Stacey Solomon has announced she’s engaged to her partner Joe Swash following a festive proposal.
The Loose Women panellist Stacey Solomon, who first confirmed her relationship with Joe Swash in 2016, announced their engagement on Instagram on Christmas Eve.
She revealed on her Instagram stories that Joe proposed as the couple were walking in the woods with their son Rex and Stacey’s other sons, Zachary and Leighton.
Later she posted on Instagram, ‘To the moon and back bub. I have no words š¤ š’.Ā
Setting the scene for her followers, Stacey said, “So since we moved in together two years ago almost every day we walk in the woods across the road. Itās my happy place, I lose myself and breathe in every second of it because to me thatās what lifeās all about.
“My best memories of my life are in those woods. The smell, the different seasons. The freedom I feel watching our boys play there. Today we went for a walk in the woodsā¦ like we always do, but it didnāt look the sameā¦”
Stacey then shared a wonderful photo of hundreds of roses covering a tree in the woodland clearing.
“Actually full on blubbering as I write this,” She added, “And with Joe with our boys in my favourite place in the world, he asked me to marry him and after crying for what felt like a very long time, I said yes.”
