey then quipped that Joe is too preoccupied building a 'lake' at their residence Pickle Cottage to pay attention. She jested once more: "It's filling up! Maybe I dropped my ring in the lake? With our marriage," prompting laughter from the television presenters. She continued: "What has he been saying? Do you know what, I've got to start checking my social media more!", reports the Mirror.
Despite overlooking Joe's social media update, the Sort Your Life Out presenter did manage to share her own Mother's Day tribute on Instagram dedicated to her children. Alongside the photograph showing Leighton, Zachary, Rex, Rose and Belle all posing proudly with their mum, she maintained "no-one can bring us down", writing: "My Life's Work...When I'm with you I remember what it's all about. No-one can bring us down as long as we have each other.
"Happy Mother's Day to all of the incredible mummas and mother figures being hero's every single day. Thinking of those of you who find today extremely difficult."
In recent photographs, published on the Mirror, the BBC personality was spotted without her wedding ring whilst departing the BBC studios. Wearing a grey cardigan and wrapped up in a navy blue puffer jacket, Stacey's sparkler was noticeably absent. Yet, in what appeared to be a bold gesture just hours before the photos emerged, Stacey was spotted with her wedding ring on whilst gearing up for a hectic day of meetings. Posting on her Instagram story, her ring was clearly visible as she wished her followers a pleasant day.
Last month, Joe attended the TV Choice awards without his wife, despite both he and Stacey being nominated for their documentary. Instead, Joe was accompanied by his stepson, Zachary.
