They revealed their relationship plans on Stacey and Joe: Full House, a reality series, but they are still fighting a common parenting battle.
Loose Women star Stacey Solomon and her husband Joe Swash have given a realistic perspective on their home life, admitting they have a “constant battle” with their kids. Former EastEnders actor Joe, 43, and Stacey, 35, have six children between them.
Rex, five, Rose, three, and Belle, two, all live with them. Leighton, 12, and Zachary, 17, are Stacey’s two children from previous relationships.
Harry, a son of Harry’s age, was a child of Joe and his ex Emma Sophocleous. When Joe went to court to see his son, the couple split up when their son was very young.
Parenting has become more difficult in recent years, with Stacey and Joe being forced to put their feet up over the relatable issue of screen time. Rex is now only allowed to play games for an hour at the weekend if he behaves and completes his chores at school, which is why they now refer to using the phone as “a privilege.”
In a new interview with Huffington Post, Joe explained his and Stacey’s “battle” with their son and his weekly reward of screen time. He said: “But even that, me and Stacey begrudgingly let him have that.
We keep a watchful eye on what he’s doing and what games he’s playing even though it’s challenging because it’s a constant battle. You are aware of it, but it does concern us.
Joe explained that it’s a balancing act because he is aware that their social life includes a lot of phone access with their older children. He still wants to monitor their usage to make sure they are secure, though.
Joe acknowledges there is “no real right or wrong” with the couple when it comes to using the internet. Every parent “muddling through” and making mistakes, he continued.
Fans of the close-knit family’s life are getting a glimpse into it with their new reality series Stacey &, Joe: Full House, which the couple are known for keeping it real. Their series provides a realistic view of their daily routines, including their hectic careers and homes.
The pair, who tied the knot in 2022, revealed they’ve turned to marriage therapy to keep their relationship on track. A source recently told OK! that Stacey and Joe may have underplayed how big a step having cameras around for every tricky moment would be.
They underestimated how challenging it would be to produce this reality show, the source claimed. Having cameras around and watching it back wasn’t always easy. They won’t deny that the work and commitment to balancing their relationship have been difficult.
The source adds that they are pleased that they made an open letter about couple therapy. They are receiving therapy because they are in love and never want to end their relationship. Yes, there have been ups and downs and a lot of roller coasters, but they both know therapy is the best way to improve their relationship and address their issues.
