Stacey Solomon said she had taken oldest child Zach Pokemon hunting in Paris as a special mother and son treat for his 17th birthday
Stacey Solomon revealed she had spent some rare alone time with oldest son Zach weeks after they had a blazing row on telly.
The Sort Your life Out star, 35, and her 17-year-old appeared to have patched things up as they spent two days on holiday together in Paris. Mum and son were in the French capital to go Pokemon hunting as a birthday treat for Zach.
Posting a series of happy snaps with her firstborn in front of iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame, Stacey wrote in an emotional post: “2 days with my Zach. Why are these the best pics ever? they make me so happy! Me & you Zachy.”
She continued: “We went Pokemon hunting yesterday & today, it’s something we’ve done for years & have never been to a proper city Go Fest. So for his birthday this year we got tickets & we have been counting down the days. Having a young adult son like Zach is just the absolute dream & spending time with just us two doesn’t happen often but when it does my soul regenerates. To the moon & back Zach! BEST POKEMON TRIP EVER!”

Fans were quick to comment underneath the post, with one writing: “Aww! I love this! Hope you caught em all.” Another commented: “Awww lots of beautiful memories made both of you. Looks like fun to happy birthday to your zach.”
A third posted: “Such special quality time with Zach, omg how tall he is now!” A fourth said: “What a beautiful young man he’s turning into so down to earth and just lovely.” A fifth fan chimed in: “Used to love mum and son days out and trips but then they go and get married and have their own kids and you miss those days so much.”
While a sixth suggested: “Stacey you and Zack should do Celebrity Race Across The World. You would have a ball.” More of Stacey’s six million Instagram followers seemed to agree and replied: “YES. BEST RECOMMENDATION EVER!”
The trip comes weeks after Stacey and Zach clashed in scenes aired on her new BBC reality show, Stacey & Joe, back in April. In the opening episode, mum Stacey is seen waking Zach up the day after she allowed him to throw a party for his pals that went on well into the early hours.
But it turned into an intense argument when the teenager lost his temper with mum Stacey and swore at her on camera. Stacey told Zach she would wake his friends up if he didn’t help with the clean up operation and take the rubbish out and said: “Right, it’s not cool and it’s not clever. I am happy you had a great time but the party is over!” She then asked: “Shall I let the boys [Zach’s friends] know that they are ready for their chores too?”
Zach – who had previously promised to be up by 11am to do it – hit back: “No! What are you doing – you’re p***ing me off!”. This made Stacey lose her cool as she fumed: “If you swear at me one more time Zach. No, I’m not joking!” She added: “Just because there are people here doesn’t mean I won’t have that argument with you.”
Stacey gave birth to Zach when she was 17 before she found fame on The X Factor. She is also mum to 12-year-old son Leighton from a previous relationship. After meeting husband Joe Swash on the set of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! – which she won in 2010 – she went on to have three more children.
Son Rex turned six in May. In an emotional Instagram post Stacey wrote: “Rex is 6. I can’t even cope how fast that went. Swipe for how it started. Rexy you are such a special boy. You fill the house with happiness. You make us laugh every day. And your smile has always and continues to light up our days. Keep growing into the most amazing little man Rexy. To the moon & back again darling.”
The couple also share daughters Rose, three, and two-year-old Belle. While Joe has an older son called Harry who isn’t in the show, who is nearly 18. Though their home Pickle Cottage is full to the brim with kids, dogs and their pet ducks, Stacey says Joe would like even more kids – but she isn’t so keen.
She shared: “Joe would like me to be a baby machine! I quit! I quit. My pelvic floor is a shambles. The whole of my back is screaming at me. I can’t do it again.” But Stacey hasn’t ruled out having more kids in the future, adding: “I would love to, maybe when they’re a bit older, and they’re all independent. If we’re lucky enough and if we were privileged enough to have a baby then, that’s when I would consider it. But right now, I’m finally feeling like I’m recovering from three consecutive births. It’s a lot.”
